L The opening of the ‘‘new theatre" â€"the New Empire Theatreâ€"was the event featured in The Advance of Oct. 25th, 1916. The programme for the opening was an attractive one and there was a large and appreciative audience, the house being filled to its capacity of 600 seats,â€"and sceores were turned away who were unable to purchase seats. The Advance desâ€" cribed the building as second to none north of North Bay and the first threeâ€"storey structure to be erected in Timmins. ‘‘It is indeed a credit to the town, and to the proprietors (Messrs Leo. Mascioli, P. M. Bardesâ€" sono and Chas. Pierce)"‘‘ say The Adâ€" vanee, pointing out that no expense or effort had been spared in endeavourâ€" ing to give the citizens something espeâ€" cially good in the way of an amuseâ€" ment and entertainment place. â€" The building had been fitted with all the latest improvements, such as large stage, Dunham heating system, opera whairs, abundance of ventilation, six exits, fire extinguishers and a new wicture machine, one of the very latest makes. For the opening occaâ€" sion the theatre was decorated with flagcs and bunting. The young ladies ef the Red Cross Society, dressed in white with the emblemati¢ red cross en their arms, acted as ushers and sold eandies during the evening. The proprietors of the new theatre turned ever the evening‘s proceeds to the Red Cross Societyâ€"a generous patrioâ€" tic action that swelled the Society‘s funds by over $200.00, while the Briâ€" tish Red Cross Fund also received ever $80.00... There was a programme ef vocal and instrumental music given by local artists without charge for their excellent services. Dr. J. A. Mclunnis, at that time éne of the town councillors, presided as chairman, and made an earnest appeal for funds for the Red Cross and other patriotic work. He also thanked the owners of the theatre for turning over the proâ€" ceeds of the evening to the good causes that needed assistance. A duet, vioâ€" lin and piano, by Mr. and Mrs. Claâ€" rence J. Appel, roused much applause andewas warmly encored. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Darling won very proâ€" nounced appreciation for their specialâ€" ties in songs and dances. The songs by the Gold Dust Quartette were reâ€" peatedly encored and made special hits. The photoâ€"play shown was the fiveâ€"reel feature, ‘‘Naked Hearts," with Francelia Billington as ‘* Maud,"‘ and Rupert Julian as ‘‘Cecil.‘‘ It was a Bluebird picture adapted from Tennyson‘s famous poem, ‘*Come into the Garden, Maud.‘‘ The New Emâ€" pire Theatre was a great acquisition to the town, and Timmins was very proud of it.

More cases usuâ€" ally than in the ordinary week of these present times. Not that Timâ€" mins was a wild place ten years ago. It was not. On the whole it was a more moral and lawâ€"abiding town than toâ€"day.. There were few really serious cases ; the Ontario Temperance Act caused most of the cases. In addition to the liquor cases ten years ago there was an interesting theft case. A man, whose family lived in Haileybury, was charged with the theft of $140.00 from a man who stopped at the same boarding house in Timmins. The complainant in the case got a few drinks and when he woke up his money was gone. Officer Mervin Sally rounded up the accused man, by working upon the fact that one of the bills taken was a $100.00 bill, and so checking up on all $100.00 bills cashed here for some days. A local jeweler deposited a $100.00 bill and when queried as to where he reâ€" ceived it, he told of the accused givâ€" ing it in payment of an account and receiving the change. The aceused said that he had received the $100.00 bill from Haileybury, or from Cobalt, from one of those mysterious men who are forever tangling up the cause of justice by failing to materialize to prove up the stories told by defenâ€" dants in icertain cases. The man acâ€" cused of the theft was shown to be a man not likely to have $100.00, and also his stories were very conflicting, but direct evidence was lacking that he had actually stolen the money. The magistrate eventually gave the acâ€" cused the benefit of any doubt there might be, but he had to pay the jewelâ€" er and also the costs of the court, the $100.00 bill being returned to the comâ€" plamant. ing byâ€"law and other necessary rules and regulations for a fire chief to act upon. Under the conditions preâ€" vailing, Mr. Hill pointed out in a letter to The Advance, no man should be asked to take the responsibility. He also pointed out that recommendaâ€" tions made for the purchase of essenâ€" tial fireâ€"fighting equipment had been turned down. He was willing to serve as Acting Chief until other arrangeâ€" ments could be made, but he would not take the responsibility on himself without the support and assistance that he suggested. The matter caused several heated sessions of the town council, but looking back, it must be said that Mr,. Hill‘s attitude was of material assistance in inducing the council to take the proper posiâ€" tion in regard to fire protection and the fire brigade.
