THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG WOLFE ISLAND BARN |) STRUCK BY LIGHTNING The Hay Destroyed -- Mrs. | Sydney Ley Was Stunned By the Bolt. ~ AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions : "REFUGE," STORY OF STRANGE AND THRILLING ADVENTURES " A riot of thrills and fast action, together with the beauty and per- sonality of the star, make Kather- ine MacDonald's new First National picture, "Refuge," at the Allen Theatre Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday well worth seeing. The star player never looked more attractive, nor wore more beautiful gowns, while 2 new and vibrant note in her acting is making her many followers more enthusiastic than ever. ; The story is something new for the '"'American Beauty'---a fast ad- venture tale lald in Moravia, an European kingdom to which three soldiers, weary with months of ighting in the trenches, go in search of peace. They meet a huge touring car, driving like mad on the road. In the car is the beautiful Countess Nedia, who responds to their re- quest for a "lift." In the tonneau is the body of a man! It is here a se- ries of strange and thrilling adven- tures begin. Hugh Thompson, as the husband, gives a fine perform- ance, while Eric Mayne, as the coun. tess' uncle, is his own distinguish- ed self. To Arthur Edmund Carewe goes much éredit for his repressed ana convincing portrayal of a difficult part. : Gordon Russell, Gunnis Davis and Victor Potel, as the hastily recruit- od army of the lady in distress, are both chivalrous and amusing, while Grace Morse interprets the role of the faithful maid cleverely. Buster Keaton in "The Ballponatic" is the assurance of an abundance of laughs. Katherine MacDonald 'REFUGE ad = RU, | Suspense, Surprises, Thrills and. Homance crowded into an even- . ing of delightful entertainment that carries you away to a land of adventure. BUSTER KEATON in "'Balloonatics"' - WOLFE ISLAND A bara and horse stable on Wolfe | Island were badly gutted by fire, as a result of being struck by lightaing, about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday William Reynor is the owner of the property, dnd Sydney Ley is theilen- ant. The barn was filled with the! season's crop of hay, and it was de- | stroyed. Luckily all the stock, cam. sisting of twelve head, were saved. The farm machinery was also saved. The hay made a big blaze and the fire was burning till 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The crop of oats bad not yet becn put inio the barn, so this too was saved. Water Was secured from a well on the farm to fight the fire, but this wert dry after two. hours' pumping. Mrs! Ley was engaged in milking in the barn, when the bolt of lighi- ning struck the buidings and she was badly stunned, but escaped serlsus injury. Mr. Raynor carried some insur- ance on the buildings but Mr. Ley had no insurance on the stock. - Fashions Charming styles from our leading fashion centres, in exclusive models of Crepe de Chene, Georgette and Canton Crepe for After- noon or Street Gown.

IM PRINCESS STREET LEEATRICE JOY, NITA NALDI, LEWIS STONE and PAULINE vs ws BEAUTY, TYPES ARE \ WELL CONTRASTED For contrast in feminine pulchri- tude and temperament, few motion pictures recently produced can, by any stretch of the imagination, equal George Melford's latest Para- mount picture, 'You Can't Fool Your Wife," which comes to the Strand theatre tomorrow and in which the three principal feminine roles are played by Leatrice Joy, Nita Naldl and Pauline Garon. M!ss Joy, as Edith McBride, is the trusting wife, charming and ingenu- ous, yet intuitive to the last degree. Her particular type of beauty, with her soft.brown eyes and dark brown, hair, gives just the necessary sym- pathy to the role of the modern wife, troubled and tormented by a million- alre husband who has reached the so-called dangerous age. Miss Naldi is the siren de luxe in the picture--a polished beauty, wife of an eminent surgeon, who seeks social conquests to further her hus- band's practice.

J The Toronto Star of Tuesday has an 4mposing article by Lou Marsh questioning the selection of the Hus- kie II, of the Crescent Yacht Club, Watertown N.Y. as the L.Y.R.A. re- presentative in the Y.R.U. series the first week in September. Although the whole article is carefully guard- ed in that respect; it is plain to see that Lou is shocked, pained and sur- prised because a Toronto boat was not seleotetl. He mentions the case of Lillian E. and Nayada in the George cup trials and thereby re- minds yachismen that they aclually have mistakes in Toronto on ocoa- sion. The Huskie II won the George Cup series falrly and squarely and bas as much claim to the post for which she has been chosen as any other boat. " EX-MAYOR T. I. CHURCH, M.P.
