This famous band of Canadian soldier entertain- ers are now operating their own company w comprises fourteen out of the sixtéen original Dumbells. The beauty and sumptuousness of the new revue easily outrivals any former offering the boys have pre- sented to the Canadian public. Those who say "Biff, Bing, Bang" or the "Dumbells Revue of 1922" should not fall to see "Full O' Pep" when fit comes here for there are several numbers that are more merry and delightful than anything they have jever yet attempted. "Red" Newman, as usual scores a decided hit with his many new song numbers, first, the "Flippety Floppety Flappers," in which he is assisted by the famous flapper TOM YOUNG The popular juvenile of- the Old Dumbells revue, "Full Pep," as he appears in his famous "Song of Songs" at the Grand next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. PA ci A chorus, then in a screamingly funny ultra burlesque with ' Charlie Mec- Lean entitled '"'Gone and Done It." Later in \"Oh, It's a Windy Night Tonight," 'and "Stoney Broke in No Man's Land," the latter song he sings in front of a setting of the Thames = Embankment , with the houses of Parliament in the back- ground. The staging and lighting ef- feots are remarkable, but the song Is of the dramatic nature and leaves a decided impression. This number Is said to be even greater than his famous "Oh, It's a Lovely War." "CHILD. FOR SALE" / AT THE ALLEN It has been left to Ivan Abramson, the famous author and motion pic- tare director in his latest dramatic creation, "A Child For Sale," "the feature attraction at the Allen, w- day, Tuesday and Wednesday to center the attention of the general public to the intense issue of the hour. It is rather a daring piece of work and Mr. Abramson did not stop to think a minute whether he would be praised or condemned. Every angle of the story set forth is out- lined with unerring precision in the various situations with the result that rarely a work, be it orally or literally, or a feature picture, has been witneSsed that has so perfect 8 sequence as ""A Child for Sale." Mr. Abramson possesses one big advan- tage over other producers in that he is his own manager, author, scen- arfost and director, and in this way is enabled to put his ideas upon the screen exactly as he conceived them. "A Child For Sale" is perhaps the strongest of his long. line of photo dramas, with beautiful love interest masterly interwoven which no doubt will command the close attention of every kind of audience. One of the remarkable accompt- lishments of the picture is the evo- lution of Creighton Hale into 'lra- matic artist of high order, as critics of the press have carefully noted. he young man therefore essayed juwaile roles, invariably playing the young lover, but this time the di- rector cast him in a serious role {that called for entirely different kind of ecreen acting. In using the ex- pression of one of the press critics "Creighton Hale's work is .wonder- fully clever. He is not only superb but shows capability of taking care of any big serious role that might be assigned to him." The further sdmission of Creighton Hale who cos with Gladys Leslie, "For the first time In my life I was given the opportunity to play a part I always longed to pldw and whether to leave to the opinion, of the great movie fan, and I certainty appreciate Mr. Abramson's efforts in drawing forth my talent qualities." - MARY PICKFORD BACK - IN HER OWN PICTURE Mary Pickford as the Tess of tai- or not I have sticceeded I am willing] | her own right, but: no one could pos~ sibly foresee the heights to which she would rise as the result of a single dramatic effort. Within a few weeks after this initial version of Grace Miller White's popular povel was released, Miss Pickford was pro- claimed the foremost exponént of the silent drama and from that time un- til the present she has been the un- disputed queen supreme of the screen. Moreover, one' of the effects has been most monetary; this film triumph of years bygone placed her firmly on the high road tos much wealth and there' has never béen the slightest lull in the applause which her each succeeding picture elicits throughout the civilized world. There are two outstanding reasons which actuated Miss Pickford in producing a new picture and her own picture "Tess of the Storm Country," now showing at the Strand Theatre. One was the persistent demand -of tens of thousands of motion picture fans and editorial urging of the press; the other was her desire to give her most loved character a chance for even longer life throuzh the advantages of the countless im- provements available in the film- making industry now. '"This restor- ing of 'Tess of the Storm Country' to her place in the cinema sun is the realization of a rather fond ambition of mine, because I regard her as the most vitally important charactér I ever portrayed on the screen," Miss Pickford 'says. "I enjoyed every -|minyte I 'was togged but in her rags, because I love the beautiful spirit which survives all her wretchedness and misfortunes; the spirit which in- spires her to do such humanly noble acts in behalf of the right with so little consideration of self-sacrifice Involved in the deeds." -------- DISMISSED WITH COSTS. Action of Real Estate Dealer Called Premature by Judge. On Saturday morning, Judge H. A. Lavell gave judgment in the case of George A. Bateman, real estate dealer,' vs. Willlam Taylor, which was recently heafd in ~ the Diyiston court. The judgment is as follows: Plaintiff claims from the defend- ant the sum of $199.31, being the batance alleged to be due him under an agreement for the sale of certain lands to the defendant. The purchase price, amounting to $420 plus Interest and taxes, "was to be paid in monthly instalments of $10 each. If default was made the vendor had two remedies. He could either cancel the agreement or bring action to recover the overdue in- stalments, Defendant says that the agree- ment was cancelled but the evidence does not.warrant such a finding. At no time did the plaintiff take such action as would have the effect of rendering the agreement null and voids norvindeed was he ever In a position to do so as will shortly be made clear, It is admitted that the plaintif! has received om account of the pur- chase price the sum of $258, the last payment being the purchase. price of one of the lots which at the re- quest of the defendant was sold by the plaintiff to one Boeking in" Oc- tober 1921. But the total sum of all the payments which have fallen due under the agreement to date is 186s |. than the sum so received and credit- ed, Jt cannot be said therefore that there are any overdue payments. In- deed on the contrary the-purchaser has paid more than the agreement calls for to date. That being the case the plaintiff has not yet acquired the right either to cancel the agreement or bring ac tion for any part of the purchase price. ~ The action, being premature, therefore dismissed with' costs, Large Still is Found Brockville, Feb. 26.--An almost complete still and over one hundred gallons ' of mash/were seized and Charles McNamara and his son, Chdrles, with James Cromwell, were arrested by Inspector Taber, Provin- cial Officer §.
