CHATIeR, Fook, 1 WitORe @xXperismeed , THURSDAY, AUG. 4, 1van. Theatrical At the Allen, "The Romance of Old Bill," as re- lated in the film of "The Better 'Ole," is a stirring story eontaining a strong vein of humor and a message to all! who gee it. Olid Bill is played by hands Bairnsfather's character is ad- mirably presented. The striking charm about these master studies is that they are so thoroughly unstud- iad. The characters reek -- that Is a | sound word to use about the trench- es--o0f truth. We see Old Bill, that philosopher of the trenches; Alf and Bert, those life studies in khaki, the comedy of the uniform. Khaki and cashinations is the motto for "The ! Better 'Ole." It is better than any | play. "The Better 'Ole" comes 0 Canada direct from England, and is now running at the Allen theatre for three dxys, commeacing Thursday. -- Advt, At the Griffin, "Iountain Madness' is the unus- ual title of an unusual photoplay | which the Griffin theatre is showing | on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Overtaken by 'the mist that rolls up | the glen," two Jovers quarrel and the outcome of this "love spat' near- ly causes a tragedy in the lives of four young people. However, the mist of understanding clears away before the sunlit rays of reason and al] is again peaceful on Granadoc Crag in the Virginia mountains. Ora Carew is but ona of four stars in this beautiful Republic ple- ture which is an adaptation of Anna Alice Chapin's original story of the fame name, In addition to the above, Mr. Tho- mas Van's eduated ponies and. dogs will be here again by request with new tricks. Those who saw these wonderful performers say that they are the best ever seen in Kingston.

The Seneca comes from the Royal | Canadian Yacht Club, Toronto, and is | | a white sloop, owned by W. Johnson. | She was formerly owned by Jack Ri- | | chardson and Henry Hill, members | of the local club, and did not race | on Thursday morning. The breeze which had been light all morning strengthened about 1.30 trom the west, and drove the boats toward the finishing line. Cruiser Class, In the cruiser class, Sylvia was off on a wonderful start. She jibed ar- ound the starters' buoy and got'a lead of a hundred yards on the other entries. It was a most peculiar start. Ontario and Helen, the latter without Jib, were desepertely trying to get away /but lacked wind and it must have been a sorrowing experience to see the Sylvia, caught in a good breeze, skipping on ahead. Ontario pulled up her jib to get all the breeze possisble but they were forced to lag | behind until they got the wind. Sylvia, the yacht owned by W. { Casey, which won first place on Wed- nesday, did not lose her head In this | class once during the race.
