A motion picture that marks an-| other milestone in the progress of the silent dramatic art will be the | piece de resistance for patrons of thle Allen Theatre starting today. It is the screen version of William Dudley Pelley's great story, "The Light In the Dark," presenting not only a plot of great dramatic vigor and fascinating romance but intro- ducing several scenes in color. Hope! is the charming star of "The Light in the Dark," and with her will be seeri such famous-play- ers as BE. K. Lincoln, Lon Chanéy, Theresa Maxwell Conover, Dorothy Walters, Charles Mussett, Edgar Norton - and Dore Davidson. The star portrays the role of Bessie MacGregor. an orphaned country irl, who goes to New York to make her living. She obtains'\a/ position as a check-room girl, but an auto- mobile accident takes her from rath- er drab surroundings to a home of wealth and social standing. There J. Warburton Ashe is fascinated by {her charm and beauty -and makes She believes him, but when she learns of his deception she leaves. The finding of a strange cup in an English forest, however, leads Ashe back' to the girl in the slums of the East Side. Around this cup ist woven a powerful story, in which romance, tragedy and stirring adventure figure. The bold theft in a courtroom of the goblet, which is rumored to be the Holy Grail, and the dramatic finish of the thief who goes to the bottom of, the river with his precious loot furnish some of the big thrilling punches in this extra- ordinary production. 'The Light in the Dark" is a First National picture and a guaranteed attraction. . r t t I be "OUR MARY" CHARMS. Strand Crowded - to the Doors and S8.R.0. Sign Out. Never before have local theatre- goers shown such favoritism for Mary Pickford as they have, thus far this week at the Strand theatre, where this illustrious star is appear- ing in her new screen version of "Tess of the Storm Country." There, is no doubt as to the wis- dom and good judgment of Miss Pickford in selecting this triumph of thé past as worthy material for the making of a still greater film. She has written an important chapter into screen history in the manner in which she has produced this picture for a second tf} her brilliant career and, if it is e she essayed ths revival with the idea of creating a classic. which would live in posterity, there is every indica- tion she has insured = herself ade- quate success in the ambition.' It is confidently predicted by most of the best versed critics-that this 1922 model of "Tess of the Storm Country" is going to be a popular good one? to-day's want ads. In Memory of the Late Lieut.

Sa i March is always one of our rough- est winter months. Whether it comes in like a lamb and goes out Hke a lion, or whether the opposite is the case, there is always rough weather in abundance, and we who can afford to be warmly clad find the need of our warmest garments. Imagine your mother, your wite, or your babjes, facing the winter weather with filmsy cotton stockings, shoes whose only 'virtue is that they are well ventilated ,and other clothing also in a very dilapidated condition. "It is rather a thought for any mam. Yet there are mothers, wives and children in 'Kingston who have not shoes of any sort and many of them have no prospects of getting any- this winter. In some cases henoic mothers have given such pro- tection as they have had to their children, and the mainstay of the household is thus left in constant It is not their The desperate efforts of some of them to secure employment of any kind has been evdience of that--but the big question is, are they going to { be left thai way ?

The morning was dull and damp with snow falling. The poll at the general election totalled 22,000 'but the expectation has been that it will be lighter this time, with penhaps about 6,000 casting their ballot. In- dications are that there will be a large vote in Windsor but it is antici- pated there will be a falling off in the country. Both sides yesterday reserved themselves for to-day and dispensed with the holding of meetings, While Mr. Meighen arraigned the King ad- ministration in his speeches in the riding, the local Conservatives ap- parently do not believe in this policy as a successful vote gettér. In an advertisement inserted by the Rob- inson campaign committee on the eve of the election this is part of an ap- peal to Liberals: "We bronght out a candidate whom we knew you would like, a very clean and honorable gentleman who has never had a political axe te 'grind and who has no. political sins to answer for, and we have tried to, sink the party stuff as much as post sible, Had to bring down some of | the big fellows, of course, to offset the same kind of thing on the other side, but in the main we have not hesitated t admit that this is not a purely political contest and we think you have appreciated that. We want you to know that if our candidate is elected, as we honestly believe he will be, we are not going to flaunt a success in your faces." MANITOBA RURAL SCHOOLS.

A survey shows. that during this week a number of car loads of coal or substitutes have arrived in the city and it is not expeoted that any home will suffer from the cold, The. coal dealers state that they have been able to get a number of car- loads of fuel during the past weeks, but it Is yery quickly deliver- ed. " Charfes Anglin," of S. Anglin & Co., when speaking to the Whig, stated that his firm has received seven cars of fuel this week and they expected more in the very near fut- ure,. Some of the cars were loaded with hard coal. of different sizes, while the others had substitutes such as coke and briquettes, William Drury, coal and wood dealer, said that he had received one carload of hard coal this week, and he expected that he would have four 'more during the month. James Swift & Co., stated that they have been able to get a carload of coal each week, but there was no surplus on account of there heing so many back orders. The Sowards Coal company has not received any cars of hard coal this week, but received some soft end cannel coal. The firm of R. Crawford Company | has been able to get a-few cars of coke, but as far as hard coal is con- cerned. their bins are practically empty. Some of the coal dealers, when asked if they thought the opening of navigation would help things. stat- ed that it might but they were of the opinion that there was a great shortage of hard coal at the mines. Ome dealer stated that the people could mot expect to get as much hard coal this year on account of the miners being out of the mines for five months in 1922, Until such time as hard coal com- mences to reach the city in any large quantities, the citizéns are ad- vised to burn wood or other substi- tutes, TO BEGIN REBUILDING CHURCH OF ST.

Mr. Raney that the liquor dispensaries operated on a gross profit of 33 per cent. and returned a net profit of 20 per cent., that strong beverages were cheaper at these government stores than in Quebec or in British Colum- bia, and that, while the Liquor Li- cense Act had cost from $150,000 to $250,000 per year to administer, the Ontario Temperance measure cost from $300,000 to $475,000 per year r for its enforcement.

GOOD-BYE FEBRUARY; MARCH IS LAMB-LNE Story of the Old Superstition of the Lion and the Lamb. Well! the month of February -is over, and the question now is this: "What has Margh in store for us? For the month of March, there is an old saying that if it comes in like a lion, it goes out like a lamb, The Weatherman predicted a lamb-like entrance for March, and. he hit it right, 'March is nobody's child, it rains one day and snows another, has one day stormy and the next fine," {is what the gossips say about him. The old Andalusian superstition concerning the lion and lamb tells of a shepherd who promised, March a. lamb if he would favor the flock with propitigus weather. March agreed end conscientiously acted up to his - part of the agree- ment, but just before the end of the month, he asked for the lamb, and the shepherd thinking only threq more days of March's reign were loft, and little damage could be done to his flock in that time. refused to give the lamb. "You won't give me my right, won't you?" sald March, "then in the three days I have left, all your isheep shall die," and accordingly such fearful weather, including roar-- ing winds, ensued ,that aM the shepherd's flock perished. See the way the old saying, "goe ing eut like a 6 a lam," originated. UNHITCHED HIS HORSE BEFORE TRAIN HIT SLEIGH Cataraqul Chinaman Had Nare row Escape--Left Sleigh on the "Tracks.
