Her way of resenting his unwelcome attentions is worthy of her upbringâ€" ing as the associate and companion of wild beasts. The déeath of an uncle in New York leaves Gratia heir to $10,000,000, and then relatives charter a ship and go in search of her. She is taken to the Long Island home, where she finds it difficult to adapt her half savage nature to the requirements of her radically altered condition â€" of life. The survivors of the island are the infant daughter of a missionary, Gratia Latham, and her native nurse. The nurse dies while Gratia is still a child, and she lives on with only lions, apes and other wild animals as her companions. The role of Gratia is played by Pearl White, famous for her dash and daring on the screen. "A Virgin Paradise," the sensationâ€" al~ and spectacular William â€" Fox special which made . a tremendous impression while running on Broadâ€" way, New York, will come to the Beaver Theatre next Mondayâ€"Tuesday. The story, dealing with life in a South Sea Island jungle and with civilized hypocrisy, was written ® by . Hiram Percy Maxim, the famous inventor, especially to provide material for a William Fox superâ€"serial. The scenes include the destruction of a tropic island by a volcanic . erupâ€" tion, with the death of the entire population except two persons ,and the burning of a palatial country place on Long Island, New York. soMETHING NEW IN PICTURES IN "A VIRGIN PARADISE "Disraeli‘" is not an historical play. "The drama, by Louis N. Parker, shows the life and times of sixty years ago, together with something of the oppoâ€" ‘sition encountered by the Hopn. Benâ€" jamin Disraeli, M.P., the great statesâ€" man who, on two occasions, was deâ€" signated by Quéen Victoria to be her Prime Minister. The ‘plot" carries two love stories for the attachment between Disraeli and his wife is one of the great love affairs of the ages. The second love story , develops between "Clarissa‘" (Louise Huff) and "Charles, Viscount Deeford" (Reginald Denny), and some of the scenes between these two young people are among the most charming ever thrown on the scereen. Henry Kolker, the director, took his company to several charming "locaâ€" tions‘" to obtain scenes for the picture. Two of the most palatial homes in the East were visited through arrangeâ€" ments with prominent society women interested in restoring devastated France. Charles Osborn â€" Seessel, famous art director, has furnished several big sets, all ?f which reflect the beauty and dignity of the midâ€" Victorian period. & Miss Louise Huff, dainty little film star with millions of admirers, reâ€" turns to the sereen after a prolonged absence. And she is more beautiful than ever.. Miss Huff shares honors with Mr, Arliss and in many of the scenes in which they appear the reâ€" sult is striking. Miss Huff and Mr. Arliss are shown in a sequence of scenes ‘"on location‘"‘ that will be numâ€" bered among the _ most beautiful scenes ever thrown on the screen. Because They Believe that Busiâ€" ness Will Be Bad, It f Becomes Bad. The critics have pointed out that Mr. Arliss and his art remain the outâ€" standing featuresâ€"of the "Arliss picâ€" tures." Mr. Arliss has given his sereen version of "Disraeli" the closest attenâ€" tion and it is safe to assume that in its completed state the picture repreâ€" sents the best treatment that could be Aecorded to it.. No detail has been omitted that would help to strengthen the picture. The combination of star and direcâ€" tor is one that requires mention. Henry Kolker, the director, achieved fame as the American . stage. His work as the star in "The Great Name" will not soon be forgotten by those who saw it. Almost evwerywhere the merchants tell those who are interested enough to ask, that business is bad, so bad in fact that they don‘t see how it could bae much worse and still be dignified by the name of business. That Christâ€" mas marks the abrupt beginning of a buying slump would almost lead one to believe that the slump is artificial and is as much the fault of the merâ€" chants themsgelves, as their clients. One prominent dry goods merchant made the remark recently that busiâ€" ness would pick up in March. Why shouid business pick up in March rather than January? One reason is that the merchants believe that it will, and consequently, in March they put forth a special effort. Until Marceh comes they crawl into their shells, more or less, and refuse to make a aetermined effort to encourage busiâ€" ness. They cut down on their adâ€" vertising, and in some cases stop adâ€" vertising altogether, and the natural result is that there is no business. The buying public are encouraged to put off buying until later on by the attitude of the merchants. ‘"There is never anything doing around the first of the year‘" is their disheartened ery, and yet they give up withoui making an effort to bring in business. Do they cease advertising because business js bad, or is business bad beâ€" cause théy cease advertising? George Arliss will be seen in the photoplay version of his famous stage success, ‘Disraeli," at the Oakâ€" wood January 9. 10, iL. MANAGER‘S ADVICE "DISRAELI" customer recently, who bemoaned the fact that business was so bad that he wasa‘t putting in more stock. "Well," was the drummer‘s reply, "our busiâ€" ness is good. We are selling in very small quantities, but we \are getting lots of repeat orders. If we can put two of our articles in a store we are satisfied, because before long the man who buys them will be ready for several more." As a result he sold two to the man who believed that business was bad. If he had tried to foree a dozen on the merchant, he would have made no sale. Business was good with him because he believed it was, said it was and worked to prove " Late to bed and early to rise Work like Sam Hill and advertise‘ is an excellent motto to bring results A hardware drummer who was putting a specialty on the market was discussings business with a prospective C TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Is "SEE IT 9A Nothing before attempted in serials can ever approach this serial.

PHOPLE TKE TE _ ie Tt Can you look at reckless, record breaking risks of daring dangers? Are you interested in Mimico, do you wish Mimico to grow, do you want Mimico to be a place good enough for your children to grow up in, do you want Mimico to he the best town in Ontario? ‘Then get busy with the savingâ€"the best is yet to come.. Do you know that, we are rubping shoulders with the finest and most progressive city in Canada? Mimico is going ahead, yes, Mimico must go awhead. Help it by sayingâ€" the best is yet to come. We sit an‘ ponder o‘er our lives, Be an optimist. not a pessimist. Why? because the best is yet to come. Undoubtedly we. have all read and enjoved that series of articles in our daily press entitled, ‘"‘The Worst is Yet to come," and I may say that, to a great extent, they have had their inâ€" fluence on many a mind. They have made us laugh when trouble has been our‘ portion. When things have not gone exactly as we would have liked, we have tried to console ourselves with the saying>thatâ€"the worst is yet to come. . Whoever a couple of people are, you may be sure they aré talking of one thing or another. It may be politics, Dominion, provincial or municipal, or it may be matters of a very different nature, yvet almost alâ€" ways someone will chime in withâ€"the worst is yet â€"to come. Now let us look at men and things from a different angle and see if we cannot find some better way of exâ€" pressing ourselves; instead of saying, the worst is yet to come, let us say, the best is yet to come. Why? because there is no worst. We speculate on the future, we believe that the worst is passed, that the best is waiting for us? Cardinal Newman says, "It is but selfishness, indolence, a. perverse fastidiousness, an unmanfiness and no virtue or praise to bring our talents in a& napkin.". But you say you have not talents. Now listen, get busy, say to yourself and repeat it again and againâ€"the best is yet to come, to you, to all about you, to Mimico and all who reside thereinâ€"the best is vet to come.

The role is a severe test of the emoâ€" tional powers of any actress, and Miss Compson is said to have executed it with the same skill and in the same convincing manner in which she portâ€" rayed her exacting part in George Loane Tucker‘s "The Miracle Man‘ SPLENDID ROLE FOR BETFY COMPSON IN PICTU Magnetic Young Star Seen in Dramâ€" atic Part in "At the End of_â€" the Worid" One of the most unusual roles ever seen in a motion picture is that portâ€" rayed by Betty Compson, new Paraâ€" mount star, in her first starring veâ€" hicle, "At the End of theâ€" World," which will (be seen at the Oakwooa January 5, 6, 7. : Let us remember that we do not know our own needs; we think we need this, that or the other, but it is not given to man to know his own meeds.
