"One of the most delightful pic- tiires of the season" was the unani- mous verdict from the capacity audi- ence last evening as it filed slowly from the Grand. All who have not giready seen this delightful photo- play have a pleasant treat in store Mor them, and those who saw it be- j fore, will find that it loses none of its attraction from a second seeing. It is without doubt the finest picture that Harold Lockwood and May Al- lison éver produced, and with its lo- cale place among the Thousand Is- lands in the vicinity of Clayton, its many familiar scenes lend added in- terest.
