Julia Arthur at the Grand on Wed- nesday, Matinee and Night. A more impressive play than Bernard Shaw's dramatic classic, "Saint Joan," which opens at the Grand Opera House Wednesday, April 22nd, matinee and night, will not be seen im 'this city during the present season. Kingston ~theatregoers will have the distinction of witnessing this much-appreciated play of two con- tinents, "Saint Joan" having been seen only in New York, where it ran all last year at the Empire and Garrick Theatres, and subsequent briet visits to Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and a few of the larger mid- western cities, from where it comes to Kingston. "Saint Joan" was a sensation in New York, and it is still running in London, England, at the New Thea- tre, where it has been for the past six months, playing to capacity houses, the engagement having been twice extended.Shaw has to his credit many plays of the drama, but in his latest and greatest offering, 'he has achieved a dramatic triumph. "Saint Joan" is thoroughly charac- teristic of its author, in its con- stant conflict of sense with non- sense. It is alternately serious and mirthful, historically accurate and lampoonishly inaccurate; always brilliant, if not always convincing in argument ,and always entertaining in flights from exalted heights to tragedy to the dept of burlesque. It is fortunate that>sbe story of the play is familiar and that the atten- tion can be allowed to centre on the fine points of Shaw's exquisite con- ception of "Saint Joan." The lass of Domremy with her health, energy, genius, and consecration to her vision is a study in sincerity and truth. A CAPACITY HOUSE. Greets "The Wife of the Centaur" at Capitol. A film production with many bril- liant scenes and one which tells a most unusual love story is "Wife of the Centaur" which opened to a very enthusiastic audience, at the Capitol theatre yesterday. Taken from the novel by Cyril Hume which caused such a wide- spread sensation, when it was pub- lished, the story has as its theme the infidelity of man. Three well-known leading men, three equally well-known leading women and a host of character play- ers make up an impressive cast. John Gilbert heads the list of players as the "Centaur" and Eleanor Board- man is the wife. Aileen Pringle who became a popular screen figure in "Three Weeks" has a part equally as important as those of Mr. Gilbert and Miss Boardman. Kate Price, screen comedienne has a role in which she brings out many humor- ous situations. Philo McCullough and William Haines with Betty Fran- clsco and Jacqueline Gadsdon al. have strong roles. "Wife of the Centaur" is really a character study of its central figure, & strange combination of poet ana brute--a man in whom idealism and sensualism are always at war. The story opens with the ¢entaur in col- lege. A friend takes him to his home during vacation and here he meets the friend's sister, Joan, a shy in- nocent girl who immediately fall in love with Jeff. Some months later they meet again at a party and Joan's heart is broken when he ignores her for Inez Martin, a vol- uptuous sophisticated creature. His struggle between his finer self and the brute side of his nature makes one of the most interesting and pow- erful stories shown on a local Screen. To tell more would spoil the proper enjoyment of the picturo. One parting word or advice--See it! "THE CHORUS LADY" A AT THE STRAND "One of the most entertaining and colorful photoplays seen in Kings- ton is "The Chorus Lady," which is being shown at the Strand Theatre to-day for the last time. It is an adaptation of the stage play by James Forbes in which Rose Stahl scored such a decided hit on Broadway. You will be charmed by the per formance of Margaret Livingston as Patricia O'Brien, the heroine. Her effervescence, youth, naturalness and rare beauty are indeed refreshing, add her acting is a credit to the pro- ession. Alan Roscoe, Lillian Biliott, Lloyd Ingraham, Philo McCullough, Eve Southern and Mervyn Leroy are also in the cast. ------ | debate on the || ISSUANCE OF BEER SELLING PERMITS To Be Decided in Ridings by Tory Members and De- feated Candidates. Toronto, April 21.--The issuance of beer selling permits in various ridings of the province will be left, almost entirely, to Conservative members and defeated candidates, it was learned this morning. The de- cision of the government to adopt this measure of distribution is said to have followed lengthy considera- tion. It is felt that the members of the ridings know the constituencies better than anyone else and the feel- ing of the people as to the number of licenses that should be issued. During the latter part of the past week and the beginning of this prac- tically all Conservative members of the legislature have visited Premier Ferguson and laid their views before him. About twenty members were at the parliament buildings this morning in response to a letter sent to them by the premier asking them to come and state their views re- garding the issuance of Jcenses and the framing of regulations. A MISSIONARY DEBATE. Is South America More in Need Than Africa. That the Moffats, Livingstone, Dan Crawford, Stanley and Mackay have been outstanding men in carry- ing the gospel to Africa while those who have gone to South America are but little known was one of the many arguments the debaters of the negative side brought out when a subject, "Resolved that the need of missions in Africa is greater than in South America' took place in Bethel Christian En- deavor Society last night. The de- baters, Lauretta Veale and James Lomax for the negative, claimed its very name "The Neglected Con- tinent"" was proof of its greater need of missions, and that while Col- lumbus discovered South America in about 1600 yet America had not dis- covered it until the 20th century though it is a field of greatest portunity. In the country of Col- ombia there are five million people with only five ordained ministers or an equal of ten ordained men to the whole of Canada. The affirmative debaters, Mary Porter and Laura Wilson, depicted Africa as the darkest of continents with more than ninety-six millions of heathen never having come un- der the influence of the gospel, a continent with its inhabitants porn in superstition and paganism, and they gave many arguments to hold up the greater need of missions in Africa. The judges, Messrs, S. A. Hitsman, 8. T. Lilley and J. A. Miller, after much deliberation gave the decision in favor of the negative. William Bruce, convenor of the missionary committee, presided. ROADS TOO HEAVY For P.W.O.R.- to Undertake a Street Parade. The P.W.O.R. was to have held its first street parade of this season Monday night, but owing to the very poor condition of the roads, it 'was decided to postpone it till next Fri- day night, weather permitting. The parade was held in the arm- ouries and at the intermission Col. Sparks, C.0., presented the certifi- cates won by the members of the battalion. The following certifi- cates were presented: Royal School of Instruction (small arms), Ottawa, Lance-Sergt. N. Asselstine of "D" company; Lewis gun and revolver, Pte. C. W. Smith of "D" company; Lewis gun, Pte. E. Ryan, "D" com- pany; Royal School, St. John's, Que., Lance-Sergt. A. Chart; Provisional School, C.Q.M.S. Wainright, "B" company; Sergt. Jackson, "B" com- pany, and Corpl. Hallan of "C" company. The pipe band, under the direétion of Pipe Major Stuart, is doing splendidly, and the brass band is also winning great praise. & { Things Not to Remember | « + When the "Old Boys" come home to Kingston in August, de not have them remember: The holes and bumps in our new pavements.

It was announced on Tuesday morning that the local executive of the Central Ontario Baseball team was prevailing upon a right-hand pitcher, who has been out of the game for about a year, to get back into the game this season. The executive feels that at least 'four pitchers are required. "Teddy" Gallagher and Curran, the two left-hand pitchers, are com- ing along in fine style, but right- sanders are needed. Young of Syd- enham, who has turned out with the local squad, is looked upon as very good, considering the experience he has had, but the executive is anxious to get the fourth flinger. It will be some days before the team will be able to get out to prac- tice, on account of the dampness of the field. Question of Referees. T. Gloster of: Toronto, were on the [stast of referees. It is rumored that | Belleville: is objecting to these two {men, as they did not give satisfaction before. It has been suggested that {Sullivan of Kingston, and Alex. Kay {of Peterboro be put on the |But Sullivan and Kay have refereed {in the C.0.B.L. before and have giv- len complete satisfaction, and the expenses would not be so high if {Sullivan and Kay were appointed, |instead of Benson and Gloster. | Last year there was an argument [in the league over bringing the late {Frank Hallinan, who was drowned {last summer in the Toronto bay, and | Benson all the way from Toronto to | Belleville and Kingston. The late Frank Hallinan was one of the best referees in the S.0.B.L., but the ex- penses of bringing him and Benson from Toronto were very high. Ben- son did not give satisfaction last year, and now the C.0.B.L. have ap- {pointed him and Gloster for the {coming season. Naturally there would be an objection, as two referees that would give satisfaction can be obtained with less expense and Sullivan and Kay are good men. It is thought that Kingston would back Belleville in their objection. Perth Ball Club Reorganized. There was a fair turnout of the Perth baseball fans when the meet- ing of the Baseball Club was held for the election of officers. Owing to this being the year in which Old Home Weék is to be held, it was emphasizéd that Perth should have a strong team so that they could make a good showing in the games expected will be run in connection with the celebration. After some discussion the follow- ing officers were elected for the season of 1926: President, Dr. W. G. Blair; vice-president, Frank Me- Laren; treasurer, D. GC. Fraser; sec- retary, B. Ferrier; manager, W. J. Boston; assistant manager, B. Quar- tertain; executive committee, Dr. L. Thompson, RB. Furlong, F. C. Avery, W. Douglas, T. Brady. Rice Signs With Kitchener. Knotty Lee has signed Lex Rice, the well known Kingston back-stop to play professional with Kitchener. It was thought that Rice would be with the Galt Terriers as he was there for a while this spring. Rice reported to Knotty Lee yesterday and "Mosey" Compeau and Lex Rice are two of the four Canadians sign- ed with Kitchener. First Rugby Game. It was announced by Queen's Ath- letic Board on Tuesday morning that the first rugby game of the season would be played on Sept. 26th, when Queen's senior team will play M.A. A.A. in Montreal. It has been arranged that all the members of the team will be back in Kingston in time to get down to hard practice in preparation for the samo. Golfers To Welcome Old Boys. At a meeting of the Kingston Golf Club last night, it was decided by the members to allow the Kingston Old Boys, during the Old Boys' Week, to have the use of the golf course free of charge. It was also decided that a competition would be arranged for thé Old Boys. Financial matters were discussed at the meeting and the programme for the year was drawn up.

COUNCIL MAY PROVIDE "IONE" FOR LAUNDRIES Mayor Angrove Opposed to By-law Presented to the Council. Mayor Thomas B. Angrove is pleased over the fact that the city council on Monday night turned down the proposed laundry by-law. He stated that he had sympathy for a person who had property next to a laundry, and who was opposed to its location, but he did not believe Allen, 462; in driving the Chinamen out of the business under the conditions .as proposed in the by-law. A laundry- man might have a lease of a build- ing for a term of five years, and then would be put out of business. Mayor Angrove' regarded the by- law as class legislation and did not regard it as workable. He also re- garded it as unfair. The mayor is of the opinion that action will be | taken by the council to take care of staff. | certain cases and that it is altoge- ther likely that the council may make amendments to the present by- law to provide for a '""zone" for the location of laundries.

CR A COMPETITIVE LINE MIGHT AFFECT RATES Admission Made by General Manager of the British Chamber of Shipping. Ottawa, April 21.--That the placing of a competitive line of ships in the North Atlantic would be the "worst form of any attempt to control rates" was the declaration of H. M. Cleminson, general man- ager of the British Chamber of Ship= ping, before the special parliament- ary committee on ocean rates this morning. He expressed the opinion that ine ternational control of ocean rates was impossible. 2 Under cross-examination by H. J, Simmington, : counsel for the Came~ . dian government, Mr. , Cleminson admitted that the introduétion of & competitive line would affect rates. If the compéting line was strong enough, it might even bankrupt the lines now in operation. He admitted that the effect of the North Atlantic conference system had béen to keep rates up, but took the ground that this system had also resulted in improvement in the service, PRODUCE 'MARKETS GRAIN QUOTATION Toronto.
