The Queen's Dramatic Club wiil | present its annual'theatre night pe:- formance at the Grand Opera House | on Wednesday evening, Nov. 29th. | The Club feels that it has made a particularly happy choice this year in the play, "The Importance of Be- ing Earnest," by Oscar Wilde, which was characterized by the author In his own apt way as "a trivial comedy for serious people." The Import- ance of Being Earndst," was first produced at the St. James' .Theatrs, Londoli, on February 14th, 1895, and ever since has enjoyed a wid» popularity among play readers as well as theatre-goers the world over. It is full of humorous scenes and abounds in those witticisms and bril- liant epigrams for which Oscar Wilde is famous. . Rex Is At It Again. Not since that delightful comedy, "In Walked Jimmy," has "Rex" had a real "Rex" part, but this coming engagement the last half of this week of the popular comedy he comes into his own again, in one of those uproarious comedy parts, that while you laugh, gives you a littie tug at your heart. In the title role of "His Majesty" he has four long acts and five scenes to remind yon that the Rex Stock Company 'is not only as good, but is better than it ever was. This comedy aside from being entertaining, like "In Walked Jimmy" carries a great lesson and that is a lesson of Self-Confidence, without egotism. It shows that a man without confidence {n himself will never reach the heights of a man's desire, but that a man, who, without being afflictel wun a "swelled head" can have abundant confidence in himself and really be- lieve what he thinks, can conquar the world. Zana Vaughn, as "The Flapper," has a truly delightful part, and our Bill Yule as "Pops" is immense. Billy Seymour and Howard Brown have good parts, as had Kid" Kelly. > ye At The Alien. By all the laws of stage and screen a director, after producing a big success, is allowed to turn out a fair offering or two before being obliged to equal precedent with an- other triumph. But John M, Stahi, after making the remarkable "Child Thou Gavest Me," neglected to take advantage of his professional privi- lege and followed it with a picture that not only equals "The Child Thou Gavest Me" for entertainment value but excels it as an audience- attraction. "The Song of Life" is a faithful reflection of life with all of the little human qualities and strong dramatic moments that belong to a story that delves beneath the sur- face of convention. It represents the happy medium in popular plays that lies between the sexy and the namby-pamby productions. Censors cannot in fairness cut anything out oi i, and the millions of theatre pa. trons who like a good story with n1- tural situations and a strong climax will appreciate it. John M. Stahl conceived the theme for "The Song of Life." Summed up it is a drama of dishes and discontent. That tells the story. See it at the Allen today or Wednesday. At the Strand. Wallace Reid in "The Ghost Breaker" opened to capacity busi- ness at the Strand last night. There is also a Tonnerville Comedy, "The Skipper's Sermon," and other short reels of quality. Just the usual prices for this splendid programme. "The Ghost Breaker," a picture which must be classed among the finest comedy dramas of the year, had its initial presentation at the Strand Theatre last evening, and was most enthusiastically received. Wallace Reld, the star, beautiful Lila Lee, and Walter Hiers, were ex- cellent in their respective portrayals. The story starts off with a thrilling feud fight in Kentucky, and winds up In a ghost infested castle in Spain. Mr. Reid is delightful in his por- trayal and Lila Lee is charming as ever as his leading woman, playing the role of a Spanish senorita to perfection. Walter Hiers is seen as a negro servant and provides much relishable comedy. The picture is well worth seeing.

The Toronto Globe says: Many people went away convinced that "Dave" Harding was the most useful man on either team. Certainly the ex-Sarnia star showed a world of effectiveness in his all-round play. His tackling was immense and he was in almost every play. It was Leadley's football master- piece, and it was no wonder that many were convinced that he was the best man on the fleld. Frontenac Hockey Practice. The Frontenac hockey team is to hold its first athletic practice at the Jock Harty arena this evening (Tues- day) from eight to nine o'clock. "Jack" Powell will be in charge of the training of the team. It is the intention of the management to hold practices on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. If the cold weather rontinues it will not be many more days until there is good ice, Naval Brigade Challenge, The football team of the Boys' Naval Brigade, tliat recently de- feated one of the school teams, is out with a challenge to meet any team in the same class from any of the city schools. Instructor Newton is congratulat- ed upon the work and the splendid showing of his boys, and the spirit that is always carried into the varl- The season is now far advanced, but he hopes for another contest with a team from one of the cadet com- panies that must have conisderable promising football material upon which to build a good football or- ganization and isure the develop- ment of future athletes. Indoor Baseball, Although a good game of indoor baseball is promised for Tuesday night, when the Heavy Battery team meets R.M.C. at the Armouries, a great deal more interest is centred on the double-header staged for Sat- urday night, when the 4th Hussars will attempt to pull a win over D.H. Q., and the second game will furn- ish fireworks also--as the two strongest teams in the group Front- enacs and Heavies, will clash for the leadership. PUTTING STRAW ON FIELD. The Gridiron May Also Be Covered With (Canvas. The authorities at Queen's Univer- sity announce that the playing field at the George Richardson Memorial statium will be covered with straw 80 that the ground will be dry for the Dominion final game between Queen's and Eskimos of Edmonton On Tuesday morning a gang of men were put to work at clearing away the snow, which was about two in- ches deep. Once the snow is remov- ed, a thick covering of straw will be thrown over the ground. If the authorities are able to get sufficient canvas, the straw will be covered over. It is a well known fact that Queen's players work better on a dry fleld, and for that reason everything possible will be done to keep it ab- solutely dry. The sale of reserved seat tickets will commence on Wednesday. The Queen's authorities have hundreds of applications for , seats for the game. COMMENT ON QUEEN'S. Most People Delighted. W. A. Hewitt in the Toronto Star writes: Nobody begrudges Queen's proud standing in tie Football Hall of Fame in 1922. In fact, most people are delighted that the crown of the eastern cham- pionship should go to the tri-color. It has been an unprecedented football year for Queen's, and if they can win from the western champions next Saturday the triumph will be complete. The champion-Queen's team of 1922 will go down into football his- tory as a team with a punch--a team able to take advantage of the "breaks" of the game to score a vic- tory. In this respect Queen's resembles this year's Princeton team, cham- pions of the U.S. Big Three--other teams appeared superior both on paper and on the field, but the Tig- ers invariably came out on top. Qneen's Better Balanced. Commenting on Queen's victory over Argos the Citizen says: "Queen's won because the' colle- glans were a better balanced team. The tri-color made few mistakes, whereas on other hand Argos blundered, 'dnd "Blundered badly, on several occajions. Argos' line was probably a little more effective than * | Queen's, but behind the line, Queen's was supreme. The work of Batstone, Leadley and Harding excelled that of Connacher, Sullivan and McCor- mick." J Battled Gamely, Toronto Telegram: body begrudges ous sports in which they participate.) with it." The report may be wide of the mark, but, if accurate, shows just how the new titleholders 'pull together." It would be typical of the unselfish Batstone to make an answer like 'that. -- | GANANOQUE | | GANANOQUE Nov. 27.--On Saturday evening, the marriage took place of Miss Winnie O'Brien and R. Merkley, Calgary, Alberta. The attendants were Miss Rebecca Calow and John B. O'Brien, brother of the bride. The happy couple left immediately for Ottawa, where they will spend a short honeymoon. In the near fu- ture they. will proceed to Calgary where "they will reside. The - bride was a very highly esteemed young lady of Gananoque, and will be greatly missed in Ner large circle of friends. - The groom travels in tha western provinces. .

Many Gananoqueans motored to K'ngston Sunday afternoon to join in giving a royal welcome to our rug- by heroes. The day was an ideal one for the return of brave men and true, but all were disappointed in not being given the opportunity of | showing their appreciation of the wonderful conquest. .Among those motoring to King- ston at the week-end were Messrs.
