The pictureplay was adapted from the famous novel by Mary Roberts Rinehart, "K," which not only was read by many thousands of persons, but which, according to all evidence, is justly entitled to that well-known characterization, "a human document." And if this characterization fis true of the story, it is true of the screen ver- sion. It can be truly said for the picture that it follows the story closely, and accordingly, it appears to the writer of this review that the characterization in botn cases is a correct one. Virginia Valli, cast n the parf of Sidney Page, beautiful young wom- an, whose life has been passed' in a small town where she has be- come a social favorite of the young- er residents. The gradations she portrays, just one merging from girlhood, through realization of her ' growing maturity to one who, appar- ! ently, has tasted of the extreme bit- terness of disillusionment, are con- vincingly done. The part of "K."" silent and mys- terious stranger whose coming to the little town presages so much of vital import to the others lu the story, is finely handled by Percy Marmont. Margarita Fitscher as Carlotta Harrison, misguided, but devotedly in love with Dr. Max Wilson, portrayed by John Roche, and Maurice Ryan, Francis Feendy, are convincing. na BUCK JONES AT STRAND. In what will go down in motion picture annals as his very best pic- ture, Buck Jones, the popular west- ern star, will be seen at the Strand theatre today and Saturday. ~ This new release is called '"Thé Man Who Played Square" and it is described as 'a classic fa thrilling romantic melodrama," and, it is said to pro- vide the good-looking Buck with more opportunities for ingratiating acting, exciting fighting and darede~ vil riding than any of his previous pictures. It is a story of the most stirring days In the gold-mining country of Northern California. Kingston Clearing House.

The action of the management of the Canadian National Railway in hav. ing two electric lights placed at the le vel crossing at Cataraqui for the pur. pose of warning people of danger is very much appreciated by the travel- ling public. For years this crossing has been considered one of the most dangerous in the county, especially at night, , A few years ago the railway com- pany erected sign boards for the pur. pose of warning the travelling public. The company has now gone one far- ther and had strong electric lights placed on the boards which enables people to read the notice and take warning. It has been arranged that the elec tric current will be furnished by the Kingston Public Utilities commission and the lights will burn continuously, which saves the company the expense of having to pay a man to turn the lights on and off. The company rea- lized that there was always the chance of the lights not being turned on and for that reason they have a twenty- four hour service. THIS YOUNG MAN HAD VARIETY OF DRINKS Two Per Cent.
