W. V. A. Citizens Asked to Transport Returned Soldiers From the Trains to the Hospitals. At Monday evening's meeting of the Great War Veterans' Association, the matter of the appointment of a inew chief of police came up for dis- cussion. It was decided to place be- fore the Police Commissioners the claims of the returned soldier for the position in question, in view of the announced policy of government and city. Discussion arose over the ad-- visability of submitting names. The vote decided that the following four names should be submitted: Lieut. L. J. Dyte, Lieut. J. S. McDonald, Sgt. Major P. Flinter, D.C M., and Sgt.- Major F, J. Pollitt. The feeling of the meeting seemed to be that the Association should not hold the Po- lice Commissioners to names so much as to the principle that the position ought to go to a returned man, On this last the members decided to stand firm. The notice of motion with regard to the Y. M .C. A, was withdrawn in view of the fact that comrades have been asked by provincial headquarters to submit definite signed complaints and forward them to Toronto. Reports oni Celebration. Reports were filed from chairmen of sub-committes of "Over the Top" celebration, The prospective and assured floats now number twenty- two. Captain Edwards submitted a request for between three hundred and four hundred dollars' worth of fireworks for the ' evening celebra- tion. The request was passed.

Supparting this delightful little star were a strong cast of favorites, such as |. Frank Glendon, Templer Saxe, Bigelow Cooper, Willian: Dunn, and others, "Princess Fat" is a photo- play with a punch, and is a combina- tion of wholesome comedy and drama that holds the interest. It is the type of picture that will find popular favor because it is consistent with present day trend of picture "fans" to seck entertainment that strikes a cheerful, optimistic note. Other films shown were the Pathe News, a Judge Brown story that was better than any yet presented, and a good comedy, along with Frank and Clara LaTour in a vaudeville act that is a winner, This excellent programme will be re- peated to-night and Wednesday, ma- tinee and night only, -- At Griffin's. Admirers of Jack Pickford and Louise Huff gathered in force a Griffin's last evening to witness the initial presentation in this city of their latest Paramount picture, "Mile- a-Minute Kendall" In this superb picturization of a famous stage suc- cess by Owen Davis, Jack Pickford has one of the finest roles in his ca+ reer as a cinema star, and he makes the most of it... The story is essen- tially dramatic, the situations being strong, but relieved by wholesome comedy, In Mr. Pickford's supfiort in this picture is his sister Lottie, who is seen for the first time in a Para mount picture with her illustrious brother. The closing chapters of "Vengeance and the Woman," and other features on a highly meritori- ous bill provided many delightful mo- ments for all who attended last night's performance. This programme is well worth a visit either to-night or to-morrow. -- At the Strand.
