A] called "Different." Such is the case | with "Moana" the new Paramount pleture showing the bill with "A So- cial Celebrity" at the Capitol Thea- | tre, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. Made by Robert Flaherty, it brings | to the screen a narrative of real peo- | i ple in much the same way a Conrad ll! or a Stevénson might have wished pictures the life of a| island where Robert | is believed to have | it. "Moana" people on the Louis Stevenson, lived and died. The leading character, not a product of civilisation. a son of the tribal chief, idol of the village youth. We follow him'in his dally lite, and are shown the ordeal through which every Samoan boy has to go before entering on his accept- ed place as a man in the counsels of Moana, is i the leaders. Safety razors and shaving creams have taken on new meaning to Adolphe Menjou. You see, "A Social Celebrity," the Paramount star's lat- est production presents him as a | white coated barber. As Max Haber, he decides that as | the opportunities of his small home town are so limited, he may as well head for the big city. Arrived there, the only job he can get is that of an assistant tonsorial artist in the shop of a hotel. One day he is sent to the home of Ten Eyck Stuyvesant, a rather good natured youth of ample wealth. In an effort to amuse his bored friends, "Tenny' - takes his newly made barber acquaintance to a reception in borrowed clothes, and introduces him as the Count Havare de Maxin. And in that you have the bhegin- ning 'of Adolphe "Menjou's new pic- ture. It just teems with amusing in- stances, and is packed with the sort of humor which movie goers are be- ginning to expect from him. Louise Brooks and Chester Conklin are seen to advantage in featured rol¥s. MARINE The steamer Waubic made her first trip of the season, on Friday afternoon around -the harbor.

Friday night, complaints were made from three homes in the city, where lighted firecrackers had been thrown in doorways, and in one case a very serious fire would have oc- curred had not a member of the household been at home and detect- ed the burning firecracker. "There should be a by-law for- bidding the sale of these firecrack- ers on days when no celebration is being held," said a citizen to the British Whig, in discussing the mat- ter. "You cannot blame the boys, as boys will be boys, and as long as the firecrackers are on sale, they will buy them. I think there should be a by-law so as the matter can be pro- perly checked. On days that we cele- brate, I think it would be all right to have the sale of the firecrackers, but to allow the free use of the fire- crackers on any day, is bound to] cause a lot of trouble." The boys ™o doubt do not con- sider the seriousness of thhe matter, but firecrackers thrown in doorways may result in a very serious loss of property and perhaps loss of HYe. Fire Nipped in Bud. The fire which occurred at the home of Mr. Sims, 276 King street west, late yesterday afternoon, was put under control shortly afte the arri- val of the firemen and what might have been a serious fire was nipped in the bud.
