"Oh Doctor," 'the 'Woodhall Amusement Company's newest of-| fering, with all its trademark im- plies of excellence in miisical com- edy, is the attraction at the Grand Opera. House to-night It has| brilliant, tunefy ngs that you will | hum and ae weeks: a plot | that is censistent and filled to the brim-awith comedy; principals that ean sing, dance and aet and a chorus | of beautiful girls who wear 'ahead | of the fashion" gowns of such start- | ling design and color creation that] the ladies are forced to "sit up and take noftice."" Hal Johnson the fam- ous impersonator, is the featured member of the cast. Don't overlook "Oh Doctor," for if you fail to go to- night you will miss one of the liv- liest fun and girl shows of the sea- son. "Pretty Papa.' "Pretty Papa," the musical eom- | edy de luxe, is a melodic melange of all that is cheeringly inviting, allur- ingly attractive, fuitfully fascinating and altogether "it." There is not a single moment of the performance which is not fraught with interest and full of "pep." y The story is a most ingenious one, highly amusing and absolutely consistent. The big ensembles of male and female choristers\are made up of all that is manly and beautiful, refreshingly healthful and amply competent. The most critical of theatre-goers find the produetion delightful and] catchy. The big cast is headed by Norman Hanley, a most original and unoticus comedian. 'The big show will appear at the Grand Opera House next Monday evening, with a special matinee at 2.30 in the after- noon wild] At Griffins This evening will be the last op- portunity patrons will have to see the brilliantly beautiful and gifted star Elsie Ferguson, in "Rose of the World," This superbly enacted drama has delighted large audiences at the above popular playhouse dur- ing the past two days and is without doubt the event of the season in the world of motion pictures. Miss Ferguson has won most of her laur- els in heavy roles and as '"'Rosamgnd" the heroine of the film story, she has a part well suited to her talents. Another undeniably attractive por- tion of our programme is "A Rich man's Plaything," with 'the queen of fashion, Valeska Suratt, in the leading role. These two pictures are { seeing, as their equal would be dif- ficult to find anywhere in Canada. At the Strand.

Judging by the comment on the streets, the advertisement in the Whig on Friday night, calling upon the citizens to use extra precautions in saving coal, caused some stir, but citizens generally understand that the situation is quite serious, and are doing their utmost to cut down in their fuel. "1 try to do the very best I can" said one citizén on Saturday.

SAY DAIRYMEN ARE NOT RAISING PRICE It Is Not Their Fault If Cheese Is Hoarded They . Claim. Ottawa, Feb, 23.--A surplus of cheese in the hands of speculators should not exist, according to A. E. McGrurer Brinston, of the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's Association. In commenting on the ' report of the Cost of Living Commissioner, W, F. O'Connor, who found that there was an excess amount of cheese in Can- ada, Mr. McGrurer stated that con- ditions were--beyefi~the control of farmers, : "It is reported {pn the evening pa- pers that Mr. O'Cofihor has found a large surplus of cheese in thé hands of speculators," stated Mr. McGrurer, "This order of things should not ex- ist. The article goes on to say that we are holding up the people. If our cheese is costing the people 35 cents a pound, it is not the fault of the dairymen. We get 2% 3-4 cents f.0.bh. Montreal. The article, as I read it, seems to have a dency towards the belief that we afe holding up the public, and I don't"®gree with it." T. J. Thompson, 'Spring Brook, secretary of the Fastern Ontario Dairymen's Association, offered the 3 opinion that the surplus cheese in Canada. had been bought and paid! for by the British Gevernment, and | the fact that it was not moved was! due to the scarcity of hotltonis, ! ra A Lanark miljtafy voter in the re-| cent election wiote in the name of Hon, Col, Mathgson, who has been! dead of five years and was formerly Provincial Treasurer of Ontario, re- presenting Lanark.
