TRUMPOUR _ THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG AMUSEMENTS _ What the Press Agents Say About Comuing Attractions Musical Show To-Morrow. Gorgeous costumes, smart ensem- les, pretty girls, good singing and i graceful and speedy dancing form the throes of hysteria, Some twen- i ty "Sassy Bits of 1924" which is the attraction scheduled to appear at the Grand on Thursday, Feb. 7th. It is said to be a rare combination of {| melody and laughter with an up to | | the minute company of funny com- | edians, singers and dancers. One of the big features of-the offering is a | tascinating chorus of young misses who wear stunning gowns with be- { coming grace and charm. There are {two acts and ten scenes and the | story takes you from New York City | on a yachting trip through the West | Indies, Spain, Japan and the Ori- | ent. Of course, there is a delight- | ful love story and a wealth of mirth | provoking comedy that would drive | the most blase thearte goers into | the throes of hysteria. Some twen- | ty tuneful and lilting musical num- | bers have been contributed, and two ; and one-half hours of enjoyment is | promised by the management. | vin COVERED WAGON" | COMING TO THE GRAND, The violinists in the orchestra that { will be at the Grand Opera House for | four days commencing Feb. 13th, { have discovered in "The Covered Wagon" a member of their own craft, whose name they do not know; whose violin gives forth no sound, | but whose technique is according to | these critical observers, well nigh fauitless, This silent violinist is the pioneer woman, in the picture, | who stands heside the grave of one {of the women of the wagon train, | and plays the familiar setting of | Cardinal Newman's hymn, 'Lead, | Kindly Light." The'episode is one of | the most touching in Emerson Hough's narrative, and in the pictu- S.rization the moment is a peculiarly | affecting one, To the average spec- tator the woman who plays the vio- | lin appears, naturally, to be merely | one of the group of ordinary people | of the wagon train, but the men of { the orchestra very | the fact that the woman who. played | the part was a v'olinist of. fine train- The programme gives | quickly noted ing and skill. no hint of her identity, and consider- ing the vast number of people who were concerned in the making of the picture, it would be almost impos- sible, at this time, to find out who the unknown musician may be. Her performance has already been wit- nessed, though not heard, by hun- dreds of thousands of persons, and among them have doubtless been many musicians . who, like the or- chestra men with "The Covered Wa- gon,' have noted and admired the fine technique of this unknown gen- fus of the screen. JACKIE COOGAN COMES IN "LONG LIVE THE KING." Even without {its star, "Long Live the King" would rank high as a cinematic achievement. With Jackie Coogan, it achieves distineé- tion as a film masterpiece. No characterization, which Jackie has created heretofore has fitted him so completely as the role of Crown Prince of Lavonia. Fer- dinand Willlam Otto {n the story, and as Jackie portrays him in the picture, is all boy. Every emotion --of joy, of sadness, of puzzle- ment, of wistful desire, and of juvenile mischievousness, to which the normal eight-year-old is. heir, is to be found in Jackie's portrayal. His trials are those of any adven- turous lad under the discipline which falls to the lot of youth in high station; his woes are those of any lad orphaned and barred by conventions from free companion- ship with other boys; his joys are those of any boy temporarily re- leased from kindly, yet omnipresent tutelage; his happiness is that of any youngster over the acquisition of new playthings or the consum- mation of other childish wishes. In short, the Crown Prince of Lavonia, despite his rank and title, is the boy who is yours in your dreams of parenthood, or . when you are his own age, is your ideal companion, and Jackie, in por- traying the Crown Prince, makes you feel that he is that dream boy in the flesh, : Final Showing To-Night. To-night will be the last oppor- tunity you will have of seeing John M. Stalil's sensational drama, '"The Wanters," which has been playing to crowded houses 'at the Strand Theatre. A picture of the jasz-mad age of modern soclety, containing more than a usual degree of enter tainment, and enacted by a cast of stars including Marie Prevost and Little Richard Headrick?

Borden, recently elected chancellor of Queen's Uni- versity, has written the following | [letter to Dr. R. Bruce Taylor, prin- | | cipal: "Character and purpose are much {more important thar. numbers; there | je no reason to aim at an overgrown | university. .I should lke to see] Queen's develop as a real university | of the liberal arts, possessing at tiie} same time distinctively 'Canadian characteristics. One need not min- | imize the usefulness of applied scl- | ence, technical education and in- struction in agriculture in these days when material 'considerations weigh so heavily upon the souls of | men. - But it is well, still more it is necessary that our youth should lis- ten to voices which proclaim that these considerations are neither ab- solute nor paramount in the life of a nation." i -- The members of the Science At Home Committee were very busy this morning preparing for their dance tonight.

Expects to Have a Proposition to Place Before Council Wednesday, The hotel committee of the city council held a meeting Wednesday morning with Mr. O'Neill, of the United Hotels Company, Toronto, and considered his proposition care- fully from all angles. They are re- ported to be very favorable towards it, and in the afternoon went into session with Mr. Jewett, the repre- sentative of the Stevens Construction Company, who came here from New York. . ? The Kingston committee members consider the proposition of the Uni- {ted Hotels Company one of the best and if the afternoon meeting with Mr. Jewett is of a satisfactory na- ture, they expect to shortly have a proposition to place before the coun- cil. The United Hotels Company operates such well-known hostelries as the King Edward, of Toronto, the Royal Connaught, of Hamilton, and the Mount Royal, of Montreal, be- sides many others in the larger citfes of the United States and Canada.
