Crown Prince Gustavus of Sweden is now a full-fledged member of the Arapaho tribe of Indians, having been adopted by the Red men last month when he visited the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios where Col. Tim Mc- Coy was starring in "War Paint," to be shown at the Oakwood Theatre next Thursday, Friday, and Satur- day. McCoy arranged for; the Indians to aropt the prince andwalso; to create him a "White Chief"mf the tribe. The crown prinee's new Indian name is "Walk-nee-e-see," which» is Ara- paho for "Lone Bear." ‘1 m.' Imagine an English-made motion picture showing baseball played with cricket bats, or cowboys wearing monocles and_psing Jpngh1sh saddles.' Yet, says Elinor Glyn, famous au- thor and motion picture creator, who personally supervised, "Love's Blind- ness," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pie- ture from her own novel, coming to the Oakwood Theatre, next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, pictures with incongruities just as glaring and purporting to represent English life have been made in America and ex- hibited in England and are respon- sible in no small measure for part of the present agitation in Great Britain against American films. . . -- CHRISTMAS PANTOMINE BALLET AT THE QAKWOOD Comfort, Medical Aid and Help Given to Many Throughout the Year-Your Money Helped Pauline Starke and Antonio Mo- reno have the leading roles in the pie- ture, hwile the cast includes Lilyan Tashman, Sam De Grasse, Douglas Gilmore, Kate Price, Ned Sparks and others.

The letter made no mention of who won the silver cups for first prize, and the secretary was asked to write for the area grouping and who were the winners. Mr. John Mills, of Queen's Drive, has announced that he is contesting the vacancy on the trus- tee board. Mp. Millswas once .aec- retarrtteasuter, -of the. heard; '1! 'c/err.' Mr, Alfred Partridge, who has been seeretarrtreasurer of the board for the past three years, tendered his res- ignation on account of business rea- sons. His resignation is to become ef- fective January 31st, 1927. The mat- ter was laid over until the 1927 board of trustees. The trustees expressed regret at the loss of its efficient of- ficial. Arrangements were made for the holding of the annual meeting and election, which will take place on in the school building. Wednesday, December 29th,_ at , pm. At the meeting of the board of trustees of Public School Section No. 31, held on Friday in the school build- ing, the resignation of Mr. J. C. Bull as trustee was accepted. Mr, Bull tendered his resignation to the board on December 1st and gave his reason for resigning that he was contesting the deputy-reeveship of Ward 3. The secretary was instructed to write to Mr. Bull, informing him that it was with regret that they accepted his resignation, and that much of the success of the school section has been due to his efforts during the past. Mr. Bull was first elected as a trustee to S.S. No. 17, when Maple Leaf was a part of that section. With the forma- tion of S.S. No. 31 he was elected at the head of the poll for a new board of trustees and was the first chair- man of the board. During the course of the evening, Mr. J. A, L. MacPherson entertained the gathering with an exhibition of lantern slides which dealt with the sights to be seen in the course of a trip across Canada, followed by which he also presented many views of local character. This exhibit was much ad- mired and its conclusion brought forth rounds of applause. It was t most enjoyable gathering of the Volunteer Fire Brigade that as- sembled in their club rooms last week whenbthey took part in competitive games of cards, checkers and the like, whilsk'jyjndtr1ging in the smokes and othetrdormg of refreshment which were regaled. _ _ _ '_ _ A feature of the evening was the receipt of the present from the wom- en's institute members of the splendid sets of dishes and other articles neces- sary for the proper serving of refresh- ments, a gift which was highly ap- preciated. _ A . . As showing their keen interest in the welfare of the brigade there were members of the Etobicoke Township Council, in the persons of Reeve Tier, Deputy-Reeves Marshall, Price and Westbrook, present at the gathering, all of whom took an active part in the affairs which Yere going: _ Negotiations are now in progress with many of the most prominent stars, both men and women, for their appearance in Toronto during the seas son in plays in which they have won success. The engagement of these artists will be from two to three weeks each, with a change of play weekly. Mr. William Faversham has been selected for the opening of this new arrangement and will present his greatest success, "The Squaw Man", a play that was originally produced by him at the Princess Theatre, Tor- onto, some eighteen years ago. It is one that should appeal to local them. tregoers as the scenes are laid in Eng- land and the far west. As will be the policy with all productions "The Squaw Man" will be presented in the same elaborate manner as the original calling for a east of some thirty Petr- ple. This will be followed the second week by 'Lord and Lady Algy', a play in which Mr. Faversham delighted Toronto audiences on a previous oc- casion. Following Mr. Ftiversham's engagement either Jane Cowl, Laur- ette Taylor or Alice Brady will appear and in each case the star will be sup, ported by and English company, while tthe plays will be presented with every attention to detail the same as the original. _ The most interesting feature of this new policy, and which will ap- peal to theatregoers, is the scale of prices to be charged. Herettofore theatregoers have had to pay three dollars top to see these stars, while under this new policy the best seats at night will only be one dollar and a half,, and half that price for the Wed- nesday matinee, and one dollar at the Saturday Matinee. Of course, this arrangement is only accomplished through the theatre guaranteeing these artists a fixed amount, and as- suming the speculative end. This ne- cessiates the theatre reeeiving very liberal patronage to insure the SUC- cess of this new venture. Mail orders are now being accept- ed for Mr. Faversham's engagement. Theatregoers desiring to secure the same seats each week under this new arrangement can do so by having their names placed on the season list at the box office. Treated to a Pictorial Trip Across Canada-Played Games The inauguration of the new policy at the Princess Theattre, Toronto. on Monday December 27th, presenting dramatic 'stars' in some of their sue- cesses, promises to prove a most pop- uly; undertaking.
