Holt and little daugh- ter spent last week with relatives _in Cleveland, Ohio. The photography was done by Charles kosher, who was also respon- sible for the photographic effects in “Suds,” "Pollyanna," and several oth- er recent productions of Miss Pick- ford. . Miss Pickford has surrounded her- self with a splendid cast, which in- cludes such artists as Jean De Briac, for several years leading man ttrSar- ah Bernhardt, Raymbnd Bloomer, Edward. Philips/Albert Prescott Eve- lyn Dumo, who played with Miss Pickford ilr"'Little Peppina," but who had returned to Italy to play impor- tant roles in an Italian company, and George Riga's. _ Those who have seen the produc- tion say that Mary Pickford rises to T1strioniry artistic effects which a screen artist has never before at- tempted, but in all this, in the clever characterization; an Italian girl, she is still the ',t',i2ur1"nn Mary Whom we love so much. _ Miss Pickford has appeared in c0p1- edy-dramas but never in an emotional drama of the type of "The Love Light." and it was only after care- ful study and deliberate considera- tion that she felt herself equal to the tremendous role she plays in this story. "The Love Light" has unusual in- terest owing to the tact that the idea was worked put while Miss Pickford was on he honeymoon. She metI Frances Nation in Italy, also on her honeymoon, and the two worked out the story sitting on a high rock overlooking the Adriatic and it was in. Italy they secured many of the pl‘OD- I erties and several of the players who support Miss Pickford. The players and _proper'ties were brought ali'the Way from southern Europe to California where the Italian settings were minutely reproduced from pho- tographs taken by the two, Those who saw her recent comedies will certainly enjoy her in her forth- coming production which was writ- ten and directed by Frances Marion, who has been acclaimed the leading scenario writer ot the country, and bids fair to standing at the head of the list of directoresses. ‘Mary Pickford's latest United Ar- tists production, “The Love Light." which will be Seen at the Allen Io'eav- er Theatre, starting Monday, is an entirely different story and an abso- lutely new characterization than any- thing in which the World’s Sweet- heart has heretofore appeared. Ever since Mary Pickford has had her own producing organization and could dictate as to the type of phto- play in which she was to appear, she has adapted the policy of never ad- hering entirely to one line of parts, not only because she believes that the public like variety, but because she believes the different lines of characters tend to increase her abili- ty as an artist. PICKFORD’S NFAT PICTI'RE A N EW CHABAC {E EUZATION Departure from Former Worlc Gives Her Woitilei-1' ur Oppovtauuties HUBIBERVALE . Mr. Hoeken paid tribute to the genial qualities of the late Captain Wallace; and tp the general esteem in which he was heid\by his lodge, Protyets, fellow-members of Parlia- ment and business associates. _ The Funeral The funeral took place yesterday at TVoodbridge, when the town and surrounding countryside went into mourning for their best known and generally beloved citizen, the late Capt. Tom Wallace, M.P. Many at- tended the funeral and the flowers and Wreaths that were sent by the many friends were numerous and beautiful. Premier Meighen, with other members of.the federal gov- ernment, were at the funeral to pay their last respects to the member for whom they had such great respect. "Capt. Tom Wallace was a most generous and very kindly man," said Rex: R. .13. Patterson, rector of Christ Church, Woodbridge. "His death is a great loss to Woodbridge. Christ Church to-day has received two hea- VY blows, the death of the rector's warden and the destruction of the church edifice by fire." " He entered with zest into militia work and in 1897 was gazetted Cap- tain in‘the 36th Regiment. When Canada decided to send an expedi- tionary force to South Africa, he threw away his commission and en- 0listed as a private in the Royal Can- adian Regiment, First Canadian Contingent. Among other battles, he was present at Sunnyside on Jan- uary 1, 1900; Paarderberg and ‘Driefontein, and for his distinguish- ed service he was awarded a medal with three bars. During the cam- paign Capt, Wallace suffered with enteric fever. _ f "Capt. ’VVallace was a very con- sistent Orangenvan," said Mr. H. C. Hocken, M.P., Grand Master of the Orange Order, last night, in speaking of the death of Capt. Thomas G. Wallace. M.P. for West York. "He was very popular wherever he went, not only among the mem-, bers of the order. but also among the members ot, Parliament," con- tinued MP. Hocken. "Captain Wal- lace has not held office in the order for some years past, but for a num- ber of years was Grand Director of Ceremonies in the Grand Lodge of British North America. He did not take office recently because he felt obliged to be away frequently and could not attend lodge meetings reg- ularly." q Capt. Wallace is survived by three brothers and three sisters. His bro- ther, C. L. Wallace, is reeve of Wood- bridge and warden of York County. Lt. J. H. G. Wallace, a barrister, in Toronto, was an unsuccessful candi- date for Southeast Toronto in the last Provincial election. N. Clarke Wal- lace, his younger brother, is a student at Trinity University. His three sis, ters are: Mrs. O. J. S. Little of To- ronto, and Miss Olive and Miss Flor- ence B. Wallace, both of Woodbridge. Sunday morning,. just after v, the news of his death had reached the village, the church in which he had taken such an active part, was de- stroyed by fire. For many years the Wallace name has been closely associated with Woodbridge. In public work ot every kind the Wallace family have been leaders. Like his father oetore-httn, Capt. Wallace was one of the main pillars ot Christ Church. For fifteen years he had been the Itector's War- den. In December, 1907, Capt? Wallace first ran for Parliament. As the Conservative candidate he contested a by-election in Centre York, and though defeated, was only 26 votes short of being elected. In the gen- eral election of 1908 he was return- ed to Parliament by a majority of 48. In 1911 he defeated Hartley Dewart, ICC., by a majority of 510. In 1917 he was re-elected by the tremendous majority ot 9071 votes. From the time that Capt. Wallace was old enough to join he took an active part in the work of the Orange Order. He was Worshipful Master ot L. O. L. No. 28; District Master of Vaughan, County Master of West York and Grand Director "d Ceremonies tor the Grand Ledge of British America. TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON He was for 13 years a member of Parliament for West York. Thomas Gordon Wallace was born in Ottawa on May 7, 1879, the eldest son of the late Hon. N. Clarke Wal- lace, "M.P.. ex-Controller of Customs, and a Supreme Grand Master of the Orange Lodge of British North Am- erica. Capt. Wallace was educated at Woodbridge Public School and Weston High School, Capt. Tom G. Wallace died early on Sunday morning in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, He was only ill a short While. having taken pneumonia a week ago last Saturday. Although his. condition was serious, hopes were held out tor him even until the last. FOUGHT IN SOUTH AFRICA WT. WM lj1ll.lj.,llif IS lllll n EES?

At the conclusion of the service, performed in the presence of a crowded congregation, the remains were laid, to rest in Christ Church Cemetery. _ ' The burial service in the hall ren- dered necessary by the parish church having recentlx been destroyed by the, was conducted by Bishop Swee- ny ot Toronto, assisted by the Rev. R. G. Patterson. rector of Wood- bridge, and other clergymen of the Church ot England. The body was removed from the house to the Orange Hall at 2.30, the casket being borne by the follow- ing pallbearers, all close personal friends " the late Mr, Wallace: w. Boddy, w. B. Belfrey, Chas. Elliott, Wm. Mitchell, Donald McKenzie, Ar- thur McNeil, E. W. Brown, and Dr. T. B. McLean. Several members of par- liament ‘acted as honorary pallbear- ers. . George Nesbitt After a lingering illness, George Nesbitt passed away at his home, Little Avenue, on Wednesday, Febru-. ary 16th. Deceased was born in’ Hal- ton County, and until retiring from active life, some twenty odd years ago, when he came to Weston to live, was engaged» in farming in different parts of Ontario and the West. He is sur'- vived by his Wife. Funeral services were held on Friday, February 18th. Interment tool; place in Riverside cemetery. \ The floral tributes were sent by the rector, church wardens and C0ngrega- tion of Christ’Church, Woodbridge, the IVoodbridge Agricultural Society, L.O.L, No. 20, Woodbridge, L.O.L. No. 900, “jest Toronto; the officers and members of West York Liberal-Con, servative Association, Blackwood Lodge, A.F.&A.M., Woodbridge; the women's Institute, Woodbridge; May- or Church and city council of Toronto, Grand Orange Lodge of British North America, Woodbridge town council, employees of Edwards and Edwards, Woodbridge; York‘county council, St. Simon's Lacrosse Club, County Loyal Orange Lodge, and the Woodbridge school children. Although there is a, background of picturesque settings and characters, the interest of the spectator is imme, diately focused on the spiritual Con- flict which is taking place between the invisible forces of srooh and evil with the soul of a man as the stake. Mr. Faversham brings to the princi- pal character the wealth of experi- ence of his successful career, and a rare histrionic treat is in store for all those who have not yet availed them- selves of the opportunity of seeing this excellent photo-drama. Hobart Henley has taken this Frank L. Packard story and produce-pl it in such a, manner as to make it a living, breathing thing instead of a cold, inanimate, soulless object. One of the finest examples of the motion picture at its, best is being presented at the Oakwood Feb. 28, Mar. 1 and 2, where Willialm Faver- sham is being shown in the Selznick picture, “The Sin That Was His." The second monthly tea'held at the Parsonage on Tuesday evening under the auspices ot the Ladies' Aid Society passed off most successfully. The host and hostess, Rev. J. W. and Mrs. Stewart welcomed the large gathering and extended the hospitali- ty of the Parsonage in a very friend- ly way. Tea was served in the din- ing room, and the ladies in charge were kept; busy looking after the cups and saucers and dainty refresh- ments provided for the guests. Val- entine favors, ferns and bright flow- ers, gave the rooms a. very bright ap- pearance. The committee in charge deserve great credit for the arrange- ment of all details. A musical pro- gram was given at intervals and pro- vided entertainment, contributing to the pleasure of all. The Weston boys' quintette, Miss‘Hazel Goulding, Miss Dunlop and Mr. Herd of Toronto gave several musical selections and vocal numbers, Miss Hyslop and Miss Gardhouse of Weston gave instru- mental numbers; vocal solos, Mrs. Rowland; readings, Miss F. Scarce, Miss Cornell and Miss Dorothy Jar- butt, the pleasing feature of all being their willingness to give of their ser-, vices for the enjoyment and pleasure of the assembled party. Mrs. W. J. Inch presided at the piano and per- formed her arduous task in a manner which added much to the pleasure of performer and listener. The doorkeep- ers, little Dorothy Garbutt and Mar, garet Scythes, looked sweetly pretty and their smiles gave the guests a cheerful (welcome. The sum of $27.40 'will be added to the treasury of the society from this event, and the ladies wish to thank all tsrhol helped in achieving the same. i Bert Lytell plays the dashing role ot Jack Craigen, an engineer lately returned tYom,Africa to New York, who proposes to a stage-struck so- ciety girl, Helen Steele, only to find that it was a frame-up and that she made him propose only to prove to her millionaire friend that she has talent enough to have} the leading woman's role in his "little theatre." Craigen, angered, abducts her to his hunting lodge, and there alternatel;r tames her wild spirit and woes her, until she learns to love him. The picture is a Metro special, adapted from the stage success by Charles Goddard and Paul Diékey. The play in itself has thrills a- plenty, dramatic moments when the audience sits tense, waiting tor the next moment to straighten out things, and delicious humor that relieves the strain and sends everybody rocking with mirth'. r aw}: )IIBLEADI‘SG LADY?
