MANTLE CLOCKS-- $17.00 to $25.00 When you should wear them you harm your eyes. But even that isn't all of it, nor the worst Jof it. Strained eyes have a bad habit of upsetting things gen- erally.

An exceptionally good photoplay is at the Grand Opera House for the balance of the week. It i "Loving Lies," a film story of the sea and pleased a large audience on its in- itlal appearance on Thursday night. The screen version is adapted from Peter B. Kynes, "The Harbor Bar," and for this reason it has attracted a great deal of attention. Evelyn Brent aud Monte Blue, two pop- ular screen artists; are featured in | the picture and the 'supporting cast | Is a strong one. The theme of the {story surrounds a husband, who / tells lies to his bride, in order to | save her from worrying. | Apart from the play itself, - the | scenes are wonderful. They are laid | { I on: the coast of California and greater portion of the play is given on board a schooner in order that the production might be given the touch that vis needed to make it 80 over big. Everybody loves a story of. the sea and in this production ome finds the most pleasant of any yet put on the screen. Monte Blue, who is al- | ways such a favorite with the movie fans, has the role of a sea captain and cargles off this part with hon- ors. Mohte Blue does not play the part; he lives the part, and in this connéction it 48 of interest to mote | that before going into the movies he served as a sailor, so this exper- fence gives him the ability to put the necessary "punch" into the part. Evelyn' Brent, the leading lady, is most charming and plays a difficult | role-in a most pleasing manner. {The story throughout holds inter: | est and the audience on Thursday | night was loud 'In its praise of the production. In addition to the feature picture |' the ever popular Ben Turpin is on the programme in "The Shriek of CHIME CLOCKS--- $40.00 to $85.00 Kinnear & d'Esterre JEWELERS, Princess Street, Kingston "The Gift Shop" BRICK, STONE, PLASTERING AND TILE SETTING DOUGLAS & McILQUHAM - CONTRACTORS : JOBBING WORK A SPECIALTY. .
