The Originals, that briMiant | groupe of soldier funmakers, who have with them many of the original Dum- | bells, will be back in Kingston on | Friday and Saturday at the Grand Opera House, with their latest and big gest fun show "Stepping Out," head- ed by those ever popular favorites, Gene Peatson "The Male Gall Curci," and "Bob" Anderson, Canada's clgv- erest character comedian, a native of Lancashire, with Alan Murray; Leo- {nard Young (The Duchess), Bertram | Langley, Jerry Brayford, ete. The company, as before, is under the man- agement of Perey Campbell, and dir- ected by Leonard Young. "Stepping Out" opens up with a re- union of the officers of the Battery and from the time Boh Anderson en. ters as John Willie Shufflebottom, the piece is one continuous roar. Gene Pearson plays the role of Madame Helena, an 'opera singer, and is the most convincing operatic star we have seen for many a long day. "Her" singing of "Love Will Come Back," is % treat and his gowns are a delight to thé eye. There are two acts and four scenes in "Stepping Out," all of them uniformly clever and suitably staged and lighted. Till "The Originals" come again with fresh tunes and new laughter their performance of "Stepping Out" will be remembered by all who wit- ness it as a scream from start to fin- ish. To let the audience get a fresh hold on its shaking sides, a few ser- ious numbers such as the "Sotdier's Monument" and two or three musi- cal classics are brought into the pro- gramme for diversion, but for the most { part the dozen performers, comedians, {all, are mérciless. The seat sale is now open at the box office. | | SHAW'S "SAINT JOAN" AT GRAND APRIL 23 Kingston Theatregoers are to have the rire privilege of witnessing Geo. Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan," which B. C. Whitney will present at the Grand Opera House, Wednesday, April 23nd, matinee and night. Like those of her dramas, with which it is worthy to rank, "Saint Joan" will be read with pleasure by the student and the lover of dramatic literature for its own sake. It is a play that will live be- cause in it the author escaped from the trammels of the purely local and per. sonal aspects of his theme and has in. fused it with those universal and time- less qualities that mark all great dra- mas. He deals'with the etérnal verities and the primal emotions--the human groping after the divine, patriotism, self-interest, courage' and fear, and the faith that conquers death. He ignores the letter of history to capture its spi- rit, and portrays the protagonist of the play and her friends and/enemies, not as they appeared to themselves and each other, but as they really prov ed in the light of the reactions and consequences of their actions and words. He has painted an unforgett- able picture of the Maid of Orleans, and, as played by Miss Julia Arthur, the portrait takes on the animation, the sentience and the reality of life, and is by right inscribed in theatri. cal annals as one of the most noble and inspiring realizations of a rote which the stage has ever seen. No man or woman holding the finer graces of life in due regard can afford to let "Saint Joan" depart without doing it homage. ' MIX CAPS ANOTHER CLIMAX IN PHOTODRAMA Every artist has his masterpiece. There is an apex in all our careers when we reach or attain the best that is in us. The same rule holds true among motion picture stars. Like the gest of us mortals they have their limi- tations. But every rule has its exceptions. For years the public, the exhibitors .| and the dramatic critics have been say- "so-and.g0" is Tom Mix' best ; It is the apex of his career; it be unfair to expect one man to another such film, ete. But every new Mix production seés Same pedhle Sating Hise words repeating them. om Mix goes making bigger and better pictures. the current season's produc- tions by"this star if you want exam. . Mix started the season with e Last of the Duanes," from one Zane Grey's stories. It was hailed lic and critic alike as the great- estern photo-play ever ed. was "Teeth," and progresses through what seems a hopeless course A sweet little girl from Boston, played by Doris May, cultured and re- fined, and a Western outlaw with a price on his head. Bringing them to- gether seems an imposstble task. But it is done in an amazing manner. Mr. MuMord is without a superior for weav ing plots that don't insult our sense of logic and in "The Orphan™ he ex- teided his imagination to the break- ing point with exceptionally good re- sults. ) "The Deadwood Coach will open at the Capitol Theatre for a run of three days beginning Thursday. "MARRIED TO A MORMON." "Married to a Mormon," the fea- ture attraction at the Strand to-day and to-morrow, promises to be one of unusual merit, if a good story, first class direction and the capable work of an excéllent cast be taken into consideration. The story is one of unusual dramatic power and is enacted by a stellar cast headed by Evelyn Brent and Olive Brooks, an English actor rapidly coming to the fore in Hollywood movie circles. IM MARINE CIRCLES The Canadian government steam- er Scout has started the placing of buoys in the St. Lawrence river pre- paratory to the opening of naviga- tion. Although to-day was the fifteenth of April and opening day for navi- gation, it was not expected that any beats in the local harbor would leave to-day. Some will not leave before next week. i HEARD ON THE STREET Local Briefs Gathered by Re- porters--What the Merch- ants Are Offering. Mr. Swaine, piano tuner.

ONTARIO NURSES PROTEST Against Training Schools Employing Pupil Nurses For Fee. London, Ont., April 18.--Miss B. Dickson of Toronto was elected to the presidency of the Ontario Gradu- ate Nurses' Association, which at its concluding session last evening changed its name to the Ontario Registered Nurses' Association and arranged to hold the next meeting in Belleville. The convention, after a discussion of unemployment conditions among private duty nurses, passed a reso- lution "that the inspector of train- ing schools bé adviséd that certain training schools are known to em- ploy pupil nurses for special duty in violation of regulations and col- lect a fee, whent graduates are avall- able?' Other resolutions were adopted, calling upon the provincial fire mar- shal to institute fire drill in hos- pitals and training schools, and pre- testing against continuance of the practice of providing cots for nurses in patients' rooms, thus keeping the nurse on duty 20 hours a day. Kingston @irl To Take Part in Radio Programme It will be of interest to Kingsto- nians to know that a Kingston young lady, Goldie Bartels Geiger, daughter of Mr. Oscar Bartels, city treasurer, will take part in a pro- gramms to be broadcasted tonight from Station C.H.Y.C. at Montreal.

Thirteen bold Kiwanians motored up to Belleville on Tuesday after- noon to bowl against the Belleville club. They report that they had a very good time, which is a gentle way of saying that Kingston did not win. At Belleville a bazaar was in pro- gress at St. Michael's Academy and the Kiwanians had Supper there, with excellent club singing and an address hy the president of the Pe- terbore club. It was announced that the annual charter presenta- tion night of the Belleville club would be celebrated on Friday, May 15th, and an invitation was extended to the members from Kingston to come in force. Mr. Blake Halladay, governor of the Ontario and Quebec Kiwanis district, is to speak. After the dinner the teams went down to the bowling alleys, and seme good games were enjoyed, with Belleville getting somewhat the better of the play. The two Kingston teams were Messrs. 8. Driver, George VanHorne, BE. Smith- fes, J. Newlands and A. Minnes, and Messrs. W. Sowards, B. Booth, G. Bawden, D. McKnight and W. Mae- |} nee. A return game has been arranged to be played in Kingston after the evening meeting on Monday, April 27th.
