AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." Tucked away somewhere in the of every | innermost consciousness man and womah is the memory of | Royal Canadian Yacht Club of To-! "Uncle | ronto can be taken as an indicator. | statement, slways looked forward to | Tom's Cabin' they ever saw. It was | company, | anxious to bring about another con-| fe first performance of | undoubtedly the Stetson | which is now making its fifty-fourth annual tour and which is announced to be the attraction at the Grand Opera House, for two days with dally matinee, commencing Friday, Novembdr 28th. How vividly, when one of the old recollections is recalled, does the memory of that great epochal per- iod come back? The days of prelim- inary expectation; heightened by 'the curiosity- arousing announcements; the early morning arising so you could beat your chum down to the theatre to be in time to lead one of the dogs in par- ade, thereby getting the document that would admit you to the still unknown world of wonders; how vividly one lives it all over again, what a glorious page it makes in the life story of days forever gone? Is it any wonder, then, that the coming of the Stetson company stirs the community to its foundations It is the oldest dramatic attraction touring on this continent: To the children it means the unfolding of new delights, while to those of ma- ture age it Is & promise of a re- newal of pleasure, of sight and sound that have long been forgot- ten. In addition there is too the educational side of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which appeals to instinct- ively to both 'young and old. "FEET OF CLAY" TODAY "Feet .of Clay," the new Cecil De Mille Paramount production at the Capitol Theatre today, and Wednesday is a modern story of the flapper grown to womanhood. Vera Reynolds plays a typical Miss 1924. Rod La Rocque, Vietor Varconi, Ricardo Cortez, Julia Faye, Theodore Kosloff and Robert Edéson are also featured in the cast. The picture is a screen version of the Ladiés' Home Journal serial by Mar- garetta Tuttle. Vera Reynolds, petite, charming, assured, has her first really big opportunity in this picture, and, just as DeMille believed she would when he first discovered her, she has done wonders with the part. Miss Rey- nolds, like the: other DeMille leading players who have since risen to the heights, is well on her way to great success--that is if her work in "Feet of Clay" is an example of what is to be expected from Paramount's new "find" in the future. When we tell you that in addition to the direction by De Mille, undoubtedly the greatest producer of them all, Norman B. Geddes, who stag- ed "The Miracle," the wonder play in New York City, supervised the con- stryction of sets for "Feet of Clay" you'll easily imagine just how big this picture is. "The Ten Commandments" kis the only 'thing De- Mille has done that can begin to measure up to this one. THE SEA HAWK. Truly a Great Picture. As a mark of courtesy to Frank Lloyd and particularly to First Nation. al Pictures, the management of the Ca- pitol-Theatré desires to express its sincere thanks for the privilege of pre- senting to' the Kingston Public a pic- ture that has been acknowledged by every one that has seen it as the great- est ever made. Seven weeks at the Re- gent theatre, "Toronto, at $1.50 prices thereby establishing a record that may never be equaled--can we give it any greater récommendation? Without attempting comparison with others--and with due regard to all the great photoplays of the past--we are satisfied that our position of truth in advertising will be maintained by pub. licity giving this picture the distinc- tion of being the most eloquent ex- pression of silent art we have ever been privileged to present--E. O. Smithies. "DANGEROUS MONEY" AT THE STRAND A thrilling story of modern life that sweeps you from New York's gay white way to the exotic south- jand in all ite romantic glamour. Such is "Dangerous Money" with Bébe Daniels and Tom Moore in the leading roles. It offers most unus- ual entertainment. Last time to-day. A SERVICE CLUB. Formed At Y. M. C. A~Similar to Rotary and Ki On Monday evening a nifmber of young business men met at the Y. M. C. A. and formed what is known as & "Sérvice Club" and will function in a manner similar to the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. It is not to be regarded as a competitor or rival but rather as a younger bro- ther of the older clubs. 3 Active, membership will be re- s.ricted to two representatives of each qualificition in business' and profession. At the meeting R. H. Ward, vice- : t of the Rotary Club spoke on the "Aim and Purpose of the Service Club." newspaper |[ SPORT | - ---- . | "OARA MIA" MENTIONED AS Canadian yachting is on the boom {if the semi-annual meeting of the The Rochester Yacht Club is very { test for the Canada's Cup. It has { not been in competition since 1907, i when the R.C.Y.C. challenge was L withdrawn because Rochester insist- led on bringing a boat temporarily | from salt water to defend it. The | Bay of Quinte yacht club is willing { to challenge for it:in 1925 with Cara Mia, owned by the Hill Bro- thers, of Kingston, these sailors be- longing to both the Kingston and Bay of Quinte clubs. The Cara Mia ! is, however, of American design and an effort will be made to produce an all-Canadian P Boat. The R. C. Y. C. report says more R boats are needed and recommends construction of dinghies in their own shops which may not be dupli- cated by competitors. It is likely that the Eastern Yacht club, of Marblehead. Mass, will sail at To- ronto during 19285. Sure Dominion Champions. Sneaking of the Queen's-Tiger game the Ottawa Journal says: "Queen's showed all that smooth- ness and finish which has made them one of the greatest machines in the bistory of Canadian fooball. | Though they have two gamed™ to play. they can be written down as Dominion champions."

The Frontenac Bowling and Re- creation Club, Ltd., has announced that in the near future, and on a date not yet fixed for certain, eleven of the most up-to-date bowling al- leys in Canada will be instaMed in the large building on Princess street formerly occupied by the T. F. Har- rison Company. Bowling has been given a great reception all over the country. In the larger cities we find fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers all following up this great game which is peculiarly adapted to city dwellers and offers exercise tp many undevel- oped and unused muscles. Mr. Karson has invested an outlay of $25,000 in these new alleys In Kingston as he says he feels that Kingston will at once adopt the sport and take to it spontaneously. The new alleys will offer accom- modation to ladies as well as gentle- men. Ladies' rest rooms will be pro- vided. In Toronto at the ladies' hours the big bowling academy's rooms for men will also be furnish- ed. The Club has announced the ap- pointment of "Paddy" Moran as manager, Queen's famous quarter- back in the days of 1908 needs no introduction here and the backers of the new enterprise are to be con- gratulated on securing his services.

The principal gain has been under the headings of government securi- ties and railway bonds and stocks, indicating that, dué to lessened com- mercial activity \ throughout the country, there has (been an endeavor to keep as much as possible of the Bank's funds continually employed.

The extension does not apply to Charleston Lake. Mr, Web- ster says the herrings and white fish are just now beginning to run. A Mix-up in Names. In ithe list of the men nominated for aldermen which appeared in the Whig last evening, the name of W. P. Peters, in Rideau ward, was men- tioned. This should have been Wil- liam Peters, popularly known as Capt. "Billy" Peters, one time ac- countant at the public utilities office. W. P. Peters is a candidate for re- election in St, Lawrence ward. Capt. Peters' friends are urging him to stand, and it is likely that he will do so. To Qualify To-night.

The candidates have until nine o'clock to fille their papers, Offered Ottawa Post.

Smaller Profits--dLarge Gain in Deposits. posits amounted to $636,869.521, us l against $579,066.783, a gain over $57,000,000 during the year. These figures 'indicate a substantial ine crease in savings accounts and it Is also probable that a portion of the large gain is accounted for by Gove ernment deposits that were being ac cumulated in anticipation of the pay ment of loans maturing on Nov, 1st, Total loans of $254,269,220 com< pare with $276,968,486 at the end of the previous year. The principal accounts in this classification are current loans and discounts in Can- ada, which now stand at $214,565,« 215, as against $236,656,924; and loans to cities, towns and mounicl palities of $15,432,780 in comparis son with last year's figures of $21,» 703,848. ' Net profits for the year, after de ducting charges of management and making full provision for all bad and doubtful debts, were $4,454,604, as compared with $4,496,416 for the previous year. The profits, added to the balance carried forward, brought the total amount available for distributing up to $5,114,086. This was distributed as follows: Re- gular dividends and bonus $3,815. 000; provision for taxes Dominion Government $412,600; reserve for bank premises, $125,000; leaving the amount to be carried forward to balance of Profit and Loss at the end of the year $761,686, as com- pared with $59:682.
