Be sure to seq this programme, which also includes a special Victory bond pic- inre, and also a Charlie Chaplin and "Fatty" Arbuckle in a Mack Seimett comedy. At the Strand Two of the most interesting photo- plays that have been presented here in some time were witnessed by the crowds at the Strand last evening. Mae Marsh, In "The Glorious Adven- ture," kept the audience full of mer- riment all through the play. The role she has to play is comical, yet much different. With one silver dollar she ventures farth and ob- tains love, happiness, adventure amd romance "A Japanese Nightin- gale," starring Fanny Ward, is cer- tainly the most beautiful and inter- esting photoplay seen here in some time. The plot is laid in Japan, and the producers have given the public something very unusual in this five- act drama. Miss McAllister again thrilled her audience with some very high class selections that were re- ceived with very much. enthusiasm by all. PREPARE FOR 1919, at is well for the citizens to re- flect that the year 1919 will be pro- bably the most important in Kings- ton's history. It will be reconstrue- tion year, when the troops will he coming home and when large pro- blems will have to be handled. A council composed of men of initia- | tive and energy will be the city's need. Things have been "standing still" civically during the past three yéars, owing to the action of the authorities in deciding to permit no civic construction work that was not actually needed. Mayor Hughes himself has borne the brunt of the civic government during his two years of office. Upon his shoulders rested the bulk of the burden, large- ly in connection with military mat- ters, and he stands forth as one of the most efficient chief magistrates | Kingston has ever had. No other mayor has had so much to do. He now seeks a rest and desires to commit to other hands the large hurdens he has borne. The man who would succeed him at this time will have a hard year to face. He should therefore possess special qualifications and be thoroughly | trained in civic affairs. It would be well for the citizens to see that the whole council they choose be then Who will be able to tackle large problems, and "while safeguarding the city to also put on enough steam to make Kingston go forward. | { The General Misunderstood, | ~ Brigadier-General Hemming says he has been misunderstood, that any thought he had in regard to his re- 'tirement was based on the deeision of the Militia Devartment. If it thinks he can be of value during the jcoming days he Is at its service. | Whatever action is taken it would not oceur until after next July, The | general feels that the heavy strain ,under which he has worked will be | relieved to an appreciable extent, and with a little relaxation his health, | which hitherto 'has been fairly rug- | ged, will be restored. or ------------------------------ = Entertained Soldiers.
