AMUSEMENTS What the Press About Agents flay COMING TO THE GRAND "So This is London" Comes Here Thursday. _ "So This is London," is an estab- lished success on both sides of the "big pond." In the English Metro- polis, it is being presented at the Prince of Wales Theatre, where it has settled down for a run that is sure to equal that of the New York Company, which ran for a solid year at the Hud. son Theatre. John Meehan, George M. Cohan's general stage director, returned re- cently from London," after having seen this comedy properly staged over there. Asked how our English cousins liked seeing themselves cari- catured, Meehan said,--*"They took to it like a duck--Oh! Yes, they like it You think you have heard them laugh at it over here, my, boys, it's a whisper compared to the way they received it over there. They sim- ply howled, commencing with the line in the first act where the American boy says to the English girl--My fa- ther thinks all Englishmen are either | | lords or butlers--one drinks tea all day, and the other brings it to him." That |. was the first laugh, but when a little later in the act, the American father says--"Il understand now why God made the Ocean so wide" that line knocked them for a row of goals my word how they did laugh." "So This is London" will be at the Grand for three nights commencing Thursday, Sept. 11th, with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. | RARE ENTERTAINMENT IN "THE WHITE MOTH" A motion picture of unusual strength and beauty is at the Capitol Theatre. It is Maurice Tourneur's "The White Moth," which opened to a capacity | house last night. Barbara La Marr as "The White Moth," a beautiful gay dancer of the Paris stage, at whose feet == | all men worship, reaches her greatest histrionic heights and was never more appealing. Conway Tearle, playing op- posite her as Robert Vantine, a young millionaire, who weds her solely to pre- vent her marriage to a younger broth- er, and who finds himself involved in a most singular romance, never gave the screen a finer characterization, The whole story is beautifully done and holds the interest from start to finish. Paris and its night life are depicted only as a true Frenchman could de- pict them, and the production from all standpoints is a signal triumph for Tourneur. The "Telephone Girl" scenes are getting more popular with tach episode, and the one showing to- day is the best yet. GREAT COMEDY AT STRAND. There is no lack of screen talent in the new Paramount picture, "Chang- ing Husbands" which is at the Strand Theatre today. Leatrice Joy in the fea. turéd role portrays a dual characteriza. tion; Victor Varconi, who was recent- ly seen in "Triumph," has a strong supporting art; Raymond - Griffith, ZaSu Pitts, Julia Faye, Helen Dunbdr and William Boyd, players are excellently cast. The pro- duction was co-directed by Frank Ur- son and Paul Iribe under the personal supervision of Cecil B. de Mille from Sada Cowan and Howard Higgin's adaptation of the Saturday Evening Post story, "Roles" by Elizabeth Alex. ander. RAIN AND MORE RAIN; KINGSTON IS VERY WET Fair Directors Say Weather / Man. Is Preparing for Big Show Next Week. The ban has been placed on popular song, "It Ain't Going Rain No More," as a result of wet spell in Kingston. Monday it raped and then on Tuesday it rained some more, and dear knows when Old Jupiter Pluvius is going to let up. Baseball schedules have been put out of 'business and as there are so many games to be arranged and . the sea- son is fast slipping away, the fans are wondering just how things will end. However, every dark cloud has its eflver lining, and it is hoped that the Weather Man will soon be on his good behavior. Tue directors of the Kingston fair state that the Wedth- er Man fis EE hs he the 'wet 'weather now so 30 that ra _ not in- forgery with the bg which the to the secured a very excellent speaker for its next meeting in the perdon of A. Hiyoock: Labor memes tr West bi g g i a¥sEd naff §N all well known LOCAL TEAMS ARE STRAIGHTENED OUT Circle-8ix Play fay Petes Satur day--Hussars Meet Island and Brockville. Kingston's two teams still left in the 0.B.A.A. running, 4th Hussars in the intermediate and Circle Six in the junior, have received definite or- ders from O.B.A.A. headquarters and must go through with them or lose out. President James Kane of 'the K. A.B.L. last night had a long tele- phone talk with Acting Secretary Walsh and as a result a telegram arrived this morning with the fol- lowing information: Peterboro Lakeviews meet King- ston Circle Six here on Saturday next. Peterboro must either come or lose out. The ympires will be ar- ranged by Bill Wylie, of Ottawa, and not by Jake Solomon. An O.B.AA. representative will be present. The telegram algo stated that Peterboro hag protested Buck, young right flelder and utility pitcher for Circle Six, on the ground that he had not played three games. How- ever, the local league is confident of being able to laugh at 'all protests. Buck is the youngest player in base- ball in eastern Ontario and it is ri- diculous that Peterboro, with its six- foot 'claiming twenty-year-olds"™ should start the protest stuff. Hussars' Orders. 4th Hussars have been ordered to complete their series with the Wolfe Island team, and if winners in two games, to meet Brockville here on Thursday and again at Brockville on Saturday next. The teams are to arrange the umpires. With the rain spoiling today's game, this means a big task for the Hussars, but it is felt that they can do it and that it is best to settle down and get the games over before next week when the exhibition will have the Fair Grounds. The Wolfe Island game will therefore be played on Wednesday at four o'clock, weather permitting, and if the Hussars win out they will meet Brockville here on Thursday. If Wolfe Island should win other arrangements will have to be made. It is unfortunate that Hussars should haye two games'ip quick suc- cession but it is the only solution to the problem and the fans will ap- preciate doing it up quickly and should give their best support. The upshot of the whole thing is that Jake Solomon will not tikely have anything more to do with the local teams and there is a strong possibility that, should the Kingston charges at Oshawa today De sustain ed, the wily Peterboro mmager 'will have some explanations to make to the O0.B.A.A. : ¢ Ladies At Golf in Napanee, A team of Kingston lady golfers motored to Napanee on Morday af- ternoon, to play a friendly - game with the Napanee ladies, The King- ston Jadies won 5 to 1.

Ready for the Big Concert at Grant Hall To-night. . The membérs ofthe celebrated Welsh choir arrived in the city to-day for the big concert to be given at Grant hall to-night, and were given a royal welcome by members of the Rotary Club and representative citiz- ens. Mr. Ernest Thomas, of 235 Nelson street, a former member of the choir, was among those who welcomed the members of the choir. At the present time he is engaged as a diver for Donnelly Wrecking Company. The visit of this Welsh choir has created a great deal of interest in the city and as it will, without doubt, be the best musical musical treat of the season, a bumper house is ex- pected. ed the Whig with figures on ifie rain-|. fall in Kingston since New Year's Day. The 'annhal average precipi- tation in Kingston is 31.68 inches 'and Queen's even keeps a record of the average rainfall every month. These statistics show that out of the eight months of 1924, five months have exceeded the average, August being the leader. March was unusu- 'ally dry.

PETER LEE, PROP, BOYS' SECRETARY : OF Y.M.C.A. RESIGNS Membership Drive in October --Assoclation Getting on Sound Financial Footing. At a largely attended meeting of the local Y.M.C.A., plans were made for a full programme of activities for the autumn and wiater, C. O. Chamberlain, the recently-appointed physical director, was introduced to the members. The resignation of S. T. Lilley, boys' secretary, was accepted with regret and the secretary instructed to write a letter of appreciation of Mr. Lilley's services, Mr. Cham- beriain and Mr, Harlow will carry on the work with hoys for the present. The report of the finance commit- tee showed that the outstanding ac- counts are gradually being wiped off and the association is once more getting on a sound financial footing. There is still approximately $2,000 in unpaid subscriptions which are collectable before the end of the cur- rent year. "The revenue from mem- berships, baths, rooms and other fea- tures are steadily increasing. A membership drive during the first week of October is now being arranged when it is hoped to inter- est a large number of men and boys in the up-to-date institutional fea-| tures which the association has to offer. The shower bath room and the plunge are to be re-painted and the whole apparatus overhauled in pre- paration for the fall work. The "Y" workers are confidently looking for« ward to an exceptionally good year. | At Queen's University There were several students at the college Tuesday forenoon to re- gister for the winter session, Bachelor of divinity examinations will be held on Sept. 18th to 23rd.

LOOK FOR BIGGEST FAIR EVER HELD HERE The Dog Show and Poultry Exhibit Promise to be Specially Interesting. R. J. Bushell, secretary-treasurer and: manager of the Kingston Indus- trial exhibition, has furnished the Whig with the following interesting news regarding next week's fair: The final efforts are being put forward towards the developmept of the Kingston Industrial Exhibition. The more the work is being contin- ued the more apparent thst an ex- hibition will be tendered our visi tors as one positively the best ever promoted in the annals of the city of Kingston. The dog show promises to excell anything ever attempted and under the able management of ex-Ald. W. A. Twigg, who has been reaching out, and 1 am pleased to say that ntany dogs from outside points will be on exhibition. The poultry entries are far ahead of last year, notwithstanding the fact that the Spring being so late we looked for a falling off, but I am also pleased to find that our antici pations were wrong and our efforts are being crowned with greater suc- cess than ever before. The poultry exhibits are under the able manage- ment of Benjamin Whitney, who is ably assisted by John Colclough, 124 Victoria street, city. Both these gent- lemen are experts in the poultry classes. Hon. W. F. Nickle must not be forgotten as one of the most prominent in assisting us in our endeavors, His interests are so keen that he has taken the mattef up with the minister of forests of the province, and the Kingston exhibi- tion will have on exhibition a dogen or more pheasants, which I under- stand is the purpose of the {orestry department to liberate at the ter- mination of the Kingston Industrial Exhibition, in order that the county of Frontenac and adjoining counties may be stocked with pheasants. It will be requested that parties out hunting will not destroy those birds while being re-established. When I, as manager, have such support as the foregoing, my duty demands that I lend my every effort to en- courage such support. In doing so, we are developing a greater and more beautiful Kingston. Let us all be loyal to our city and get together and make it bigger and better. En- tries are coming in from distant points such as New Brunswick, Man- itoba and Northern New York, show- ing conclusively that the old adage that the squeaking wheel meaning advertising and work, always gets the grease. ------------------ Fell on Steamer Toronto; Skull May Be Fractured James Spencer, Dunnville, an ems ployee of the steamer Toronto, is'in the General hospital in a semi-com- scious state, suffering from concus sion of the brain as the result of a fall on the steamer on Monday.
