"Sherlock Holmes, your brain will meet its match at lastâ€"when I, Professor Moriarty, have horrified the world with my perfect crime!" The screen play by Edwin Blum and William â€"Drake depicts the. death struggle of two mastertminds, one cunâ€" ning and fiendish, the other brilliant and fearlessâ€"Moriarty and Holmes. Th famous opponents actually meet at the opening of the story, when the master criminal boasts to Holmes: Darryl F.

Advanced students may even obtain their matriculation or B.A. degree by correspondence through arrangements being made with certain universities. It is the best film show to be seen at Timmins for some time, repeating the success of "The Hound of the Baskervilles," first of the 20th Centuryâ€" Fox films featuring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. This team is perfect in the roles of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s famous charâ€" acters and, featured with Ida Lupino and Alan Marshal, they head a fine cast including Terry Kilburn, George Zucco (as Moriarty, Holmes‘ archâ€" enemy), Henry Stephenson and E. E. Clive. Fantastic clues confront the master detective in this case; there is a strange chinchilla fetish, the Star of Delhi, and the mystery of the Traitor‘s Gate in the London Tower. A woman in love is the victim; the $15,000,000 in gsems the loot! Notable War Services Undertaken by the Legion The years of experience behind its parent body in dealing with personal problems of veterans of the first Great War enables the Canadian Legion War Services to be of tremendous help to the new enlistments. Longâ€"established facilities are at the disposal of the men where they may receive advice and guidance from their older Comrades.

An important part of the Legion‘s war work will be its entertainment proâ€" grammes. Experienced personnel are now developing concert parties within the forces and the men chosen are beâ€" ing moulded into selfâ€"contained comâ€" panies, when costumed and equipped, will entertain the units. From time to time, and dependent upon future needs, there will be amplification ‘of certain other entertainment features such as lectures by outstanding speakers, musiâ€" cal programmes and dramatic presentâ€" ations.

Sherlock Holmes to be at the Palace Theatre This Week When requested to do so by the Commanding Officers, the Legion will establish and conduct canteens. It is the determination of the organization that a wholesome and homeâ€"like atâ€" mosphere will be maintained throughâ€" out and, with this in view, plenty of books, magazines and facilities for letâ€" ter writing are being made available. PAGE EIGHT While the value of the work which this new organization will perform in Canada cannot be underâ€"estimated, at this earl stage one can but speculate on the magnitude it will assume in Engsland and France when the Canaâ€" dian forces arrive overseas.

It ‘ is being brought to the Cartier theatre ;by popular request. The picture took three years to make and cost two milâ€" lion dollars. There are literally thouâ€" sands of people in this remarkable movie. It is a picture in which scores . of airplanes figure, but it is not "just ‘another of those fiying pictures." It is in a class by itself. It shows the world‘s most daring air devils of all nations. It is packed with smashing action and featured by many thrilling moments. |One of the specially striking incidents ‘is the attempt to bombard London, England. Baron Von Richthofen‘s "Flying Circus" is one of the many ‘groups seen in action. "Hell‘s Angels" has thrills, romance, drama, the surge of life itself. (From Standardâ€"Observer) It is quite evident now that Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett was right when he reâ€" 'tused to trade with the Russians. If the whole civilized world would take this attitude they might get a jJolt which would bring them to their senses. "Hell‘s Angels" to be at Cartier Theatre Early Next Week The Canadian Legion War Services is a carefully constituted body comâ€" prised of distinguished men in Canaâ€" dian military and public life. Upon their shoulders rests a tremendous duty. Knowing full well, from personâ€" al experience, the hardships and sufâ€" ferings to which Canadians were subâ€" jected twentyâ€"five years ago, they are determined, however, that every effort shall be made, at home and abroad, to provide the maximum welfare for the gallant youths who have responded for service in the present struggle.

Two romances, the moral disintegration of two of the party under the strain, outstanding sacrifices from others who, in normal cireumstances, would be considered public enemies, and A striking climax when a man under sentence of death is appointed the final judge to select the five members who shall be allowed to live, all comprise unforgettable features of the picture. The film deals with the plight of a group of airplane travelers forced down in a tropical jungle. While headâ€"huntâ€" ing natives threaten to wipe out the whole party, romance and adventure and jealousy and heroism flourish among them, as the two pilots labor to repair the craft and fly it out to civiliâ€" zation. And when the survivors are ready to go, they discover that the crippled plane can carry only five of themâ€"the others must stay behind and face certain death!

Omitting new townsites the figures showed a deâ€" crease of 54 from the previous year‘s assessment. A despatch from Cobalt ten vears ago said: "Some difficulty is being exâ€" perienced by ihe Northern Developâ€" ment Branch in maintaining in proper condition a section of the main road between here and Latchford. ‘A stretch of road, approximately 150 feet in length, and located between seven and eizht miles south of here, has fallen into the swamp over which it was conâ€" structed, and the probability is that piles will have to be driven before the hishway can be put on a safe basis, as it is practically impossible in that secâ€" tion to relocate the route, due to the nature of the country.

"Mrs. Sharp, who though seventyâ€"four years of age is as active and alert as many people twenty years younger, was preparing the evening meal on Sunday about five o‘clock. She had been down the cellar to get some fruit and on returning upstairs carried the fruit to the table without dropping the door of the cellar into place. Crossing over to the pantry a minute afterwards she overlooked the fact that the celar door was open and as a result she pitched headâ€"first down the cellar stairs.

The second regular meeting of the Northern Prospectors‘ and Clain Ownâ€" ers‘ Association, Porcupine branch, was held in the council chambers, Timâ€" mins, ten years ago, with the president Ralph Dipaolo, in the chair and about twentyâ€"five members present. On moâ€" tion of John Power, seconded by Val English, Dr. McInnis was elected honâ€" orary president of the association. The president then read a list of some of planks that he thought the association should have in its platform. He asked the opinion of the meeting in regard to requesting the Government to build the railway to Kamiskotia. There was a very lively discussion on this subâ€" ject and the majority of those present maintained that since several very strong organizations had failed to get the railroad, it would be far better for the Northern Prospectors‘ and Claim Owners‘ Association as an organization to try to get the Government to build a stmmer road into Kamiskotia and to throw the claims open for assess- ment work.
