EMOTIONAL PICTURE { Undoubtedly the outstanding | quality of "The Net," the drama of | mystery and thrills produced by William Fox is its tremendous dra- matic strength. This emotional drama which was adapted fromr the suecessful play by Maravene Thomp- son, will be shown at the Allen | theatre, starting to-day. In book form the story was known as 'The Woman's Law" and was then adapt- ed for the stage by Miss Thompson. One of the handsomest settings shows the interior and exterior of a wealthy artist's studio which has been remodeled from an old church. Through a novel arrangement of six different styles of architecture the lofty interior has been changed into a harmonius picture. Moorish col- umns beautifully contrast with Greek and [Italian decorations; the walls being hung with valuable paintings and tapestries. Sudden enveloping tragedy in this room throws the net of circum- stances about a young mother and forces her to choose between cast- ing the shadow of crime over her child or of condemning an innocent man to prison for life. Your Interest will be firmly held until the very last scene flickérs from the screen as this tangle in three human lives i straightened out. Barbara Casleton, Raymond Bloomer and Albert Roscoe are the principals in the most dramatic version of the oft-repeated and familiar triangle which is present- ed here from a new angle, WELL KNOWN PLAYERS CHOSEN FOR THE PARTS. Some of the. most talented and f widely known players on the screen j appear in Paramognt's new picture, "Salomy Jane," a George Melford production based on the famous story by Bret Harte, which will be the feature atthe Strand Theatre for three days, beginning today. Jacqueline Logan, a former Fol- lies girl, plays the name role. Her love of the great out-of-doors par- ticularly adapted her for this photo- play of pioneer life in California in the days of 49. Many human touches of quaint humor se woven into the fabric of this romantic screen play by George Fawcett, who plays the role of "Yuba Bill," a stage-coach driver. The action is swift from start to finish. The supporting cast is ex- cellent and includes such favorites as Charles .Ogle, Louise Dresser, James Neill and Clarence Burton. Queen's vs. Re The management 'of the Alien theatre has been fortunate In se- curing for showing, starting ay, the pictures of the Dominion Foot- ball final game between Queen's and Regina, taken at Toronto last Saturday. It is an excellent picture showing the game from start to finish and everybody will want to see how Queen's trounc:d Regina to the tune of 54-0.

When the World War Imposed its hardships--hardships which post- war conditions have not materially alleviated, upon so many musicians, artists and playér-folk resident in England, means of coming to their relief were formulated by their more fortunate colleagues and ulti- mately took tangible form in the organization of the "Three Arts," so called. It was decided to open a workshop where some commercial commodity could be made by hand and where destitute professionals could find the me : of self support. But what to ?. That was the question. And :n came the in- spiration. Any woman could make a doll--and clothe it too! It didn't require.thé skill of a wardrobe mis- tress. Not even that of a plain seamstress. And there was the model right at hand. It was merely a rag doll--one which Dame Clara had carried as a mascot on her con- cert tours. The idea found instant favor. A workroom was established and the manufacture, in its strictly Latin sense, of the now famous Cuddley Dolls was begun. The work enlist- ed wide-spread interest especially in professional cirtles and in & short time the little industry had grown to mammoth proportions. In the workroom the doll-makers receive two substantial meals each day and earn enough from the sale of the wares to maintain their lodg- ings and provide other necessities. Because of the recggnized part the members of these professions played during the war and in the recon- struction period that followed this particular charity found ready pub- lic response and is to-day attracting Hoary popular interest thad at any time since its organization. Of course, Dame Clara has kept the original model for the Cuddley Dolls and as a mascot 'she regards it with higher favor than ever. Na- turally the famous mascot of the famous contralto will hold a place of honor in her entourage during her present transcontinental tour through the Dominion, in which she comes here to Grant Hall, tomorrow evening. and conference.

A deputation from. the Kingstom utilities commission was in Toronto on Wednesddy to present an applica the power supply as the basis of a.cone tract between the commission and certain large patroms, but Sir Adam Beck stated that he was not able to give any assurance at the pres- ent time that such additional power would be avallable before the de- velopment of the Si. Lawrence. This, however, does not refer to Kings ston's present supply from the Trent system and the percentage allotted on the basis of her present consamp- tion. It is apparent, however, that East- ern Ontario must not expect a mir- acle to be performed in the distri- bution of power from the Trent, which is limited, but must look to the development of the St. Law. rence as the only solution of the: TE A
