The featured play- er is Mary Carr, who made such a hit in "Over the HIIL™ When the picture was in the mak- ing, in order to have the correct at- mosphere for the cluster of dwell- ings which gave the book its title of "The Custard Cup," a reproduction of the place was built over on Long Island, complete In every detail. The court stood on the edge' of a lively little town not far from Flush- ing Bay. Mrs. Penfield's home, which according to the author, was con- structed from an old barn, follows faithfully the description In the book. The lawns and flower border. ed walks In front of the other houses were laid out with close attention to proper detail and the little park in the centre of the court with its sing- Je apple tres was in keeping with the scene. For several weeks the inhabitants | of the place near the Bay watched | the building of tie movie addition to their town with curious eyes. On "Custard Cup' 'scenes the arrival of the large company of principals and extras brought hundreds of spec- tators to the location. All the chil- dren from five to fifteen years of ! age were at once invited by Director { Herbert Brenon to take part in the | amusement ensemble scenes that are a prominent feature of this por- tion of the action. « ce At The Strand. Patrons of the Strand theatre have one of the finest motion picture treats ever offered here in store for them this week at the popular and cool theatre, when Willlam Fox' great picture, "Nero" is presented. Coming from a record run at the Lyric theatre, New York City, *Nero" promises to be one of the greatest drawing cards ever shown in King- ston and every theatre-goer should make it a point to see this wonder- 'picture which was filmed at tremen- dous cost and with elaborate detail. "Nero" deals with the high lignts of the reign of the pampered and viclous king, Nero, who ruled Rome with an iron hand, and whose great de- light was to persecute the Christians. Undeniably it is without a doubt the finest, biggest picture so far shown for this season. Beyond that it rides into the classification of being one of the biggest, most spectacular and finest pictures ever made. One great smash follows another so close- ly that not until it is all over is iy possible to appreciate what has hap- pened. There are chariot races at the Circus Maximus, the strangling of a lion by the stalwart slave of the Christian girl, the surging of the troops and the mob through tho vast Circus set, and all so splendidly done. The great picture wag film- 'ed entirely in Italy, most of the work being done at the Fox studios, Rome, and was staged by an American pro- ducing staff under the direction of J. Gordon Edwards, the first super- apecial wholly produced abroad by an American technical force. Photographically: tho picture is a delight. Duo-tone scenes are used throughout, and the costumes arc most gorgeous. The drices for this special attraction 1 be 16 and 25 cents in. the afl ons and 26 and 35. cents in the evenings.

To be charged with fobbing her own husband of $10.16, was the ex- perience of one, Mrs, Arthur Smal- ley, when she was arraigned before County Magistrate J, W. Bradshaw, | at the court house, on Monday fore- noon. John Carter, who it is allegey eloped to Windsor, Ont., with Mrs. Smalley, was also charged with stealing. It is claimed that the couple, after securing the money, left for Windsor. Provincial Con- stable Roy Clark made a trip to Windsor with Mr. Smalley, and put Mrs, Smalley and Carter under ar- rest, The three principals of the case hail from the old country. Smalley is. a steward at the Country Club, Barriefield, and has been here for five months. Mrs. Smalley came out from the old country in June, last. It appears that Carter, who had been a friend of both Mf. and Mrs. came out on the same steamship with Mrs. Smalley, and on arrival, stayed at the Smalley home for a few days, later going to Windsor, where he is employed. It is stated that he made a few trips to Kingston and while here was the guest of Mr. and Mrs, Smal- ley. The robbery and flight to Wingsor by the couple is alleged to bave taken place on July 23rd. The couple pleaded "not guilty" to the charges, but after the evi- dence of Smalley had been taken, the couple were committed to stand trial. T. J. Rigney conducted the prose- cution/ and A. Revelle appeared fox the accused. In his complaint to the police, Smalley declared that Carter got him under the influence of liquor and then he and Mrs. Smalley roobed him ef his money and made off to Wingsor. Smalley believed that his wife and Carter had gone to Windsor and reported this to the police. Charges were laid and Constable Clark, ac- companied by Smalley, went to Wingsor and took the couple into cugtody. It is stated that they were living together as man and wife in the Border City. SNOQRES AND SNOOZES LISTED FROM GENESIS TO STEEL BEDS In connection with a sale of beds, mattresses, and springs the James Reid firm has a very interesting ex- hibit arpanged in its large show windows. It depicts the way man slept from the time of the first in- habitants of the earth until the pres- ent age of scientific and sanitarily cushioned luxury. i The first panel is a cave back. ground with the pile of skins which served as a bed for the pre-historic man. Perhaps he thought it good enough but it is certainly no thing of beauty to modern eyes. Then there is a reproduction of the strange couch of Tut-ankahamen with its queér carving and the couch itself born between two ani- mals. Low stools to match are with the Egyptian couch. This may have been comfortable for King Tut, but not for us, thanks. The third shows an old English bed modelled after the style of 1650, a stout four-post- er with ropes stretched tightly and interwoven to form the couch. It is somewhat of an improvement on the others but has mamy draw-backs, most of which can be easily imagin- ed. The last exhibit is a twin-bed de- sign, the latest creation of the man- ufactursgy, of Simmon's beds. The mattresses are deep and Inviting, the framework of steel beautifully finished to represent wood, and the springs of the vepy latest design. The display has attracted a great deal of interest and attention. FIRE IN MONTREAL - DOES $500,000 DAMAGE Jennings Carriage Factory Burned -- Apartment Houses Destroyed.

DAVIS vs. HUSSARS CITY LEAGUE PLAY-OFF HE pmiie 116 DAY AND NIGHT CALLED SPINTUALISH A MASIER DELUSION Address by Evangelist Lind=' say at the Gospel Tent, Barrie Street. ------ "Spiritualism is the work of de- mons. It is the master delusion of world. It originated with the ie that Satan told Eve when he de- clared she would not die for cating the forbidden fruit, and it will go down with all liars in the lake of fire when the devil and his follow- ers are destroyed." Evangelist Wesley Lindsay in ems phasizing the "False Claims of Spiri- tuaMsm," in his lebture at the gos- pel tent on Barrie streot, near York, last night, . declared tnat '* When spiritualism is tested by the divine criterion, its revelations and preten- tions vanish into the air. Hs com- munications are fio more like: the messages of the prophets and apost- les than a counterfeit note is like a genuine one; and a careful consider- ation of the two settles at once the question of their rival claims. "Spiritualism denies the | inspira- tion and authority of the Bible and the mecessity for the atonement; it proclaims the divinity of man while denying the divinity of Christ. It exalts bitter opponents of Ohristian- ity to positions of honor in the spirit realm. But the very essence of fis teaching consists of a certain spiritu~ alization -- and by that the dissi- pation -- of those conceptions of truth and duty which an individual derives from reason and revelation, and upon which rest the stability of the home and of the state. Thus it Jeads the mind into mental and mor- al confusion and brings about a gen- eral weakening of the bonds of mor- al obligation, with a resulting anta- gonism to law both human and di- vine. "Pretending to bring to humanity the light of a higher realm of know- ledge, the results of spiritualism are visible in the sundering ol marita ties and the wrecking of homes, th filling of insane asylums and of sul cides' graves Its dangerous charac- ter is admitted by some of its emi- nent exponents, such as Arthur Cou. an Doyle and Hereward Carrington. "The Scriptures warn us that just prior to the coming of Christ, Satan will work in our world 'with all pow- er and signs and lying wonders.' 2 Thess. 2:9, 10. Unclean spirits will 'go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.! Rev. 16:13-16. The whole world is to be led astray by these pretended communications from the dead. Surely it was for jsuch a time as this that these words of inspiration were given us: 'And then when they shall Bay unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep . and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? > To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not accord- ing to this word, it is because there is no ght 'in them.
