AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions PLAY NOW | GREAT FILM DRAMA | Once more a well-beloved and suc- | POPULAR | cesetul stage play has increased its | | popularity im its translation to the) screen, "The Man Who Came Back," {which began a three days' run at the | Capitol Theatre yesterday and was | well liked by those who attended the | opening performance. There is /no question of its high ententaining value, and a capable cast, headed by smiMng George O'Brien and Dorothy Mackaill.. The leading players are given excellent support by Ralph Lewis, Cyril Chadwick and other able screen favorites. "Tbe Man Who Came Back" Te- lates a few crowded months in the Tite of young Potter, son of an in- dulgent millionaire father. O'Brien appears as the son and gives am in- teresting portrayal of a jazz-crazy ne'er-do-well early in the peiture. He sends the boy to San Francisco to work in a shipyard but the youth, for spite, allowed himself to sink lower and lower until he finally reaches the very bottom in a Shang- hai dive. Then he attempts to rise from the mire and there is hope that he has rehabilitated himself in Ha- wail. There is a splendid thrill as well as a surpnise in the closing twist. "The Mam Who Came Back" is well worth anybody's seeing. "MAYTIME." The screen version of the great stage-play, "Maytime," closes at the Strand Theatre to-day, with Harri- son Fond and Clara Bow in the lead- ing roles. The great success en- joyed by the stage play has been du- plicated by the pigture, which offers rare entertainment.

Rock Island ---------------- | SPORT Il NOT OVER 'CONFIDENT " Coach Hughes Speaks About Queen's and Hamilton. The Toronto Globe says: -- Coach Bill Hughes of Queen's, who was here yesterday with the interme- diates, is mot claiming 'that the Tri- Color will have any easy task dispos- ing of the Bengals. Hughes is not ex- actly satisfied with the way his team has performed in some of the games, but he thinks the champions will show their best form of the season when fac- ing the Interprovinci@l Union titlehol- ders. Those close to the Queen's play- ers say that they were over-confident when they played against University of Toronto, and that they were fortun- ate to escape defeat, Hughes plans to see that this does not occur again. Opinion is divided as to the out- come of the game. Tigers have plenty of supporters who think that thev are strong enough to defeat the Canadian champions. Along the wing-line Tig- ers appear to have the advantage, and in Johnny Evans they have the smart- er quarterback, and this is no reflec- tion on the ability of Baldwin. The latter was second string pivot man to Evans at Queen's for two years, aad even the Kingston fans will admit that Evans, being the more canny and ex- perienced man, is the better of the two. Tigers' outside wings will have a harder task than will Thomas and Wright, and the game may be decided right there. Tigers have no player, not even Main, approaching the class of the great "Bud" Thomas. "Cap" Fear of the Argonauts is the only outside wing in Canada capable of giving Tho. mas a brush for the honors. The Tiger backfield men will be downed in their tracks by the hard tackling Thomas, the man who has never failed to shine even when players like Lionel Con- acher and Warren Snyder, are oppos- ing him. They all look alike to the idol of Ottawa. "Liz" Walker and Dr. Weaver will likely be Tigers' outsides, with Mac- farlane as relief man. "Pete" Burton will get plenty of work, however, and he appears to be the only Tiger cap- able of outguessing the Leadley-Bat- stone combination. Burton looms up as the Bengals' hope in the big battle of the year. Officials Agreed Upon. "Hal" DeGruchy of Toronto will ge- feree the Eastern semi-final between Queen's University and Hamilton Tig- ers here next Satugday, "Flin" Flana- gan of Montreal fill be his assistant, and thus positions have been reversed, as Flanagan was referee in the Tiger- Argonaut game at Hamilton and De- Gruchy was umpire. Jack O'Connor of Argonauts will be the head linesman. The clubs agreed on these officials, and they are Interprovincial Union men, DeGruchy and Flanagan being officials and O'Connor coach of the Argonauts. The clubs also agreed on Professor Jolliffe of Queen's University and Dr. W. C. Thompson of the Tigers as time-keepers. The rest of the officials were appointed by the Canadian Un- ion, and they are as follows: Penalty timekeeper, Dr. John Mec- Callum of Toronto; yard stick men, Bob Isbister, Hamilton, and Jim Campbell, Kingston; line judges, War- ren Snyder, University of Toronto, and Joe Breen, Argonauts.

He stated that the tickets for the game were picked up like hot cakes and the authorities were make spec- ial arrangements for standing room. | tickets, The eighteen hundred which were sent to Queen's Univer sity on Monday morning, found a! ready market, and Mr. McDowbli brought ag additional two hundred and ninety-one tickets back with him. Mr. MacDonell stated at nine o'- clock on Tuesday mornihg all the seats for the covered stands had been sold out but there were still a few seats In the bleachers. It is estimated that about five or six hundred students will go to To- ronto for the game. Many will go by train, but others are making ar- rangements to mobor. W. P, Hughes, coach of Queen's who was in Toronto on Monday with the intermediate team which was suocessful in defeating St. Michaels, returned to the city on Tuesday morning. He stated that the team would have f%o or three real hard practices before leaving for To- ronto on Friday noon. He said that all the players with the exception of "Jack'* McKelvey were in good con- dition, To Play For Dominion Honors, The members of Queen's inter- mediate rugby team which was suc- cessful in defeating St. Michael's in the final game of the Intercollegiate union in Toronto on Monday, anc winning the Intercollegiate cham- plonship, returned to the olty on Tuesday morning. The players were delighted with the showing they made in Toronto and intend to go after the Dominion homors. The Queen's men feel that in view of the fact that at the present time the Dominion championship is held by the cadets of the Royal Military College who were eliminated b Queen's, the trophy should stay in Kingston and they will do their ut- most to win it for their Alma Mater.

Ottawa, Nov! 18.--At the request of officials of the G.W.V.A, disputes over certain cases between the Fed- eral Appeal Board and the Board of Pension Commissioners were refer- red to the Department of Justice.

The Department of Justice has ruled that the Federal Appeal] Board has such jurisdiction. Cannot Reverse It. 2. Whether the Federal Appeal Board has jurisdiction to reverse a decision of the Boara of Pension Commissioners discontinuing pen- sion on the grounds that aggrava- tion during service had ceased. The Department of Justice has ruled that the Federal Appeal Board has no jurisdiction. 8. Whether the Federal Appeal Board has jurisdiction to reverse a decision of the Board of Pension Commissioners refusing pendion In full (and awarding pension for ag- gravation during service only) on the grounds that the disability at the time of enlistment was obvious or was wilfully concealed or was a congenital defect. The Department of Justice has ruled that the Federal Appeal Board has uno, jurisdiction. Case of Misconduct. 4.

Toronto, Nov. 18.--The home of General V. A. 85. Wil. Hams, commissioner of the One tario provincial police, 161 Spadina Road, has been the mark for a hand-grenade bomb, and city and provincial police admitted last night that they are puzzled. General Willlams, when aske ed for details, pleaded to be excused from giving any ianfor-. . mation, as it might interfere with an investigation under way to determine what connec tion the incident may have with the announced intention of the Commissioner to make the On- tario Temperance Act a medter of serious business for those who engage in the bootlegging business. Friday and Saturday of last week General Williams headed a conference of the provincial police Inspectors and O.T.A. enforcement officers at the parliament bull@®ings, when it was decided to put on more men, use more motorcycles and better motor cars; In short, vigorously to attack the boot. legging gangs operating in this province. General Williams was in his home when he heard the report of an explosion, and on going out into the yand found un- mistakeable evidence of the throwing of a hand-grenade bomb. 1
