"The Phantom of the Opera," Lon Chaney's much-heralded successor spectacle to "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and one of the most daring departures in screem por- trayals ever attempted, comes Mon- day to the Capitol Theatre. It is a spectacular mystéry story of Paris, in which a complete operatic per- formance, staged in a huge replica of the Paris Opera House, largest in the world, "is compared with weird and grotesque adventures in the great cellars and catacombs. Lon Chaney plays "The Phantom," & strange creature of the shadows, in a makeup that eclipses his weird disguise as Quasimodo' in the Hugo classic. Mary Philbin, plays the opera singer whom he kidnaps into his un- derground stronghold, and Norman Kerry plays her lover and rescuer. A remarkable cast is seen in the principal roles and fully four thousand people take part in the mob scenes, the brillian = spectacles on the Grand staircase of the Opera, and the gala performance of "Faust" staged in the opera house proper.

Mr. Miller launch- ed the Bell Telephone system injo Prescott fifty years ago. Sinee that time he has been branch manager at Prescott, having given . wonderful service during that time.

The fans have been wanting to see the Tricolor and Kingston play and the announcement that the game would be staged Monday night as part of a double bill was certainly welcome. The strongest teams available will take the ice to hattle it out for the senior honors of the city and that the game will be fast goes without saying. The local intermediates are play- ing at their best now while 'Queen's are stepping fast in their récent workouts. There Is little to choose between the teams and it will be a very close tussle. Kingston has been greatly strengthened by the ad- dition of Lloyd Brown and the game on Monday night will give him an- other opportunity to loosen up. Queen's are practising daily and are showing up better all the time. With the two teams at full strength, there will be some great old hockey and the fans are assured one of the fast- est games of the season. When K.C.I. Juniors tackle Queen's in the junior Intercollegiate game, they will be playing against a fast collection of puck chasers. The blue and white are exceptionally strong this year and have great hopes of going through. Boyd, Reid and Buck are three of the K.C.L stars and the local fans know what kind of hockey these boys sérve up. There is some very fine material at the Collegiate this year and in prac- tices the boys have showed very fine stuff, The Tricolor also have a strong junior outfit this season and are out to start the season with .a win, which means that K.C.I. will re: ceive great opposition. The open- fog junior game in itself is a good attraction and is a worthy fixture to round off the double bill SP LF With the Curlers. Soft ice again prevented curling at the Kingston Club on Wednesday night 'but it was expected that the colder weather of Thursday would improve the condition of the ice and allow games on Thursday night. The Tankard games may be played on o | Friday or early next week.

CONSIDERING OFFER ¥ BROCKVILLE PAPER DEFENDS ITS TEAM Advises Kingston Not to Send Weak Team to Island City on Friday Night. Of Hon. C. W. Cross of Athabasca Seat. Toronto, Jan. 21.---Right Hon. George P. Graham, Minister of Rall- ways and Canals, is considering of- fers made by Hon. CT. W. Cross, Athabaska, and others, of resigna- dion in order that he might be pro- vided with a seat in the House of Commons. Hon. Mr. Graham told an interviewer here to-day that he had not accepted the "kind offer" of Hon. C. W. Cross of a chance for election in his riding of Athabaska, but on the other hand he said, "I have not refused this or any other offer 80 generously made. I am considering them." It is stated that Mr. Graham Has been offered eleven seats by &s many Liberals, who are willing to resign in his favor. "It looks as if the Premier will be accorded a walkover at Prince Albert, but one naver can tell. Wait and see," sald the Minister. Hon, Mr. Graham is in Toronto on person- al business, he said. In reply to the criticisms of the Kingston press of Brockville's re- fusal to. change the date of the junior game scheduled tomorrow at Brockville, the Recorder says: "The two items from the Kingston press would lead the sport fans to believe that Brockville is a rather hard town to get along with. The fact of the matter is that Carl Voss, "Gib" McKelvey and "Bud" Me- Pherson, of the Kingston Juniors, had made arrangement several weeks ago to attend the Arts Ball at Queen's University on Friday evening next. They had purchased tickets, ete., hired taxis, and order- ed bouquets for their lady friends for the festive occasion, but alas the Brockville date was forgotten and now the boys are lightly peeved. They did try to have the date! switched, but at this end of the line the change could not be arranged with the arena management. It is also pointed. out that Brockville hockey officials made two trips to Kingston early in the season while J. 8. McDonell, one of the sporting authorities of Queen's University, was making up his mind what dates would best suit Kingston. Brockville agreed |to the dates submitted and feel that in sticking to the 'dates assigned them at that time are now keeping within their rights. It is regréttable that Voss, McKelvey and McPherson may be denied the pri- vilege to "Charleston" around a bit. It was rumored about Kingston on Monday night, after the home team had run up a nine-goal lead on Brockville, that the Queen's trio - i?
