To See "Over the Hill," a Wonder | X : Play. The local screen never has pre- sented anything more tender and more béautiful than the William Fox picture "Over the Hill? which opened at the Capitol Theatre last night. ; The story .is° based upon a. theme that is no stranger in literary and dramatic works; but seldom, if ever, has the subject so reverent and dignified an exposition as is -revealéd in the beautiful screened story adapted from two poems that have been recited more in school and on the leéture platform than those of any other American poet. Will Carleton, whose "Farm Ballads" captured * the' popular hedrt many years ago, provided the motif of the story.

Mr. Dulmage says the Greys are a light and speedy team and can go the full sixty minutes. He has every hope that--they will defeat Kifigston to- night as well as /fn Toronto. The Greys prefer a large sheet of ice and that is why they chose Toronto for the final in preference to.having played on their smaller home rink, wheré, Mr. Dumage says, the heavier Kingston team would likely defeat them., The Greys will go to Toronto after their game to-night in as 1 Pullman, and rest up there for the final on Thursday night. it' | OBITUARY | Peter J.
