Epic scenes from the great world tragedy, in which the flower of Can- adian manhood fought, conquered, lived and died are enacted over again in this superb film drama, "Ypres." Although the war is happily receding into the shadows past, it still has the power to call up poignant memories of sorrow and pride as the tales of heroism and { reat deeds of sacrifices are review. ed. A produce of British tilm erart, "Ypres" depicts the high-lights in the three-year death struggle on the Ypres salient, when the British fought in an never-ending welter of mud and blood to block the way to Calais. "Ypres" is not a tale of fie- tion, with a tinge of color obtained from some mimic battle-front; it is an historical drama, presenting actual incidents, the majority of them, scenés taken during the course of the fighting in Flanders, And pleced in with scenes taken sub- sequent to the war, and so cleverly interwaven that it is practically im- possible to tell where the real scene begins or ends. The historic struggle for the su- premacy of the Ypres salient In which the Germans attempted all de- vices known t¢ man and science to break the morale and to conquer the lines of the British forces was pre- sented in accurate detail, and many of the soul-stirring incidents in which the British soldier trod the way to glory and death lighted up the gloomy tragedy. The story is traced from the' first arrival of the dauntless army of "Contemptibles," their brilliant stand at the first battle of "Ypres" the holocaust of the gas.attack, the gallant stand of the Canadians, and the mining of the Messines riled, which marked | the turning and enabled the British | to make their first real advance. Then the tanks appear on the scene and prove more than a match for the troublesome German pill-boxes, The story is presented in simple but graphic form, entirely devoid of heroles and the whole is lighted up with human interest touches. We take great pride in Presenting "Ypres" to the theatregoers - of Kingston, ' ---- "ROSE MARIE." Coming to the Strand Theatre, April 5th and 6th. In planning. "Rose Marie," which has drawn international acclaim as the musical success of a life- time, Arthur Hammerstein - broke |away from tbe routine of musical comedies and prepared a piece that is different in its general arrange- ment from start to finish. This show, which comes to the Grand Theatre for two nights, April 5th and 6th, has drawn. all its scenes from Canada, with Quebec and its romantic associations particularly ipsghe foreground. The authors have written a consistent play in which the scenés amid music, girls and gayety, take place in Saskatchewan, in the Kootenay and In Quebde. A scenic feature of the production is a massive replica of the grand ball. room of the famous Chateau Froa- tense. A stirring male ensemble portrays the picturesque North- western Mounted Police of Canada. Fully 100 persons occupy the stage in. Song and 'dance. The songs that linger in the memory are "Rose Marte," "Indian Love Call," "Why Shouldn't We?" "Pretty Things" and "Totem Tom Tom." In the first was fully expected that they would arrive some time gn Monday, but at what definite hour ¢ould not be learn- ed. Mayor Angrove despatched a tele- gram to Winnipeg to get information, but arrangements for a . reception werd not to be made until definite word was received from Winnipeg an- nouncing the hour of the arrival of the team here. The boys however, will be given a royal welcome. That is an assured fact, AGE LIMIT RAISED. ie It Bo, Kingston Would Have Some Junior Team Next Year, At the session of the Canada Ama- teur Hockey Association at Montreal on Thursday, Mr. Frank Calder, President .of the National Hot%ey League, was present and a uniform code of rules for amateur and pro- fessional hockey was discussed. Mr. Hewitt was sppointéd a committee ot one to confer with Mr. Calder on the rules. From what transpired at the mest- ing, it would mot be surprising to 8c the size of the nets made larger. The goal keepers' pads came in for discussion and the widening of the nets was suggested as the remedy for low scoring games." It is very probable that the age limit for junior players will be twenty-one years instead of twenty ydéars as at pregent, . Varsity 8, Port Arthur 1.
