Excells His Previous Good Work in "The Blackbird" at Capitol. As Quasimodo in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and in the title role of "The Phantom of the Opera" Lon Chaney showed himself as a master of pastomime; ia "The Un- holy Three" and "The Tower of Lies" he went a step further, and freed from the burden of inches-deep make-up, he gave promise of becom- ing one of the screén"s finest actors. It is possible that in "The Blackbird," shown at the Capitol Theatre starting to-day, he has fulfilled that prom- ise. The play itself, a grim and al- most unrelieved melodrama of Lime- ho fife, offers him a splendid op- \gortunity, and supported by an ad- mirable cast with Owen Moore and Renee Adoree, Mr. Chaney gives a arefully studied performance that both the virility born of real re- straint and a gripping, powerful realism that attests his developed talent, His role is a dual ome, but' one which demands no trick photography or double-exposure. "YPRES" COMING TO CAPITOL. Epic scenes from the great world tragedy, in which the flower of Brit- ish and Canadisn manhood fought, conquered, lived and died, are en- acted oved again in the superb film drama, "Ypres," which opens at the Capitol on Monday. Although the war is happily receding Into the shadowy pest, it still.-has the power to call up poignant' memoriés of sor row and pride as the tales' of hero- ism or great deeds of sacrifice are reviewed. A product of British film craft, "Ypres depicts the high lights in the three-year death struggle on the Ypres salient, when the British fought in a never-ending welter of mud and blood to block the way to Calais. "Ypres" Is not.a tale of fic- tion, with' a tinge of color obtained trom some mimic battle front; it is an historical drama, presenting actu- al incidents, the majority of them scenes taken during the~Tourse of the fighting in Flanders, and pieced in with scenes taken subsequent to the war, and so cleverly interwoven that it is practically impossible to tell where the real scene begins or | D 4 FLORRY CAUSED IN THE LEGISLATURE Power on Ottawa River Form- erly Owned by Kingston Interests. Power on the«Ottawa River, which was formerly owned by Kingston in- terests, caused a flurry in the On- tarfo Legislature, when A. H, Acres, Conservative member for Qariston, Sn | onuutred why Mydro ars nat eaten i the development of the Ottawa River. Renewed applause from the Liberal benches drew Hon. J. R. Cooke to his feet to retort, "The reason is this: Years ago the Liberal Government sold the power site at Chat Falls to private interests for $8,600 and when we entered into negotiations with them they asked $3,000,000 for it." "Why didn't you expropriate?" asked H. Fisher (Liberal, West Ot- tawa). "We did start to," replied Hoh. Mr. Cooke. The Speaker put an end to further exchanges, reminding the members that Mr. Acres had the floor. Continuing, Mr. Acres said nine- tees years had gone by since the Chat Falls interest was sold, but nothing had been dome. "I think private capital should be invited to continue on the development," he commented, "or it will never be done in time. It is no use talking about development 'on the St. Lawrence until the water powers over which we have control is first used. I am opposed to pub Ile ownership. What is there to en- cburage young men if we are going to purchase and take over all the wa- ter powers, all the railways and everything else." 7 'The Kingston interests involved say that in 1911, the Ontario Gov- A ment at any time they see fit. fact, the Kingston men do not know why they have not developed this | progerty ators The price will have' DAIL' 10LD RESIDENT PASSES: LATE WILLIAM DERRY AWas for Many any Years Chief Engineer at the Portsmouth Penitentiary.

Not Over Confident, But Are Prepared to Do Thar Utmost. (Special to The Whig). Winnipeg, Man., March |5.~--The Kingston hockey boys were royally entertained at the Manitoba Club last night by Mr. Jack Richardson and Messrs. Smith and Bole of Win- nipeg, the latter two being former Kingstonians. Everybody got to bed early and this morning aM room 'telephones have been cut off so that no chance of disturbance might arise. All seem to Ye in good condition for to- night's battle, and will take the ice with a spirit of determination to make a heroic effort to win out. There is not the slightest spirit of over-confidence in any quarter. Each and every player realizes that the blue ribbon represemting the highest Canadian junior hockey honors, is at stake and each one is prepared to do his utmost to attain success. Should a third game be necgssary it will likely have to be played on Friday night, as the rink _hére is booked for Saturday and Monday. Tie team will entrain for home via Toronto at four o'clock on the afternoon following the final verdict. There has been a very cordial amount of support given our. lads here from former Kingstonians and old R.C.H.A. officers, all of which ia greatly appreciated by the boys. The lads all reajize that Kingstodl | expects thal this night each man must do his duty. The writer - sin- cerely trusts that it will be good pews that will go over the wire to the old l.imestone City to-night for it has besn a long long grind and the boys are the most deserving lads thar any city has ever had to represent it. The Whig's message to the boys has just been received, and is much appreciated. --~JAMES T. SUTHERLAND ONCERTAINTY YET IN CENTRAL LEAGUE Kingston, Belleville and Peter- boro Are the Teams to Enter. A mesating of the executive of the Kingston Baseball Club was held on Wednesday night but little progress was made owing to the uncertain condition of the Central Ontario Baseball League. It was brought out at the meeting that the local ex- ecutive could do little towards mak- ing plans for the season until some definite action was taken by the Central Onfiayio League as to what it intended to do this season. Right at the present time it looks as though Kingston, Belleville and Peterboro would be the only three teams in the League. This, of course would not be very acceptable if other arrangements could be made. It is just possible that Ottawa may enter the League in place of Oshawa, which club droppe out. Ottawa would be a good drawing card and though it might be a rather long jump for the Peterboro team, there is littla doubt that the Petes would rather make that jump than play in a three-team leagie. President William Kennedy of the Central. Ontario League is confined to his home through iligess at the present time, and nothing definite as to what the League intends to do able to call a meeting. Port Arthur Took . First Game by 1-0 Port Arthur took the first game of the Allan Cup finals against Varsity at Montreal on Wednesday night by the score of 1-0, the lone goal of the game being scored shortly after the game started dn a random shot by Alex. Gray, Port Arthur's centre man. It was a great game and had thrills galore in the sixty minutes. Joe Sullivan, Varsity's goal-tend- er, was kngcked unconscious in the second period by a terrific shot which he 'received on the head and Meuller, the sub-goaler, was called into action in the last period and turned in a great performance, handling the two 'hardest situations of the game. Var- sity played their regular team. The Port Arthur--Goal Chabot, defence .iplaintif was not entitled The Quebec hockey mix-up concern- ing the St. Francois Club was taken up and President Silver Quilty was backed up in the action he took. The St. Francois Club still wanted to play for tha Allan Cup, but this could not be granted. W. A. Hewitt, registrar of the C.A.H.A., announced that there had been sixty-six transfers during the year. The registration in the C. A. H. A. last year was 6,853, but this year decreased to 6,634. Of this number 2,860 are from Ontario. iy BOWLING Games for Prizes. At thé Frontenac Bowling Academy on Wednesday night, the bowling for prizes offered by the: academy were awarded as follows: T.

CASE IN COURT OVER - REMOVAL OF A DAM udge Lavell Decided That Chet McKnight Is Not Entitled to Amount Asked For, On Wednesday, Judge H. A. La- vell presided at a sitting of the Di- vision Court at Sharbot Lake, when the townships of Olden and Oso were both involved. Chet McKnight brought action against the township of Olden to collect the sum of $756 and costs. Mr. McKnight, who was road over- seer for the township, removed a dam from the property. of a man named Sly some time ago. Sly con- tended that the road overseer had moved the wrong dam and for this reason brought action against Me- Knight for the sum of $756. When that case was heard the judge gave judgment for $76 against McKnight, the plaintiff, in the second action. McKnight asked the township for the sum which he had been taxed. Judge H, A. Lavell decided that the to the amount which he sued, in view of the fact that there was no motion or by-law on the books of the town- ship ordering him to remove the dam in question. It was brought out that an informal order had been given to remove a dam, but not the one which the road overseer had moved away. J. C. Reynolds acted for the town- ship of Olden and W. H. Herrington appeared for the plaintiff. ~~ There was also a very interesting case which arose over a transaction which took placé between the coun- cils for the townships of Olden and Oso. Oso township brought action against the adjoining township of Olden for the return of a ¢ ue amounting to about $47 which had been paid by mistake. It was brought out In evidence that a piece of work had beefi done on the boundary road between the two townships. When the work was completed Oso township paid the bill in full, which amounted to about $94. In turn = bill was sent to the township of Olden, for half the amount of the bill. The Olden town- ship council passed an order ia favor of the township of Oso, but {nstead of the treasurer of the ' township cashing the order, he Issued a cheque in favor of the township of Olden for thy amount which the .| can be learned until Mr: Kennedy is [yownship of Olden owed the town- ship of Oso. _ The judge found that the cheque had been issued by the treasurer of Oso by mistake, and ordered the township of Olden to return the amount, J. C. Reynolds acted for the town- ship of Olden, and Oso township was not represented by a solicitor. ---------------- Knights Templar Social Event.
