Many were written but a few lasted, but "The Lure" is as popular today as when first produced and remains the best play of its type ever written. Mr. Lindsay E. Perrin manager of this po- pular company has secured the sole producing rights for Canada and has given it a pretentious mounting. The popular little star, Arlie Marks, has another part which widely at vagiance with any she has appeared in'during the eompany's engagement is one fo which she is perfectly fitted and as Molly Crane, the little lost sister she brings a world of sympathy and cmo- tion undreamed of by those who have seen her only in comedy roles. "The Lure," is more than a play it is an edu- cation of that part of life with which few in the smaller cities are familiar. Every member of the cast has an ex- ceptionally good role and the company will undoubtedly score heavily in this play. Entirely new vaudeville will be presented between the acts. ODD TWISTS IN NEW PHOTOPLAY Perfect Acting by Irene Rich and Monte Blue in "Flam= ing Passion." We don't know who Kathleen Norris had in mind when she describ- ed the characters of Lucretia Lom- bard and Stephen Winship in her re- cent best seller, "Flaming Passion" who they were that inspired her to write that wonderful story, but it seems to us that the story was woven around | and especially for Irene Rich as Lucre- tia and Monte Blue as Stephen. The picture opens at the Capitol thea tre Monday for three days and takes the remarkable word pictures of the author and infuses them with life and animation, with its vivid scenes of the outdoors, the story with its upusual twist, and the inimitable characteriza- tion of the players. It is a picture that everyone will enjoy immensely and we recommend it without reserve. In a series of scenes showing a forest fire in the Catskills, a great conflagra- tion, so realistic and vivid that one can almost smell the pungent smoke as it rises 'from the green leaves and hear the hissing and crackling as the fire spreads and spreads, the spectator wat- ches the-heroic and self-sacrificing ef- forts of a woman, Lucretia, to save an- other, her rival in love, Mimi The story is one of self-sacrifice and filial devo- tion. A beautiful young girl marries a man much older than she, whom she could never love, but it pleases the mo- ther and satisfies her ambitions for her daughter to marry a title. A young man, the serious, ambitious, and conscientious district attorney marries a girl he does not love, but he satisfies the dying wish of his father. After seven years of bondage the first woman, Lucretia Lombard, is freed by the death of her husband from an overdose of an opiate. Then she meets the young district attorney, Ste- phen Winship, and they immediately know that they love each other, But Stephen is married to Mimi. i Supporting Monte Blue and Irene li] Rich are Marc McDermott, Alec B. Francis. "THE HUNOCHBAOCK OF NOTRE DAME" Coming to Kingston Four Days of Next Week.

Miss Dana calls it the best picture she has ever made and that statement has aroused the highest delights of anti- cipation among the followers of this tiny, vivacious comedienne. ' And 'this photoplay can well be awaited with keen interest because, according to advance reports, it is the highest type of wholesome, rol- licking comedy, spiced with drama- tic thrills and surprises. The story is concerned with a girl who "borrowed" jewels, furs and a limousine (without the knowledge, of the "'lenders") in order to meet an old sweetheart on his own level Mary even told Fred that she was the wife of the richest man in town. So when her "borrowed" limousine is wrecked, Fred naturally takes her to her' "husband's" home. That's only the beginning of a series of amusing and surprising complica- tions. And the methods Mary uses to untangle herself are screamingly funny, -- LOCAL NEWS ITENS Brief Items of Jaterest Plcked Up by the Whig Ree . porters.
