The offering at the Grand Opera House for this week, with a matines Wednesday and Saturday, of the Mae Edwards Players, presenting a programifie/of comedy and dramatic repertoire. The opening bill, "Adem and Eva," which ran for a solid year at the Longacre Theatre, New York, "will provide an entertainment for the patrons of the Grand that is well worth seeing. Pleasing in appear- ance, magnetic in personality, and brilliant in dramatic powers, is Miss Mae Edwards, who takes the stellar roles in the various plays which go to meke up the company's reper- toire. There is no doubt'in the world that Miss Edwards is one of the most talented and popular thea- trical artists in Canada, and the warm-hearted weloome and vigorous demonstrations of approval aecord- ed her recently at Brockville show- ed conclusively that the Brockville sudience- realized and appreciated her. The Mae Edwards Novelty Or- chestra is a special feature. This orchestra, individually and collect. ively, is one of the best novelty or- ganizations that has" been heard here. They play the latest dance sel- eotions in a thoroughly pleasing manner, and frequent encores are demanded. Seven vaudeville acts of high calibre, musical comedy num- bers and cabaret novelties which are introduced nightly come in for their share of the applause tendered by the audience. "THREE WOMEN" AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY How many tithes have we voiced our disappointment in the lack of dramatic situations? : Great dramafists have proved that there are thirty-six, but with a humble apology to these great men 'who have delved into the situation, 'We are about to reveal the presence of the thirtyeeventh! If you visit the Capitol Theatre to-day, Tuesday or Wednesday, the mystery will be solved in the presentation of Ernst Lubitsch's great production, "Three Women." "The Marriage Circle". re- vealed hfs philosophic understand- ing of human situations, but "Three Women" discloses his ability to con- struct new plots heretofore obscure. The story deals with the love af- fair of one man and three women, among them a mother and daughter, each of whom does not know of the other's intimacy with the man. May M¢Avoy, as the daughter, is charmingly captivating, while - Pau. Mine Frederick as the mother, and 'Marie Provost as the sweetheart, give Mr. Lubitecli perfect co-opeéra tion in the portrayal of their roles. The supporting cast in this Classic of the Screen Includes Lew Cody, as the attraétive villain, Plerre Gen- dron, Willard Louis and Mary Carr. It is truly a Classic of the Screen X Homans ! WHY FAIRBANKS "BAGDAD." PRODUCED There is a touch of the fantastic even in the reason I made "The Thief of Bagdad"--for it is a reason im- pelled by the unseen. It is a tribute to the fineness that I believe under- lies the workaday philosophy of men; a recognition of the inmer forces that helie tie sordidness of Life. There can be no doubt that the human soul's reaching for mer, higher, more etherea) things is intui- tive and first manifests itself in a child's love of fairy tales and fan- tasy. : The dreams, longings and roseate ambitions of childhood are relegated to the background of Dife by the of existen but stifling em doesn't kill them. They persist throughout the years. . There are moments when we all "dream dréams." Imagery is inherent in the human breast. The brave deeds, the long- ing for better things, the striving for finer thoughts, the pictures of ob- Stacles overcome and successes won Are nearer to our real selves than our daily grind of earthly "The Thiet of Bagded" ne I "Cigarette" Brown Arthur Brown, beiter known as "Cigarette Brown," serving 8 twenty-eight year term in Ports 'mbduth penitentiary, / has been pa roled and Teft the 'institution. Re- ference was made in the Whig a few days ago to the fact that he was likely to be paroled. Brown is the fast of the Stoney Mountain gang to leave the big prison at Portsmouth.
