Ont. AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents About Ti gents Bay GRIFFITH FURNISHES MANY LAUGHS IN "LORD CHUMLEY." Lord Algernon Cholomondeley-- That's an awful name for anyone to have to go through lite with and Raymond : Griffith couldn't even stand it for a motion pleture so he cut it short to Chumley for his char- acterization of a titled English gen- tieman in the mew ParamouUmt pic- ture, "Lord Chumley," 'due - at the Capitol on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Grifith {8 featured with Viola Dana and Theodore Roberts in the picture. . Some of the picture's biggest laughs--and greatest thrills for that matter--are contained in water scenes wherein Griffith puts over some great stuff in a speed boat. Here's where Ray's training as a sailor proved a big help. Grifith has long been the owner of a combina- tion sail and power yacht and his in- sight into nautical affairs is second only to that of old man Neptune himself. And when his horse, which he had just ridden over the steeplechase course, sits down on the edge of a fountain and Ray slides down his back and is soon playing among the swans and water lillies! Here's a real laugh! During the filming of the picture Ray leaped over furniture and stair railings during a single handed bat- tle against a band or crooks. He had to swim for his life while making scenes on the broad blue Pa- cific ocean, far from terra firma. In fact, he tumbled and fought and ran and jumped until he lost all of two pounds, quite a reduction for a young man whose normal weight is only 130 pounds. Cyril Chadwick, Willlam Boyd, Anna May Wong and others play in support of the principals. It will be noticed that this picture heralds back to the screen Theodore Roberts who has been ill since the death of Wally Reid. RICHARD DIX AT STRAND. Richard Dix has attained the heights--stardom. His first picture "Manhattan," will be shown at the Strand for the last time today. If its pell-mell action and a real he- man story with unusual heart-ap- peal you are looking for, why don't trouble yourself to look further. Here it is--plus! Combine all the hair-raising scenes of all thrillers you've ever seen, all the high spots of the funniest comedies you've ever enjoyed, and there you have "Manhattan." TAKING FINGER PRINTS GIVES YOUNG MEN SCARE A Couple Were Suspected of Breaking Into Some Sum- mer Oottages. The action of the provineial po- lice in taking the finger prints of a number of young men who were sus- pected. of breaking into summer homes in the back country has cer- tainly been the means of stopping damage being done to the cottages. Some time ago a cottage was smashed open and some goods tak.' en. Provincial Constable Machlachan was notified of the affair and im. mediately got busy, with the result that two men, who he suspected of knowing something about the mat- ter were brought to the city, and their finger prints taken. A pane of glass from the heme which had the finger prints on it was photographed and the finger prints were examined by an expert at Ottawa, with the re- sult that. it could not be . positively 'stated that the police had the right of| men, but it was the means of fright- ening the two suspected. $5,000 IN SIGHT. : For The Y.M.C.A. -- The Objective May Yet Be Reached. It was announced on Saturday morning that up until Friday even- ing $4249.50 had been subscribed to the Y.M.C.A. in connection with the Announcement . MIGNON TELGMANN. = Augmenting her Vielin Class. Tt is understood on the ; that the French pr financial campaign which has been under way for the past four days. The canvassers reported that an. other $800 was certain of coming in during Saturday, and for that rea son it was decided that the cam- paign would be continued until Mon- day evening, when a gathering will be held at the "Y." and the reports will be made. A number of citizens who have always contributed toward the support of the association are out of the city, and many people have not yet been called upon, #o it is quite hopeful that the objective of $8,000 will yet be obtained. screen JARVIS PAYS $140,000 Toronto, March 7.--$140,- 000 has been paid in by Aemil- ins Jarvis on the fine of $600,- 000 imposed jointly on him and Peter Smith, it was announced by the attorney-general's de- furtuest SPORT ) BOWLING Subba Bowling games played in the Bu- siness Men's League on Friday night at the College Inn 'Bowling Aca- demy resulted as follows: Bell Telephone--Knapp, 568; Daugherty, 6549; Paradis, 474; Schetagne, 390; Worden, 350.

By a score of 26-23, the Y.M.C.A. 5-9 Club defeated Brockville here Friday night in an exhibition bas- ketball game. It was one of the roughest games of tne season and the visitors threw in the odd trip now and then. There was plenty of excitement for the crowd. Hutche- Irish Team Won. The burlesque hockey match stag- ed between Queen's Irishmen and Queen's Scotchmen on Friday after- noon resulted in a win for the for- mer by the close score of 4-3. It is still claimed by the Scoteh clan that the Irish referee stole thé game on them but the Green Shirts set a "dizzy" pace despite the argument over the official. The role of r=f3ree was taken by Pep' Leadley of football fame, not hockey on a bi- cycle, and after the game the Scotch, highly incensed at being "trimmed," were seen going around trying to find out if ha had any 'Irish blood in his veins. A large crowd witness- ed the fun. WITH THE KIWANIANS. Dr. James Miller to Give an Address on "Cancer."
