'Gives an lNiustrated Address | Before the Kiwanis Club on "Canada." | Capt. J. Milton State, official Jecturer for the Canadian National | Railways, was the speaker at the Ki- | wanis evening luncheon in the Fron | tenac Hotel on Monday. His sub- ject was "Canada, as seen from the Canadian National Railways" and { he illustrated the greater part of | his talk with motion picture films | and lantern slides. "After seeing Canada in all . ts | magnificent details from coast to | coast, I cannot see how any man who | calls himself a Canadian can seo | any room for pessimism," sald Cap- | tain State. He briefly sketched what | he was goingeia show his audience | by means of fllustrations and ex- plained the significance and histori- cal points of each place. On lantern slides were shown scenes at the Sydneys, at Perce Rock, along the Bay of Fundy, at old Quebec and other historical points made famous by John and CAPT. L. MILTON STATE oftiotal leoturer of Canadian National Railways, who addressed Kingston Ki- wanis Club. Sebastian Cabot, Jacques Oartier and Samuel de Champlain. There were also several "stills" in colors of animal life in the great forests and rivers along the line of the C. N. R. The first film "Where the Moose Run Loose" was a reproduction of a trip by canoe up the St. John and Miramichi rivers through the wilds | of northern New Brunswick, show- Jong the fine specimens of moose that haunt the woods in that wild coun- try and the beautiful lakes and rivers. The trip continued on up through the St. Lawrence gulf and river to Quebec, Montreal and Ot- tawa and them to the Highlands of Ontario that great playground which is becomjag more and more popular with the holiday seeker. Winter and summer scenes in this Canadian fairyland were shown, and the ho! 2 then proceeded to the w ihe. | even more beautiful north country, to Lake Temagami! and the Nipigon like and river, with thelr swirling rapids, beautiful forests, plenitude of game and the finest speckled trout in the world. Mere words could not do the pictures justice. Between films, Capt. State expiain- ed the details of the trip and de- scribed the scenes more fully than the substitles had allowed. On to Winnipeg. to old Fort Garry and and then to the | coast, to the greater western tri- angle surrounded by C. N. R. ser- vice, with Jasper Park as the apex and Prince Rupert and Vancouver or -- padian National lines run from Jasper Park to Vancouver and Prince Rupert and the last mention- ed ports are connected, through the protected Inland scenic passage- ways, by the Capadian National steamers. The scenery shown film beggars description. Lofty mountain peaks, awesome cliffs, rugeed canyons through which tumble the onrushing waters of great rivers, and then, on the coast, inlets and bays to rival the fiords of Norway and sunrises and sunsets without equal the world over. Capt. State was given a very hearty vote of thanks for his splen- did effort, with R. E. Burns propos- ing it, seconded by W. M. Nickle. Alfred E. derson, noted lect- urer and jou! ist, made a stirring appeal for support for the lecture in aid of the K. T. A. at Convocaton hall on Thursday night. He was also warmly applauded. Playgrounds, a Kiwanis carnival, a debate, and attendance wera among the matters discussed.

Of the Musical Capacity of Miss Jean Chown, Augustus Bridle, of the Toronto Star, when referring to a recital given by Miss Jean Chown, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Chown, Kings- ton, at the Margaret Eaton Hall, To- ronto, recently, had the following complimentary remarks to about Miss Chown: "Miss Jean Chown's song recital was select and beautiful. She opened with a group of old songs of the Gluck period, rare old long-iine, classic melodies done with much regard for beauty of form and pure legato, and with marked restraint tor a voice so opulent in color and so expensive in dynamic effects. Three other groups made up the vocal pro- gramme: Dvorak's 'Songs My Mother Taught Me,' fairly done, unsuited to her voice; Massenet's 'Twilight. sung with shadowy meszotints, and a song from Rimsky-K.'s opera, 'Snow-flakes," exquisitely renderdd, with perhaps a little too much tone. "These three were only half so lovely as the BSchubert-Schumann group, of which the 'Wanderer' was most dramatic, its only fault being a trifle t00 much tone in a féw pass- 'Stormy Morning' was splendor and . dramatic yet the two by Schumann finer; 'Sadneéss," a most ex- | § make | Now isthe Time | to Buy Real Estate We have just what you want.

Cornelius' 'Monotone' had but ome fault, not quite enough variety of tone color. I heard only the Welsh air of the last group, and that was almost as lovely as 'Sadness,' a dear old tender thing. "Miss Chown has a wonderful volce; pure contralto of smiting magnificence, true majésty, and a luxury of almost Oriental warmth and color; at times very temder, al- ways luscious and alluring, though in the top notes sometimes a Bit hazardous and tight. For vocalism "so {mpressively beautiful, the audi ence should have been twice as en thusiastic. Perhaps the singer is too modest." Assigned to Rans. Engiticer F. W.
