t ~ BATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1921. x i yy . Live " Open Grand Phil will present at the Grand Opera House an amusing plece, "Three Live Ghosts," by Fred- erie 8. Isham, from a novel he wrote, rogh-Friday-and-Baturdsy-Aupust TO ~ and 20th. : Although the three soldiers back from, the war and on their uppers, form the body of the play, it is "01d Sweetheart," the stepmother of a cockney, supposed to have been kill- ed, who is the heart and soul of the piece. Poor old soul that she is, she has been having an easy time of it or Ore in her life with the insur- ance money the government is pay- ing her. Findifig her stepson alive, she im- plores him to remain officially dead, until the final payment on his life insurance is made. "Old Sweetheart" is an old soak, with a bottle of gin always within reach, and a sense of values when she discovers that the American pa] of her stepson has no less a price of one thousand pounds set on his head because of a bond theft in New York. In "The Old Lady Shows Her Med- als," Barrie's heartrending glimpse of the war, Ruby Hallier was pathe- tie. This time she is comic as an old woman with a keen eye for the in- surance money and another eye on the jewels brought to her humble dwelling by a shell-shocked Mklepto- maniac who wanders into her home with the gifts of pearls and a baby in a carriage decorated with toy bal- loons. "Old Sweetheart" is bullied first by her stepson and then by a Scotland Yard man, but she is pati- ent up to the point of asking: "Is this Russia, or merry h'England?" Costly ornaments are stripped from her head and her chest by the Scot- land Yard men, who doesn't quite know' what to make of her. --Adwt, At The Allen. The admirers of Charles Ray turn- ed out in force and gave their film favorite a hearty welcome when his latest Thomas H. Inte production of "An Old Fashioned Boy" was shown at the Allen theatre yesterday. The picture proved a typical Ray offering and its comedy touches were hearti- ly enjoyed. Mr. Ray is seen as a bashful young man who proposes to a somewhat soobbidh girl and when she accepted him, takes her to see a bungalow which he has purchased for ther home. The girl rather resents her sweetheart's precipitancy in the mat- ter and ah estrangement ensues. But the old-fashioned boy, after a senes of comical mishaps, finally adjusts matters and he and his flancee as well as all concerned find happiness Playing opposite the star, Ethel Shannon, a film debutante, created a pleasing impression. The support generally was of the best, the work of Alfred Allen, Wade Boteler, Grace Morse, Gloria Joy and the ju- veniles, Frankie Lee, Virginia Brown and Hal Cooley being clever.--Advt.

D Report of Hoard of Works. . The following report of the board of-works was adopted: "That as a local im enme concrete walk be comgtructed on the south side of Chestnut street, from Carlisle to Cherry street. "That as a local improvement a nine-inch tile sewer be constructed in Union street from Ellerbeck street westerly to drain a house owned by Mrs. Bannister." t Unemployment Situation. Following the passing of by-laws for the paving of the market square and Market street as decided on by the council some time ago, the mem- bers of council indulged in quite a lengthy and lively discussion on the unemployment situation in the city. Ald, Stroud started the ball roll- ing when he asked how long the work to be undertaken would last. -Ald. Angrove stated that it wonld take possibly three weeks. Ald. Btroud then explained the unemployment situation in the city. He pointed out that on April 1st, last, between 700 and 800 men had been thrown out of employment as a result of the closing down of the locomotive works, © Many of the men had been able to "carry on" for a time, as a result of their savings, but just now the situation was different, Ald. Stroud declared that the de- mand at his employment bureau was on the increase and he considered that it would be imperative on the part of the council to provide work for the unemployed. Ald. Angrove, as chairman of the Board of Works, stated that the board was meeting the situation as best it could as the time passed, but at the present time the board was doing all it could do. The board was very anxious to do all it could to help the men out of work. The ques- tion of giving relief work, at a re- duced cost was being considered. The men would not probably like to take a reduction in wages, but the council would have to come to this as the city could not stand the ex- pénse. Mayor Nickle asked that the mat- ter came before the 'council in the form of a motion so that it could be discussed, whereupon Ald. Stroud moved '"'that the board of works re- port on the advisability of providing relief work." Division Street Again, "This is a good time to get some- thing done on Division street," re- marked Ald. Smith, "I think Divis- fon street should have its turn now. It is up to the board of works to see that the work is dome." Ald. Angrove pointed out that to yndertake work on Division street would mean a hardship on people with a large frontage. He had spoken to a contractor regarding géf ting stone, and had been told that it conld be secured at one dollar less, it the work was undertaken as relief work on Division street. Ald, Stroud said that the people on Division street wanted a pavement, the same as-had the people on Bagot street, He did not think it was fair to put a pavement on one strest and not on the other. He declared that the city had its sireets paved well, and at a cheaper rate than other cities. If other cities had been able to get streets paved at a cheaper rate than Kingston he would consider a reduction in wages. The city was now paying at the rate of 40 and 46 cents per hour and about 150 men were employed. The men were being changed every two weeks, He did not think it was right for the council to take advantage of the fact that there was s0 much unemployment in order to get the work done cheaper. The same rate should be paid the workingmen for work on Division street, as had been paid on other streets, . Pr-- Burden on Bagot Street. Ald. Graham said that everyone knew that the ratepayers on Bagot street had been burdened by the cost of paving. These ratepayers would also have to pay their share of the paving on Division street, and if the work on Division street could be done cheaper, the city would be help- ing the Bagot street people, and also every ratepayer, 3 Ald. Graham dedlared that there was nothing at all to the argument put forth dy Ald. Stroud. Ald. Clow said he favored doing something on Division street, but pointed out that many of the rate- payers with small houses-had large frontage and the burden would be heavy. It was hp to the council to give the people on Division street & good road and at the lowest cost possible, Mayor Nickle remarked that he was glad to hear that there was one stréet where the people wanted to Many ratepayers, including the well-to-do, had appeal- ed to him and wanted to know why pense of a new pavement. * Ald, Armstrong thought that Division stredt was put in as good a condition as upper Princess street, it would meet with the approval of the people. He did not want to follow the {dea expressed by Ald. Stroud. He believed the work should be car- ried out at as low a cost as pos- 4 sible: Ri Ald. Fleet said that AM. Stroud ®™ point was a good one, He did not believe in exploiting the men. at such a when work was so scarce. The men should receive the same wages they had been receiving.

Mayor Nickle remarked that the Utilities Commission had an over- draft of $47,000 on gas. Ald. Stroud said the city was not dn a position to give employment to one-half the men who needed it. -- Means Increased Tax Rate, "Suppose we~"do no relief work at all, and what will happen?" asked Mayor Nickle. "It has been said that the men will not work for 35 or 40 cents an hour. We have been dis- cussing this matter here now for twenty minutes. I have been at it for the last three months." . --Mayor Nickle remarked that there was every chance of the tax rate go- ing to 837 mills next year, Ald. Stroud pointed out that all} the salaries of city officials had been raised on the grounds of the High cost of living, and he did not consider it a time for a reduction in the wages of the workingmen, Ald, Graham argued that the work- ingmen could - live better today on 80 and 35 certs an hour than they could two 'years ago on 40 and 45 cents. Ald, Stroud did not agree with this, "Is it right that this municipality should pay more than any other when we supply the relief?" asked the mayor. Ald, Smith claimed that no city had done as much for the laboring men as had the city of Kingston, and that the men had no right to dictate as to what wages they should re- ceive, Ald. Clow said he had been travel- ling all over the province, and he . A scene from "Three Live Ghosts," + Cy, coming to open the Grand Opera rr felt that the council should do some- thing to relieve the situation. King- ston had been trying to do more than any other city for the unemployed. Regarding the city officials, he be- lieved that Kingston was getting more efficiency from her city officials than any other city in the province, and at the same time getting it cheaper. The city officials should be commended for the work they were doing. In his travels he had investi- gated civic conditions, and was in a position to make this statement. Ald, Stroud said that he did not regard the predent as a time for a, reduction in the wages of anyone em- ployed by the city. ---- Sent to Board of Works, "Ald. Couper suggested that the matter be sent on to the board of works for a report. Ald. Angrove stated that no per- son had been more favorable to giv- ing the men the best wages possible than he had been. He had been considering the question of giving relief, and it was for this reason that he had inquired about securing stone at a cheaper figure. In order to provide work, paving - must be done, és all drain work had been complet- ed. If work on Division street was undertaken, it would mean a-hard- ship on some of/the property owners with a large frontage. It would be up to the workingmen. to accept a lower wage in order to help out the situation, Mayor Nickle said the situation was. an acute oné, He had been do- ing all he possibly could to relieve the situation, and yet he had to stand for a great deal of criticism.
