"The Cabaret Girls" will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House tonight only. This aggregation is without question the most meritor- fous and probably the most costly, ever organized to tour the burlesque houses. In the magnificence of its scenic and costume equipment, as well. as in the talent of its artists, and the up-to-date quality of the entertain- ment provided, "The Cabaret Girls" is really a Broadway musical show. Possibly it is even better, because it possesses a vim, snap and dash that the metropolitan production often lacks, "The Girl in the Bot'le" is the somewhat odd cognomen of the two act, musical burletta presented. This piece is from the pen of the late Junie McCree, and It is claimed for it that it is ome of McCree's best ef- forts.--Advt, Allen, w he last chance to see "Perjury," the William Fox special, at the Allen Theatre will he had tonight.

"Mid-Channel" is its title, and those wih follow the development of "he drama will recall the stir it made at the Bmpire theatre on Broadway, when Bthel Barrymore én the leading part achieved one of the Breatest Successes of her career. The picture is even more effective than the Play, it is declared. The theme is the dangerols time of married Hfe, its "mdd-channel", when it takes Inula to send the patr one way or the other ~-40 success or shipwreck. The pro- duction of the photoplay is worthy of the anthor, the theme and the gifted actress who is the central figure. 'M#id-Channel" has enhanced Miss Young's reputation as a star and de- lighted thousands of fans wherever it has been shown.-----Advt. IEE The Late Mrs. William Baker, Mrs, Willlam Baker, South Crosby, departed this life on Dec. 28th, very suddenly following a paralytic stroke, an liness of only & few hours. De- ceased was a woman of excellent character for work and service to fer family, who will'miss their moth- €r very much. She leaves twa sons, Adiel, on the homestead, and Wil. liam, South Crosby; two daughters, Nre. John Steele, Forfar, and Mrs. W. J. Ready, Lombardy, The Late Mrs. J, ©, \ 'Mueh regret will be felt in King- ton at the news that Mra. J. ©, Brom- ley, wife of Dr. Bromley, Estevan, Sask, passed away suddenly on Jan. dad. Mrs. Bromley was the second daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Mer- riek, formerly of Kingston, pow of MeMasterville, Que., and #8 Miss Queenie Merrick, she was a favorite in Kingston, her girthood home, She leaves two small children and a hus- band as well as her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Merrick, and her sisters, Miss Lyoy Merriok, Kingston, and Mrs. neth Merrick, MoMasterville, Que. ; Kingston the Goad. : ~ Kicgston is on her good beaavior. There has not been a session of the police court this year. There was a 'Blank shoot at the pelice court oa ¢ ay morning. There is some business booked for Thursday's ses- salon.

During the early | wedded life she was frivolous and ; bent on enjoying existence "to the | full, She and King Alfonso were the gayest couple in Europe. But King Alfonso is a gallant, as | wae his father. He inherits gallan- |try. It is in his blood. There came |8 time during which Alfonso's af- | | feottons began to wander and his | |epouse bitterly resented his rather | frequent and varied departures from | the path of matrimonial rectitude. | But the queen found that his sub- | jects, more particularly the women land the most chivalrous men, ad- | mired "him for these exploits, and | she realized gradually that it was useless to try to keep him from in- dulging in them, | The Spanish Court represents the | quintescence of Catholicism, as | becomes an institution whose -head | lis styled "His Most Catholic Ma- | josty."

So, almost natur- | ally, Queen Victorta turned for con- | solation to the religion she adopted in 1908, only two months before her | wedding. She has developed into a devotee.

It will be remember- |ed that the last three times they | visited England they travelled sep- farately. \ | Theirs was' a love mateh. Alfonso | had searched Europe for a Princess | to grace his throne and was captivat- ed by "Epa." Wheh their wonderful wedding was touched by tragedy-- for a miscreant threw a bomb at them in the Calle Mayor as they were driving from the church--the whole world was thrilled with horror and sympathy. But the romance was dissipated long ago and Victoria, now resigned to her lot, finds forgetfulness and solace in religion. Adolphustown News Budget.
