"The Love Test" is a play that does not meddle with the moral tap, nor call blushes to the cheek, but, which will warm the heart, make you leugh and perhaps weep a little, and is always assured a hearty welcome by the theatre-go- ing public. Bo it 1s small wonder "The Love Test," a dramatization of Arthur Chandler's notable maga- zine story, and which will be the of- day and Saturday, has been so cessful wherever it has béen pre- sented, for it is a play that will warm the heart of the most harden- ed amusement seeker. The story of "The Love Test" is told in three acts, which take place in "The Summit House," a hotel in 'a small Ohio town. The main plot centres about Molly Collins, an at- : tractive young girl, who owns the hotel, Tom Hudson, her sweetheart since childhood, and Mrs. Hudson, Tom's mother, a simple, kind-heart- ed old lady. Having a rural setting the play would not be complete without comedy of the same type, so it is supplied by Truman Buckmast- er, the village constable who also fills the positions of Baggage Maust- er, Ticket Agent and Carrier of the U. 8. Mail. The vill#nous touch is given by August Brenizer, the town magnate, who is forever trying to increase his holdings by means foul or fair. In this he is aided by his son Harold. George Spelvin, a finan- oler, gives the plot a touch of my- stery, and Florence Lee, a stranded chorus girl, has a love affair with "Freddie" Tryin, a produce of New York's East Side, who is a friend of Tom's and accidently drops in on the little drama that is being en- acted in the village. Florence and Freddie also have their share df comedy, and their original sayings and breezy expressions will be cherished and laughed over for many days to come. suc- "GINGHAM GIRL" COMING. The great success attained by the merry musical comedy, "The Ging- ham Girl," which comes to 'the Grand Opera House on Wednesday evening, Oct. 1st is due toythe fact that the piece has a delightful love story with wholesome humor, char- acters so lifelike that one in the audience often overhears somebody say, "Doesn't he or she remind you of so and 80," plus a melodious score that fits the plot to a nicety with just the proper jingle to send an audience away humming the tunes after the performance. It is reported from New York, where "The Gingham Girl," played for one solid year that the piece is one of those irresistible compositions, which some lucky producer uncovers Grand Wt. 2-3-4 MATS--FRL--SAT: Recover Sent Sale Tuesday * Ceeir, B.

There are six big dancing (features which enliven the perform- ance, executed by principals and the most sprightly singing and dancing girls in_theatredom. The cast is a notable oneNembracing the names of players seldom seen away from Broadway, and the production is on an elaborate scale. The spirit of youth permeates the entire perform- ance with the result that one leaves the theatre animated and gladdened for having witnessed it. YEMENITE JEWS IN "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS" | Players representing thirty Far! Eastern nationalities took part in| the making of the Bible themes in| Cecil De Mille's epic of "The Ten Commandments" which will be pre- sented at the Grand Opera House for three nights, commencing Thurs- day, Oct. 2nd, matinees Friday and Saturday. Among them two hundred and fifty Yemenite Jews from Pal- estine led the way in the crowds of the Exodus and the passage of the Red Sea. They sang thelr ancient hymns of the synogague as they made the journey, and many broke down and cried when they reached the waters of deliverance, so vividly did the scenes bring back the racial memories. De Mille staged the pro- duction on a stretch of desolute coast, and the miracle of the divided Sea was represented with extraord- inary realism. He had also built the Biblical city of Raameses, the Mount Sinai giving of the Law, and adapted a great natural amphitheatre for the big scene in which the Calf of! Gold is.wprshipped. Great was the wonder and admiration of the Or- ientals over the Mkenesses of Theo- dore Roberts as Moses and of Estelle Taylor as Miriam to what they con- ceived to be the ideal Lawgiver and prophetess, CAST CHOSEN FOR SUPERB PICTURE A cast selected absolutely for type was chosen for "The Covered Wagon," a James Cruze production for Paramount of the famous Em- erson Hough nove} ich will be on view at the Capitol theatre for three days starting 'Bhucades... frontier days, beautiful, big of soul and with the bravery and stamina that the wild experiences of the caravan times demanded. James Warren Kerrigan is seen as Will Banfon, the Intrepid leader whose sterling qualities win through in the face of impending disgrace and hold the heart of Molly despite the efforts of a rival to blacken his character. The rival, Sam Woodhull, is portrayed by Alan Hale, noted screen villain. Mr. Wingate is play- ed by Charles Ogle, noted member of Paramount Stock Company and Mrs. Wingate by Ethel Wales, who played Aunt Matilda in "The Old Homestead." Bill. Jackson, Jim Bridger and. Kit Carson, famous scouts, are intempreted by Ernest Torrence, Tully Marshall and Guy Oliver respectively while John Fox does the part of Jed Wingate, a boy. This is one of the most ambitious efforts of Paramount pictures-----and is expected to prove a pictorial his- torical document of immense value aside from a thrilMng tale of the days when the west was untamed and largely In the Bands of the red- skins. The picture was made in Utah and Nevada, and the preparations were epochal in their extent, as well as fidelity to the original charaéters, scenes, settings and properties used in the production. "THE GOLDFISH" --RIOT OF FUN, Comes once again Miss Constance Talmadge at her very best im the sort of comedy. that is ideally suited to her talents--comedy of the liveli- est description with plenty of op- portunity for the star's unusual tal- ents. We believe that "The Gold- fish," which opens at the Strand 'Fheatre, today, is the very best com. ody in which the star has appeared [for some time, one of the best she has ever made, ¢ "The Goldfish," which is a Firet National picture, was adepted from the Broadway stage success. Jack Mulhall is Constance's lead- ing man. Others having prominent roles in the cast are Jean Hérsholt, Za Su Pitts, Edward Connelly, Wil. liam Conklin, Nellie' Bly Baker, Leo White and Frank Elliott. Jailed For Stealing Rifle, Prescott, Sept. 24. --Frank Kerr, of Merrickville, appeared before Magistrate Adame at Prescott and to months in SRR SPORT QUEEN'S SQUAD GROWING: TWENTY-EIGHT OUT TODAY. The Queen's football squad is growing daily and this morning twenty-eight players answered the roll cal. And they were not a buach of scrubs, either, but a regu- lar list of the veterans and a bunch of fine-looking newcomers. Voss, the Riverdale Collegiate lad who worked out with Balmy Beach for a couple of weeks, seventeen years old, a good kicker a good catch and a shifty runner, looks like a find. With proper handling and us- ing patience himself he may be made into another Batston. Maingey, a lang rangy fellow is another backfiel: candidate and there are about a doz- fn more snappy looking players. "Pug" MeLeod wes on deck this morning and also Chantler, who turned in such a good performance with the second and third squads last evening. Roy Reynolds, in great shape, ap- peared in uniform this morning but he and "Red" McKelvey got to talk- ing things over in the line and were sent around the track for a little journey for not paying attention. Kicking to a backfield with wings | Boing down under every kick, breath- ing and setting up exercises and other light practice formed the work this morning and this afternoon the squadf will go hard at it again. Last night they all weat into training quarters in the former cafe- teria where they will sleep ana take their meals. They form 4g beautiful looking squad and many coaches in the country would give several perfectly good teeth to have as good. Hard On *"Dazsy." Although "Dazzy" Vance allowed but four hits in Brooklyn's loss to Chicago yesterday he was beaten 6-4. Grantham, Chicago third base- man collected two home rums, one of them with two men on bases from walks and another with none on. Hartnett, Cubs' catcher drove an- other homer in the tenth to win the game. Two walks and three home runs did the trick. Four hits in this game were better than the ten mark- ed up by Brooklyn, which included two two-sackers. Baltimore Beaten. In the first game of the Little World's Series at Waterbury, Conn., Baltimore lost to the Eastern League Champions, Waterbury, 5 to 1. Groves was erratic for the Birds while Rush pitched airtight ball for 'Waterbury. : Here They Are. This is the way the Ottawa Jour- nal sizes up the immediate rugby outlook: "Apparently the most evenly bal- anced races in some years are on tap in the Big Four and Intercol- legiate. From Montreal comes word that McGill will be fully fifty per cent. stronger than last year. There they argue that Queen's will be 26 per cent. weaker without Johnny Bvans, around whom most of their plays initiated, Varsity expects . to come back strong and have an ad- mirable chance with Jack Newton. George Awrey in a letter to' the writer, statés he has a strong and powerful team, of which he expects much. Awrey indulges in no cham- plonship talk, but - apparently be- lieves the Tigers are the team to beat. Argonauts have a squad to be reckoned with, and if practice counts the Winged Wheel have the cham- pionship won now. Ottawa hasn't said much, but they are working hard. Their immediate worry is that first game with Argos. They are go- ing to their utmost to win. If they do they may take a lot of beating." msi Not Profitable. The total gate of the Hussars- Wolfe Island game was a little over thirty dollars. The umpires cost $48.60 and the grounds, advertising, ete. were tacked on to that. In addi- tion to their own expenses the teams pald over ten dollars each for the privilege of playing. It's a great life for the intermediates.
