Nothing threatens to destroy 8 great portion of the younger genera~ tion of the country as does tha ter- rible drug evil, and in the stamping out of the menace all factions are doing their utmost culminating in the conc efforts of police, or- ganization and motion picture in- dustries to bring about a cleaner and better country. In the last category perhaps the greatest efforts yet put forth is in the wonderful picture "The Greatest Menace," a picture written by Angela C. Kaufman, and in itself a crusade to end the world's narcotic Chief of Police Robinson of this city, in speaking of the drug habit, expressed himself as only too pleased to heartily endorse anything such as motion pictures which would tend to énlighten-the public to the necessity of stamping out this great evil and spoke in glowing terms of the good which will be done by "The Greatest Menace." While Kingston may seem to be singularly fortunate in not hav- ing many drug addicts within her confines it is not because there is no danger of the traffic becoming pre- valent here. From one end of the country to the other the drug evil has been increasing, and Chief Rob- inson deems it the paramount duty cf every sane-thinking citizen to do his best towards lessening the evil, and one great way in which they may be educated to the harrowing dis- tress which is wrought by the evil iis to see "The Greatest Menace." But it must not be thought that "The Greatest Menace" is a lecture or a sermon; on the contrary it is a powerful photo-drama, interspers- ed with splendid bits of true humor and comedy, but all the time sound: ing forth the great danger which fs daily increasing in Canada. Th little flower which has strangled the life of China is making such a steady growth in Canada and the United States that nothing but the whole- hearted and concerted efforts of everyone can stay its nefarious pro- gress. in the fair dominion. The ipicture comes ta the Alen theatre both as an entertainment and an education, the various roles played by some of the most famous screen sidered that for the twelve months ending March 31, 1922, the Federal government alone prosecuted 23 doctors, 11 druggists, 4 veterinary surgeons, 165 drug dealers, and 6314 Chinamen, making a total of 833 convictions, it will be seen that tha traffic is indeed making terrible 'in- roads on the social life of the coun- try. In a story which in no way offends, "The Greatest Menace" visualizes the evil effects of the drug and ths manner in which the drug ring not only preys on those who are already enmeshed in its poisonous met, but is ever seeking to make new addicts {0 a habit which can only end in com- plete bodily and moral demoraliza- tion and is only terminated b¥ death. "The Greatest Menace" is being shown at the Allen theatre next week and bears a powerful lesson with ft Lthat it will not fail to strongly ap- [peal to every one, and leave a lasting impression on all those who see the .picture.
