Syd Chaplin is even fumnier than he was in "Charley's Aunt'; first as a debonair young millionaire, then a { typical cab driver, a groom, a butler, and finally as a ladiep' maid involved | in a frantic tussle for a set of plans for an aeroplane invention. Alice Calhoun is tN& pretty her- oine, Kathleen Calhoun an inventor's wife and Helene Costéllo the hero's sister, The directors have not lost a sin- gle chuckle or laugh of the original story, and they have added a great lot of gags that get every laugh you've got. Without doubt "The Man oh the Box" is one of the funniest comedies you'll ever see. You should not miss it, "NO, NO, NANETTE" The long and pleasureably antici- pated musical comedy event, "No, No, Nanette," about which so many Inspiring reports have reached here, will be in full evidence, at the Grand Theatre, Saturday, April 17th, for two performances, matinee and night for the edification of those who de- sire entertainment of the most ap- peéaling kind. That the Grand Thea- tre patrons will be delightfully sur- prised with the conception and gen- orf] interests which are embodied in this splendid production by that as- tute manager, H. H. Frazee, is a cer- tainty as the newspaper critics in Boston, New York, Chicago, Phil- adelphid and everywhere for that matter, including even London and Australia, have proclaimed it to be far removed from the ordinary musi- cal shows which have occupied the attention in recept years, and not.a few of the ablest critics have ac- claimed it the perfect musical com- edy.

Woodsworth, Winnipeg Labor member argues before the House of Commons that the country should | abandon its present banking system and establish in its place a new kind of national system. When the annual banking resolution came on yester- day afternoon it was received with no more than the usual mild degree of interest. No action was taken on it, the debate being adjourtded when the House rose at six o'clock, and it probably will not be heard of again this session. 'Mr. Woodsworth wanted the House to go on record as believing that the time had come when there should be a national banking system. He confessed that he did not expect this eystem to he established forth- with, but that he would be satisfied to have his proposal referred td the committee on Banking and 'Com- merce. Hon. J, A. Robb, Minister of Finance, saw no harm in such a reférence providing the country should not be put to the expense of the" calling of witnesses who know nothing about banking. The Minister was himself satis- fied with the existing banking sys- tem, but he was not disposed to de- prive Mr. ' Woodsworth of oppor- tunity of talking further about his proposed system, if such talk did not cost anything. Other members, in- cluding Hon. R. J. Manion, of Fort William, and C. H, Cahan, of St. Lawrence-St. George, were opposed to theorizing on the subject by committee witnesses drawing ex- penses witnesses drawing expenses from the Treasury. The adjourn- ment of the debate prevented a de- cision as to reference of the resolu- tion to th commyjttee. Mr. Woodsworth's chief desire in the way of reform of the banking system appeared to be that of tak- ing away from private corporations the right to issue money. He would have this privilege reserved ex- clusively to the Government. { WEARY DOG ORAWLS i TO GRAVE TO DIE ne 4 Belleville, April 15. With its head pillowed on the headstone, a full- grown English bulldog was found dead on a grave in Belleville ceme- tery yesterday morning. There were no signs of ill treatment on the body when it was examined by Superin- tendent Thomas, and apparently the animal, weary of the vicissitudes of a quadruped existence, had simply crawled on to the grave and died. The dog has not been seen in the neighborhood before. The pilot on which it wag found is located in the north-east 'corner of the cemetery, and the grave is that of a person whose body was brought from an- other city.
