At night Sorrow whispered: "Wrong has won. All the joy of living ' Is past and done.'" WHILE acting as special investi- gator for the Canadian Gov- ernment, James Oliver Curwood be- came lenamoured of Nature's won- derland in the Canadian Rocky mountains and made it the scene of many of his stories. "The Valley of Silent Men," that little Eden of the North, over which three snow- clad sentinel mountains keep per- petual ward, was no myth. Mr. Curwood simply claimed it by ro- maneer's right, and blazed the way to it over the trail taken by his heroine, the little Canadienne, Ma- rette, and the gallant Corporal James Kent of the Royal Mounted Police. But with all his skill as a word- painter, Mr. Curwood could only in- dicate the natural beauties of this Paradise. V Even the "still" camera and the Painter's canvas can cap- ture only isolated bits of natural beauty which seem so remote that the spectator can hardly realize their truth. But now the motion pictures have followed Mr. Cur.. wood's trail, and in filming "The Valley of Silent Men" amidst the very scenes which the author des- cribed in his thrilling romance, will bring home to millions of screen de- votees the natural wonders of the Canadian Pacific Rockies. Cosmopolitan Productions on ac- quiringihe motion-picture rights to "The Valley of Silent Men", sent a company up into the mountains" early last spring. For twelve weeks they camped and took pictures about Banff and Lake Louise, and the camera caught that miracle of na- ture,-the coming of spring in the snowy wilderness. Frank Borzage, celebrated as the director of "Hu- moreisque" and other successful Cos- mopolitan productions, captained the teompany,-which was headed by Miss Alma Rubens, as the heroine, Marette, and Law Cody, as the gal- lant corporal of the Royal Mounted. Edward Fezu, the veteran guide, pi- loted the daring picture people through dangerous passes, while In- The Movie and The Rockies) Night and Morning 8 JOHN STREET special investi. Canadian Gov. MEET!“ With the rain and wind also came lightning and 'thed.." The first se- vere crash came and the proximity' of the storm was emphasized when a bolt of lightning struck the Victoria Pres- byterian Church at the corner of Med- land and Annette Sts. The slates were stripped from the roof and precipitat- ed across the street, where they were hurled through the windows of the Masonic Temple and the public libra- ry, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Many of the citizens were forced to take shelter, while others less fortunate were drenched. The beating of the rain and wind was so apparent on Bloor St. W. as to wet on- lydthe south side of the street, the north side being entirely dry, owing to the shelter of the many stores. After a sweltering afternoon, one of the ,worst storms that has visited West Toronto came in a wild rush on Wed- nesday afternoon last. Without the slightest. warning, other than lower- ing clouds, the wind broke over the city and came in a cloud of dust. The cloud started at Dundas Street West and kept along to Gilmore Avenue, when the rain commenced, coming down in a' regular deluge. The sand storm was so severe as to mar the vision across the street, and the ad- vent af the rain was a welcome relief., However, it heralded something akin to a cloudburst, so torrential was the downpour. A sixty-mile an hour gale also acéouspapied, and the fury of the two wade things very interesting dur- ing theshort period of the storm. Trees were swirled and many branches were broken off. Public Library and Masonic Temple Also Suffer as Result of Flying Slates Heavy Dowhpour = Many Citi- zens Caught in Storm - Sixty Mile Gale Safety First "Safety first" is a good maxim in most things, but particularly so in re- lation to the investment of money. The rich may afford to speculate and to take the risks attendant on high rates of interest. Those whoseuneans are moderate must be careful to see that there is absolute security in their investments. For such people there is no other form. of investment which takes Such a high rank, combining ab- solute security with liberal interest, as the bonds ot the Dominion of Canada. Holders of Dominion bonds bearing five and a-half per cent., maturing December 1, 1922, can re-invest then. money at the same rate of interest by exchanging the old bonds for new ones running for either five years or ten years, as the bondholder may prefer. Arrangements for carrying out this ex- change can be made through all the chartered banks. _ ‘ r ‘ " ' r ._ ptr. qMeey' WWr v- - -~-'-~~-.

NW3 STRIKES lll.illfillll STEEPLE Strikes Church THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON It took a long time to find just the right place in which to film this thrilling story. In the first place the scenery had to conform to the author's description, and after that it had to be far and away out of "he run of ordinary mountain scen- ery. It had to be on a scale of grand- veur and interest that would help make the film remarkable. Then too. it had to be accessible. The Canah dian Pacific Rockies in the vicinEi of Banff and Lake Louise filled "rt,' these requirements, and further provided the very best possible ae.. commodation for the members of the company at the Banff Springs . Hotel, and the Lake Louise f1ipiiiiil both in very easy distance o the] wonderful scenes phdtographed it the making of this film. C an excellent moving-picture of ‘tha Canadian Rockies. Prior ta the downpour of rain a sand storm which blew in all directions and left the whole section hazy and dark, and the clouds of sand gave it an appearance of a cyclone. The Victoria Presbyterian Church was again struck by lightning and for a short time the tower was in flame, but not much damage was done. The slates off the roof of the church were driven for 100 ft. across the road, through the windows of the public lib- Wary. Allison's grocery store, on the corner of C,leudarurar1 Ave. and An- nette St. was another spot of destruc- tion when the wind blew its plate glass windows in. "Knoclcer" and the "Booster." "When the Creator had made, all the good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so he made the beasts, reptiles and poisonous insects, and when He had finished He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the rattle- snake, the, hyena, the scorpion and the skunk, so He put all these together, and called them suspicion, wrapped it in jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak and called it a KNOCKER. The great wind storm was accom- panied by the heaviest downpour of rain that has fallen this season. ‘On High Park, Willard Ave. and Pine Crest Road, trees were uproot- ed and the telephone wires unstrupg and formed a network over the streets. On Oakmount Rd. the Hydrodamps were forced out of place on the poles and fell to the pavement. A clever peppery fellow is Paul H. Fieberg,.a, Chicago printer.
