PAGE EIGHT Pe . Boys' Clothes Youth is nimble, full of sport, strength and spir- it; boyhood is the May-season of life. All boys are Ai real boys in the {2 summer time at least. But don't re- aman [ A the Theatres At the Grand. | §f the circumstances made the ! situation possible, would you sell | yourself to the highest bidder? All i those who saw "To the Highest Bid- 'der' at the Grand .last evening saw what Alice Joyce in the part of Barbara (Preston did when she had to decide this question. Don't miss seeing this interesting film when it will be shown for the last time to- night along with the other features on the bill, which are the Pathe News, a good comedy and two other reels, besides. [Page and Dorita in a classy musical novelty that has been a decided hit during its engagement here. For the last three days of the week Carlyle Blackwell and June Eividge will be seen in their latest World Picture, entitled, "The Way Out," which is a story that has its climax on a European battle- field. It is a picture that will sure- Jy hold the interest because of its highly 'entertaining value. There will also be the [Pathe News, a Lone- some Luke comedy, an O. Henry strain the boy, rather bring him here and let us fix him out with clothes that will withstand the severe service he is bound to give them. There's nothing desirable in cloth- ing for the boy, large or small, that cannot be found at this store of good clothes. ( Suits $6.50 up to $15.00, and all prices between. Livingstons Outfitters For Men Arid Boys. If off your route it pays to walk.

To round out this programme there will bs an act of superior vaudeville that will be of the kind that pleases. Coming, "Turn to the Right." "Turn to the (Right," a "play of mirth and morals which Winchell Smith and John L. Golden will pre- sent at the Grand Opera House on Thursday, Sept. (5th, has been well advertised locally by persons wio witnessed it during its long runs in New York and Chicago last year. Visitors in both cities were directed to it as "the best play in town,' and it is doubtful that any theatrical of- fering of the Ipast decade has been favored with heavier out-of-town 'patronage during its metropolitan | engagements. For those who wit- | nessed '""Turn to the Right!" at the "Gaiety (Theatre, (New York, its forthcoming engagement wi"l afford an opportunity to renew aequaint- {amee with Ruth Chester, Edgar Nel- son, Samuel Reed, Dewitt Newing, Harry Humphrey, 'All Sincoff and other members of the original cast. The complete production is being carried on tour, and the local pre- sentation 'will lack nothing of the sincerity or attractiveness of the metropolitan performances. Coming, "Everywoman."" | "Everywoman" enjoys in its pre- sentation that skill and effective- ness which appeal most strongly to | those persons who are stirred and | thrilled by this sort of theatrical production. For everybody is stir- red and thrilled at times, so '"Every- | woman*' is the sort of play that gives Joy to everybody. Everybody {will admire the richness and the completeness of the production and everybody will see and understand its popular appeal. The simplicity { of its allegory renders the play quickly impressive, and the rather , unusual pictorial values of the pio- 'duction and the orgiastic drift of the story otherwise capture and hold interest. The idea upon 'which the play 4s -based is thus made articul- ate; that is, in the parlance of the theatre, it "gets over," and "it gets over" very decisively. Interest in | the acting is centred in no-one. part Percy Parsons, player of '"Nobody," would seem, perhaps, to be the most impressive of the players, and if all women were as beautiful as Miss Paula Bhay as '"Everywoman' who in statuesque form and beautiful face is fitted to assume the ideal of jal her sex, the feminine world would be nid of many of its pro- blems. . "Everywoman"" should oe i seen by all who champion the ideal and the beautiful in everyday life. i "Everywoman' comes to the Grand on Saturday, Sept. 7th, matinee and night. | At Griffin's. | This evening will positively be the last opportunity aPMorded patrons in this city to see the celebrated Her- bert Brown triumph, "The Lone Wolf." This pleture has proven tremendously popular with Kings- ton audiences during the last two days, and is well worth a visit to this theatre to-night, Handsome Bert Lytell and Hazel Dawn play the principal characters with fin- fshed artistry, making 'The Lone Wolf" a picture to be remembered jong after being seen. to this superb feature picture, the great new serial, "A Fight for Mil- lons," Is shown in its second chap- ter, with William Duncan playing to excellent advantage in a thrilling role. , DRIFTED INTO CAMP, Did Accident i. Docur During Squall : on Wednesday Morning. Was there «a Bien accident? On Wednesday morning a canoe, which contained a couple of oars, floated in near Cedar Camp, Dead Man's Bay, the summer home of A. W. MdMahon, and this led to She 'belief that some persons or per might have been caught in the pas rible squall which prevailed on the lake and river all day. There was gg considerable water in the boat. It may be that the canoe broke away from some of the river land- ings. Mr. MdMahon advertised ihe "finding of the canoe in to-day's Whig.
