An elaborate and up-to-the- | minute production, the employment of a capable cast, a pretty bevy of chorus girls and other original fea- tures should provide unusual enter- tainment.

HOPE and MANTION Presenting Xylophone Novelties HALL CAINE'S "ETERNAL CITY" In the garden of an Italian villa sat three persons--an elderly man, his daughter and his adopted son. The father was an idealistic pacifist, hating war with the depths of venom, and he had devoted his life to plan- ning ways and means of ending war- fare. His daughter was an ardent convert to his peaceful tendencies, and the youth also evinced enthus- iasm-on the subject of ending war. Suddenly the garden gate burst open and a servant dashed in with a newspaper, flarfng with large head- lines. Stunned, the trio read that war had been declared--ithat Italy "was calling to its sons to v6lunteer.

Word has been received heére to the effect that the men were at Ogdens- burg, N.Y., recently and the police and the immigration authorities at Kingston have been advised to keep sharp lookout for the men. A despatch from Prescott has the fol- lowing: "Gordon Simpson, alleged taurder- gr and member of the gang of des- peradoes who entered a bank at To- ronto and stole $35,000 last fall has been traced to Ogdensburg, N.Y. Thotias Bryans, a member of the group, is sald to have passed through that ¢ity three times in the last two weeks. Immigration officers an both sides of the line have been unsuc- cessful in securing information re- garding the wanted men, despite the fact that they are réported to have crossed to Prescott a number of times."
