Barrie Street Theatrical At the Strand. A 'dozen condemned men enjo¥ed the privilege of seeing the first mo- tion picture ever exhibited in Sing Sing's death house through the kindness of Thomas Meighan, Para- mount stay, and. his director, Tom Forman, who recently presented a projection machine to the prison. In- teriors of the pxison are shown in Mr. Meighan's new picture, "The City of Silent Men," which will be shown at the Strand Theatre to-day. Mr. Meighan recently staged an escape scene at Sing Sing for his latest Paramount picture, 'The City of Silent Men," and he was so struck with the utter dreariness of the life of the inmates of the death- house that he asked Warden Lawes if a motion picture projection ma- chine could be used here. The Warden said the men might see cen- sored pictures occasionally and the projection machine wasYordered. It arrived in time to add a little mirth to the last Christmas many of the condemned men enjoyed.--Advt, At The Griffin.

Franklin's initial inHe- pendent production, 'Not Guilty," is the first Harold MacGpath story that he hag directed. Franklin is a great admirer of MacGrath's novels and considers that they are of the finest picture material. The feature will be seen at the Allen theatre to-day. "'MacGrath," says Franklin, "has a vivid Imagination and a keen sensa of romance, which will ever make his stories desirable for the screen. Hi; world wide travels have given him an intimate touch of all human nature and he can draw as fine a character study as can any American novelist, : "MagGrath's 'The Yellow Typh- oon,' Says Franklin, "which was recently picturized by Louis B. May- er with Anita Stewart as the star, stands out as the most successfui Stewart production of 1920, which proves my contention as to the merit of this author's works.""--Advt. i ------------ FUNERAL OF W.

Mun Shot Himself as Doctor Came for Examination. Cornwall, June 24.--Robert John Alguire, forty years of age, who re- | sided alone in the second concession of Roxborough Township, committed suicide by shooting himself over the heart with a 38-calibre revolver. It is said he had been acting queerly for a few days, and Dr. Dickey, of Newington, was called in to examine him. When Alguire saw the physi- cian he slammed the door, locked it, and informed the doctor that '"'he was done with it all." A few minutes afterwards a re- port was heard and smoke was seen coming from an upstairs window. Two brothers of Alguire investigat- ed and the man was found dead on a feather tick on the floor with the tick and part of his clothing on fire. The flames were extinguished and Dr. Dickey found the revolver be- side the body with two shells dis- charged. Dr. J. M.
