TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1922, AMUSEMENTS _ 'What the Press Agents Say / Coming Attractions bout - Rex Stock Company. What might be termed the drama- tic triumph of the entire season for the Rex Stock Company will be their next play, '"The Spenders," at the Grand on Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday. it has been said that this story was used to a great extent in filming what is now admitted one of the season's greatest pictures, '"'Fool- ish Wives." Be that as it may, "The Bpenders'" is certainly a play with a punch, more than that, it deals with a delicate subject, -aud/ handles it, and conveys a great and wonderful lesson, to not only married couples, but more than ever to young couples on the verge of matrimony. You-- Mr. Husband, are you a good hus- band; oh I don't mean are you a good provider, for perhaps you are too good? : Do you lavish everything on a wife that doesn't appreciate it, and thus hurt her life rather than help it? And you, madam, have you neglected your duties as a wife, and denied your obligations as a mother; are you selfish? Good mothers don't have time to be selfish. Are you a spender and a waster? There seems little doubt that "The Spenders'" will create a stir in local theatricals that will echo down the ages. A special matinee will be given Friday aftaré noon at 2.30.--Advt. . "Uncle Tom's Cabin" In many respects William H. Kib- ble's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is one of the most important of the season's productions. In the first place it serves to exploit the masterpieces of two of Europe's noted artists, i.e. Ralph Bruni's elaborate painting en-. titled "The Celestial City," and Martz Verion's picture of the New Orleans slave mart; and secondly it has brought back into prominence the memories of that grand old lady, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and serves to reveal the beautiful lessons really to be learned by careful attention. Sec- ond to the Holy Book does "Uncle Tom's Cabin" rank as a sacred in- structor., The pulpit has endorsed it 88 a moral teacher warthy of man- kind's support, while the Board of has been planned by Physical structor Dean of the Y.M.C.A. for the latter end of this week and next.

During the 'war one of the most popular songs ran like this: "If he can-fight Hke he can love, good-night Germany." This sentiment applies Perfectly to Dennis O'Neill, the young'hero of "The Man With Two Mothers," a Goldwyn picture which will be seen at the Allen Theatre to-day. ' Dennis (played by Cullen Landis) is a young Irishman who is oqually at home with the blarney or with his two fists.

The little genius plays the part of Jackie Blair, who lands at BiMs Island, an orphan alien. -- Advt, At The Strand. Ireland is a land of eternal rom- ance, and rarely has Irish romance found a more picturesque presenta- tion on stage or screen than in "The Brides Play," a Paramount picture, which is the feature at the Strand for the first three days of this week. Marion Davies is the star, and her delicate beauty and winsome person-. ality seem to acquire an addea charm in the beautiful scenes and settings which make this picture a real artistic treat. The story hinges on an old Irish custom at weddings, when the bride asked each man pre- sent, "Are you the one I love best?" "A stri representation of this cus- tom in ancient times, and a fine moa- ern revival of it, are shown on the screen, and in each case complica- tion arise because two men answer in the affirmative.

A sidelight on night life in King- {ston, as it pertained to one way- {ward girl at least, was given in the lice court on Tuesday morning. young girl stood accused of vag- {ran cy, but when the charge was {read, surprised, "I have a home to go to and I do not see how I can be gharged with |i vagrancy," said the accused. The police had their turn and, told about what happened on Mon- day night, when the girl had her "night out." Constable Fitzgerald noticed the girl in the waiting room of the Grand Trunk station at 3.30 a.m. appeared to be her plight. She had no railway ticket, Earlier in the evening the constable noticed the young woman going over Barriefield bridge, with a male companion. Constable Vernon Campbell told about seeing the accused on the street at night, and his evidence went to show that her actions were not all of the best. After the police had their turn, the accused had a few things to say and what she said was put over with dramatic effect, The accused said ge was working every day, but admitted going out for car rides with men, and admitted going over to Barriefleld Monday night with a friend, but explained her being out so late in the morning with the announcement that she had gone to the outer station with a friend to meet another friend.

But this was only on Satur- | day nights. Evidently this is her free night. The accused has been in trouble before with the police, and the mag- istrate remanded the case for two days. Some action will likely be taken to give the girl a fresh start. The court had a distinguished per- son in the prisoners' box this a.m., in one Patrick Murphy, all the way from dear old Dublin, Ireland, and when the case was called the court room was soon filled with some good Irish brogue that would have tickled the Irish "cops" who used to be on the local force. Pat 'was up for being "'intoxicated in a public place." And he did not deny the charge. In typical Irish fashion, he explained to the magis- trate that he had met a friend, and had a few drinks. My! how often room. Some person rem: xed that the first time they heard this story they fell out of their cradle. Well, they put it over nearly every day still, wherever there is a court. "But I have a good job to go to," went on Murphy. "I have a good record. I am a sea-faring man, and spent five years in the navy." The accused told his story under oath, and he gave the Bible a smack that could be heard in the city treas- urer"s office. The charge of being "Intoxicated in a public place" was enlarged for one day, and Murphy thought it was all over, when he was confronted with another charge--that of steal- ing a robe from a local garage on Monday night, Two men swore they saw Murphy make off with the robe and then suddenly drop it. Why he dropped the robe was a puzzler, as no attempt had been made to molest him. "I don't remember robe," said Murphy. I do with it." Magistrate Farrell said that there was no doubt in his mind as to the guilt of Murphy, but he was inclin- ed to believe that he had taken it just because he was dfunk, as he had dropped the robe without any good reason. On the charge of theft, Murphy was allowed to go on suspended sen- tence. Murphy served in Russia. Murphy got off some good Irish before he left the court, "I have a good record if I haven't lost it,"" he remarked to the magis- trate (meaning that he had his war service record.) taking the "What would .

The bride, who was given away by her eldest brother, was attired in a navy blue travelling suit with hat to match, fox furs and corsage bou- quet of sweet peas and roses.

For the Season Was a Great Success on Monday Evening. The Princess of Wales Own Regl- ment, Kingston's oldest military unit once more came into the foreground when the regiment turned out for the first parade of the season Mon- day evening. The roll call showed that 275 all ranks were on parade and a number of recruits signed up, which, added to this number in- creases the strength of the battalion. The evening was devoted to the issuing of clothing, etc., and talks be- tween officers and men with regard to the programme of work mapped out. Every member of the regiment is enthusiastic over the training this season, and everything points to a more than ever successful year and a still more efficient battalion. The regimental band under W. Christ mas, W.0., played in the armouries during the evening and delighted the crowds of visitors who swarmed the galleries. The scene was one of tre- mendous activity, The companies, parading on their respective parade grounds, answering the roll call, do- ing a few movements to freshen up, new members being fitted out with clothing, bands practising, signallers and stretcher bearers getting into trim, the quartermaster's stores and orderly room humming like beehives gave the onlooker something to think about and made one realize that the good old regiment was still alive and something to be proud of. Every Monday and Friday even- ings until further orders the batta- lion will parade, but Friday of this week, being Good Friday, the com- manding officer has given the men a holiday, but on Monday next all will settle down to real hard training. Everything possible Is being done in the interests of the members of the regiment. Classes in boxing, wrestling and ju-jit-su, under the direction of Sgt. H. Haunts, an ex- pert at this work, are being held. Baseball and basketball have alreaay got teams from all the companies and details of the battalion.
