AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions "THE ANCIENT HIGHWAY," James Oliver Curwood Story at the Capitol Theatre on Monday. Irvin Willat has transferred to the screen, utilizing the limitless re- soarces of Paramount, Curwood's story of "The Ancient Highway," which opens at the Capitol Theatre to-day. The story chiefly concerns Cliff Grant (Jack Holt), an adven- turer, who has wandered all over the world and returns to his native town along the St. Lawrence River for the sole purpose of inflicting physical punishment on a millionaire paper manufacturer; played by Mon- tagu Love, who had ruined Brant's father and caused his death. In Love's office, Cliff, thoroughly beats and humiliates him, the encounter being witnessed by Billie Dove, a beautiful girl with whom Ivan Hurd (Love) is in love. Antoinette St. Ives (Miss Dove), unknown to Brant, warns him that Hurd has the police after him, and he escapes by way of "the ancient highway."' In a tre- mendously thrilling scene Brant risks his life to dynamite a jam plénted Vy Hurd, and is° Almost killed in the maelstrom. ! 100-POUND LOTS { = Of Pea Coal Being Sold in Jersey City, NJ. - Jersey City, N.J., Dec. 28.--With no hard coal available for general distribution during the present freezing weather, Mayor Frank Hague to-day announced that the municipal distribution of 500 tons of pea coal would start to-morrow from the city's fire houses.

Saskatoon, Dec. Sec, 28.-- by weird tales could be told, and (naeed have been told, of hoy some of Canada's favorite sons made oki ntrance in- to rie sons ma cles. Comes to light ~ a nt fanning bee of members of the Saskatoon Hockey Club of the afforts of Lloyd Turner, former manager of the Cal- gary Tigers, to enlist the services of Bill Cook, star right-winger of the Sheiks. Few Saskatoon fans and even fewer enthusiasts through the western circuit realize just how close the same former Soo Greyhound who is now rated as the greatest right-winger in professienal hockey -- one of the greatest at least. The story hinges around Rosie Helmer, romantie, hustling pilot of the Calgary Tigers this year. In his two years with the Soo Grey- hounds Bill Cook hung up a splendid record and several overtures were made by N.H.L. clubs for his services in pro hockey, but the popular, trick- skating William turned them aside and at the end of a big season with the Soos In 1921-22 hopped back to his farm at Lac Vert, Saskatchewan. Knowing the Cook boy of old, and of his ability as a puck-chaser, Lloyd Turaer decided that the time was ripe to bring Bill into pro hockey. "And, so the story goes, Lloyd dis- patched his chief aideyde-campi, Rosle Helmer, on a money message into Northern Saskatchewan and to La Vert. Rosie arrived at Lae Vert late one night in the fall of 1922. It was colder than a chunk of ice on an Alabama darkie's cheek, and snowing heavily, but it didn't stop the Cal- gary missionary from hiring a livery and starting out for the Cook ranch, a few miles out of town. He arrived about 2 o'clock in the morning, routed the Cook family, including "Bunny" Fred Cook, now a member of the Sheiks, out of bed to talk money. 'When Calgary Rosie arrived back in Tiger-town the first person he bumped into was Lloyd Turner, "Well, did you have any luck?" Lloyd greeted his henchman. "Sure I dia," wig Rosie's rejoin der. "Didja get that guy Cook to sign @ contréct?" fired back Turner. A Would Line Up. "Well, no not exactly," parried Helmer, "but he said he'd line up with the Tigers." . What Turner told Helmer is not available for publication, but when it was announced a few weeks later that Bill Cook, formerly of the Soo Greyhounds had been signed to play professiondl hockey with the Saska- toon Sheiks one = can picture the friendly exchange of words between the veteran Calgary hockey man and his chosen disciple. Perhaps the absence of pen and ink at the Cook ranch at Lac Vert saved Saskatoon from losing the most popular and smartest pro puckchaser on its roster--and lost for Calgary the services of a Salanteq performer. Bill Cook is a wel) known King- ston boy, who starred on the local O. H. A. teams a few years ago, but who later went to the Soo and then jumped to the pros., and made good with a vengeance. ' Cook is the lead- ing scorer in the Western League and em tis ------------------, has eleven points. He has not ence been penalized this season. His bro- ther, Freddie Cook, formerly of the Soo, is also playing in the Westérn Pro, -league. Local 'hockey enthus- fasts are greatly interested in the Cook boys, and are proud of the re-| cords that these former Kingston hockey stars have made. HOCKEY IN NEW YORK.
