Francis George Frost, a student of Emman- uel Anglican College. The "news ¢reached his friends receatly in a let- ter from a colleague who was with him in the trenches. "He leaped over the parapet and ran out under heavy fire to bring in a wounded comrade," is the simple story of the heroic action for which the greatest military prize was awarded. The local Victoria Cross hero was a resident of Saskatoon for five years prior to enlistment during which he studied at the theological college. His action is rendered the more notable when it is stated that he did not display any outstanding traits either in scholarship or athle- tics which would have led his col- leagues to suspect that he had buried deep within him the latent qualities of abnormal courage and great hero- ism. He was, however, conspicuous for impulsiveness and good nature to a high degree. Born at Leytonstone, Essex, Eng- land, Frost entered Emmanuel Col- lege in September, 1909, and was awarded his college testamur in 1913. The same year he was or- dained to holy orders and at the time of enlistment was reading for Em- manuel College, B.A. He enlisted in October, 1914, with the 28th Bat- talion, and was attached to D. Com- pany, and the college authorities im- mediately granted him his degree. The news of Private Frost's bril- liant exploit at the front was sent to the college authorities by Private H. A. Jack, a fellow student and com- rade-in-arms. This is not the first student of Em- manuel College to win distinction in the present war, the D.C.M. having recently been awarded another stu- dent, Sergt. Walter Burd. Practieal- ly 756 per cent. of students training at the college at the outbreak of the war have gone to the front. In ad- dition to 27 students who went di- rect from college, 10 others who are closely connected with the college in various capacities are under arms, giving Emmanuel a representation of 37 men serving King and country.

At the Strand For the last three days of this week the management announces the latest Triangle play, "Fifty-Fifty," in which Miss Norma Talmadge has the stellar mh role. So many inquiries have been received about the next appearance of this popular star that announcement of her picture will be glady received. "Fifty-Fifty"" is a drama of Bohemia. | [i In one episode of the play Miss Tal- madge does a Hawaiian dance -in a grass skirt, and rumor says she is some swift little daneuse. Keystone comedy, "A Romeo," with Chester Conklin, Tugboat the Selig Tribune, showing current events H all over the world, and other good reels and Granstaff and Davis in a high-class musical and singing act complete a well-balanced programme. At Griffin's. The bill for the last three days at this popular play house has for a leading feature a Lasky production, "The Lash," with that ever popular star, Marie Doro, in the leading role. Among the many brilliant young ar- tists of the stage who have turned to the artistic activity Marie out prominently above all the others. The above photoplay reveals Miss 1 Doro in the character of an appeal- ing young woman, the daughter of plain fisher folk on Brittany's storm- swept shore. The maid marries and is taken to Paris by her wealthy hus- band, where she is placed in the cen- tre of a maelstrom of social activity, deceit and jealousy. tures of this production surpass in beauty anything of a similar nature || that has ever been attempted in photoplay production. . The Late George Fortesque, The death occurred in Montreal of George Fortesque, The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs, Fortesque, both of English descent, who came here to live many years ago, taking up their home finally on King street west, The deceased was a twin broth- er, and during the family's residence here his twin brother and his parents all passed away. During his resi- dence here Mr. Fortesque senior took a great interest in the choir of St. George's Cathedral. He and both of his sons were in the choir, About twelve years ago George Fortesque moved from here to Mont- real. He was at that time in the Bank -of Montreal.
