Have you ever heard of a divorce expert? "Nearly Wed", the Rex play for this week, may fur- {nish you with something new én the [tine of conjugal difficulties. The hus- band in Edgar Selwyn's clever farce Is ¢'ill in Jove with wifey, she is the vie'tm of a selfish brother and feels the pangs of exquisite Jealousy when she finds Harry with the paid oo-re- spondent. This same young lady is & business woman who always has an €ye to the main chance. She is equal- ly willing to go on with her paid "vamping" or call it off, Provided she receives her stipend. You will | soe many shows before you wit! find such genuinely funny situations as are "0 be had when the young couple of our sketch start off on their sec- ond honeymoon on a rainy night, and are pursued by their friends, the ubi- quitous brother and the other wo- man; wait till you see Rex and Zana extricate shemeelves from the trou- bles that seem to he overwhelming them. Wall, the course of true love never did \run smooth, they say, and I only hope that everyone who is in- volved in marital troubles, will over- come them as do "he Rex players in "Nearly Wed."--Advt. At The Allen. | The new photoplay at the Allen | Theatre, for the last half of the | week, is "Ace of Hearts," by Gou- {verneur Morris, and was produced by Goldwyn, who also made this ag- thor's powerful story, "The Pen- laity." Those who saw the - latter picture will remember the marvel- |ous impersonation of a legless man | by Lon Chaney. This rémarkable | character actor has one of the three | leading parts in "Ace of Hearts," { The other leading roles are taken by |Leatrice Joy and John Bowers. The story is a powerful drama, dealing with the aim of a fanatical group of reformers to destroy all the evildoers in the world. They are so obsessed with their idea, that they do not realize that to destroy indi- viduals will not raise the moral tone of the universe. The truth does not | come home to the BTOUD as.a whole; but the girl and the man she loves, who are members of the group, re- alize that their love is a far greater | thing than the destruction of a few overweening materialists, How they find peace and how the designs of their colleagues are thwarted furn- ish many thrilling episodes, There are some excellent photo- graphic effects, a rain storm at night bping particularly effective. The picture was directed by Wallace Worsley, . ---- At The Strand. The rise of Peter B. Kyne as a nothing short of A red-blooded man Plains that are as true to life as the living, virile, hard shooting student and lover of human| nature everywhere, and he has been as suc- cessful in his stories of city life as be has been with his tales of out-of doors adventure. "The Ten Dollar Raise," remembered with such pleas- ure by the housands who read it in the "Saturday Evening Post,' is the story of the feature to he shown at the Strand for the latter halt of this week. Produced by J. L. Frothing- ham, with a brilliant cast, this Kyne masterpiece is one of the most ime pressive photoplays from the pure humen interest standpoint that has ever been made, A story of every- day life, of workaday folks, of the ordinary trials and troubles of the average man 'and woman, yet rich in bumor and pathos, and all the els- ments to make an absorbing picture. "The Ten Dollar Raise" should be seen 'by all Kingstoni who love to See -a alice of real life. such as know themselves, presemted on the silver screen. The cast includes Wil- liam V.

Macphail in Command. Queen's University Officers' Train- ing Corps heid i's first Parade of the Seasion Tuesday afternoon when the unit which was re-organized = jast Session and held a successful train- ing season, began this year's instruc tion period. Last winter about (f- ty students dvailed themselves of 'ha CGpportunity to fit themselves to ge Cure an officer's certificate in Cam- ada's militia and many were again anxious this year ¢0 continue the . Although a number graduat- od last spring Tuesday's parade had thirty men, of whom nine were re.. cruits, thus auguring well for the Success of the cenps this year, The training consists of instruction in drill and lect res on military suo- Jects Qneen's corps is at a distinct d- vantage being in a city where there is a military college and the headquarters of a military district, whose officers lectured last year giv- ing the information om subjects of which they are masters. The weekly parades will be held on Saturday afternoons. As many of the men have overseas experience the eleo- mentary drill will be taken by a small squad only. In order to give the students the very latest in military tactics the officers hope to arrange a tour simil- ar to that held in Kingston this fal]. The details will be worked out, if the scheme be carried through, by the staff of the military distriot No. 3. A proposal is being made that a inter-university indoor rifle league be formed, thus stimulating interest in shooting by competition between the different university corps. As this league would embrace all the univer. sity corps in the dominion great in- terest and competition would be as- sured, The nextsparade of the corps will beheld Saturday, at which uniform will be issued. The slate of officers is not al "he present time complete, as several who were with the corps last year have graduated. Several appoint- ments will have to be made. The | corps is commanded by Col. A. Mac- phatl and the company commanders are Col. P. G. C. Campbell and Major J. L. Morison. Capt. BE. W. Skinner, who was ad- jutant of the P.W.O.R. and who is a member of the faculty of science, has been appointed adjutant of the unit. Among the subalterns. who were with the unit last year and will be acting this year are Lieutenants | CADETS ON THE GRID | made with McGill for the "R.M.C. senior team to clash with them in return game in Kingston on Wed- nesday, Nov. 2nd, The cadets are very much handi- capped, with several of their players in bad shape since the last game with Queen's. Among these are Panet and Williams, and "it is not certain whether they will be fit by next Saturday or not, The practice of the cadets yester- day was very ragged as many of the men were still suffering from wounds and bruises sustained during the last battle. Company competition at the col- lege is very strong, and some very exciting games of both rugby and soccer have taken place recently, es- pecially when platoons from rival companies oppose each other. Mundell may not be able to play in the game at Montreal on Satur- day, and the cadets would be severe- ly handicapped thereby, However, they intend to put up a strenuous fight with all their old fighting spirit. -- MANITOBA SEEKING PROF.
