' 'On June 5th a quiet wedding was g| Solemnized at the archbishop's pal- ace, when Irene Irwin was united in marriage to Alexander Potter, son ---- At The Grand. The excellent bill at the Grand last night pleased the large audience immensely. The feature picture con- sisted of "The Woman Between Friends" and is a screen adaptation from "Between Friends," the famous novel by ert W. Chambers, who is known the world over for his won- derful writings. This is the third *plcturization by Vitagraph of the Chambers books, the other two being "The .Fettered Woman' and "Who Goes There!" In this absorbing drama of love and tragedy Alice Joyce has the stellar role and she is capably supported by many favorites, including Marc MacDermott, Robert Walker, Bernard Seigel and others. The story is woven about two young Amberican artists and a flower girl in Paris and is told in a powerful, vincing way that will hold your in- terest until-the 'last minute, Other pictures shown Were the Pathe News, a two-reel Judge Brown story that is the best yet, and a screamingly funny comedy that will make you laugh from start to finish, The vau- deville, Prof. McKay and Ris me- chanical doll, has a splendid act. This Same programme will be repeated to- night and to-morrow, matinee and night only, y At Griffin's, The announcement that Douglas Fairbanks, he of the smile, broad and genial, was to be seen in his latest photocomedy, "Mr, Fix-It," was the lodestone that attracted an unusually large audience to this theatre last night. Mr. Fairbanks' admirers, seemingly numberless as the sands of the seashore, were there in great force, as was evidenced by the laugh- ter and applause that greeted each scene of the excellent picture treat served so admirably to display his wonderfully versatility as a screen star. Much praise was lavished also on the exceptional William Fox pro- duction shown last night, entitled, "Heart and Soul," and featuring the! world-famed screen star, Theda Bara. | This is a timely patriotic photo-play, | showing Miss Bara in a great and stirring emotional drama. There two features comprise the major portion | of one of the best programmes ex-| hibited ig this theatre in some time, and the equal to any shown in any playhouse in Canada. | Thanks for Interest. | Col.
