"Two-Gun Betty' is the title of the | Robertson-Cole tive-reel feature that is showing at. the Grand to-night and Friday, and it has for its star the | popular motion picture actress, Bes- { sie Barriscale. The plot of this pic- | ture is a delightful one, dealing with {a bet made by an Eastern girl that she can pass as a boy on her chum's | cattle ranch. The fun starts when | she arrives at the ranch, and the {cowboys, knowing who she is, make life miserable for her and very amus- ing for the spectator. There is an- other big feature, "Burnt Wings," starring Frank Mayo. This picture |is' taken from the novel by Bayard | Veiller, "The Primrose Path." It is {the story of the testing of a young {| American girl, of the familiar saying that there is always money in Paris for a pretty woman.

"Keeping Up With the Joneses." | The hit of the season may be apt- ly applied to the latest Gus Hill tri- | umph, "Keeping Up With the Jones- es" which is to be-th®& next attraction 'at the Grand Opera House on Sat- urday, May 15th, with a special mat- inee. i This new play is based on the pop- ular cartoons of Pop Momand whose | acreamingly funny creations first appeared in the pages of the New { York Globe. It was Mr. Hill who THE DAIL | first saw the possibilities of bringing | cartoon to life, as attested by the | success of "Mutt and Jeff" and "Bringing up Father." Those who {have seen this latest landslide of {laughter claim that in point of popu- {larity it will surely eclipse the Success of any musical comedy of its kind offered hereabouts in seasons. If millions have enjoyed the cartoons it is easy to predict that -millions more will enjoy the play. Startling surprises, plenty of singing, dancing and novelties, pretty women, glitter- |ing costumes, a large and capable | cast, jingling and effervescent music, | fantasy and sensational features, { comprise this contribution. It is a | show built on unusual lines and cal- | culated to set a new departure in | productions which will be difficult for other managers .to emulate--Advt. Coming to the Grand. At the Grand Opera House next week, commencing Monday evening, Lindsay E. Perrin presents Miss Ar- lie Marks and her associated players in a number of latest comedy-dramas including "The Golden Rule," "The Brat," "The Girl From Out Yonder" and other successful plays. The play will be changed nightly, every play having special scenery, with inter- esting vaudeville between acts. Miss Marks has been surrounded by the best acting company that could be procured, and the plays are all late New York successes, especiallly "The Brat,' in which Arlie Marks excels. This was the biggest hit made in New York city, and has been made famous in the movies. The company will open their engagement with "The Brat" next Monday evening. --Advt. ------ At Griffin's. To-day will see the opening chap- ters of "The Lost City" at Griffin's, the stupendous production which was secured at the highest figure ever of- fered for any production heretofore shown. Introducing scenes never be- fore enacted on any screen. Words cannot describe its breathless sus- pense, filled with unbelievable deeds of daring and w== beasts of the jungle slain before the very camera's eye. Deep into ¢he jungle went the daring company of players to emact the scenes of this thrilling story, braving the very jaws of death in their. determination to picture the terrifying dangers of these strange lands, uncivilized people and feroci- ous beasts. Nothing like it has been shown before, and nothing like it will be shown again. Bach episode is more spectacular than the other. Re- member the uit chapters begin to- day. In addition to this great gup- Ject, the popular Thomas H: Inbe star, Charles Ray, will be shown in his newest and best .photoplay, "Crooked Straight." It's about a small town youth who goes to the city to make his fortune, falls into temptation and. becomes the accom- plice of crooks, then returns to the little village and makes good with a splendid opportunity to display his |} athletic prowess, and also shines in |. the brand new sideline-safe cracking.

'JAMES BREBNER, L.LD. Toronto University Registrar, a Man | Who Merits Recognition. Toronto Globe. James Brebner, Registrar of the | University of Toronto, who received | from Queen's University the degree | of L.L.D. ad honoris causa, is & man | who truly merits the recognition. | He comes of a teaching ancestry. His | father, Donald Brebner, born in| Banffshire, in the north of Scotland, | was-a teacher, and for many years! inspector of Schoels in the county of | Lambton, a position he held at the time of his death, and his mother, a Border woman, was a teacher, and taught in the schools of Middlesex. James Brebner was born in London, going as a small boy to Sarnia. Be- tween 1878 and 1880 he taught in vaNpus country schools, going to Brantford Collegiate in 1881, where he remained for three years, gaining, under Dr. Donald MacGillivray, a taste for the classics that "he has never lost. During this time Mr. Brebner took his first year at the University---a common practice in those days. In the fall of 1884 he taught in the Model School at Forest, and in January, 1885, became"classi- cal and English master at the high school in Petrolea. The autumn of | 1886 found him at Varsity, but ill- ness interfered and he did not get his year. The needs of the college library loomed large about this time, and young Brebner, who was known to have developed into the all-round type of scholar, was selected as the man to be made student-assistant to the librarian. In 1890 came the fire at the University, and as a Te- sult of the disaster Mr. Brebner was forced to give his whole time to the minim I reconstruction of the library, and so was unable to go.up for his degree. till 1891. In January, 1892, he was made assistant registrar; in the Jan- uary following registrar; since which time he has presided over the destin- les of many hundreds of students, winning not only their respect, but their affectionate regard, and adding unto himself, little by little, a depth and a breadth of scholarship that has made a sistér university desire 'to honor herself in honoring him. FARMER PUT TOWNSHIP TO EXPENSE OF $800 Because He Thought He 'Was Charged Seventy-one Cents Too Much Taxes. Meaford, May 13.--A case that probably is without! precedznt in the annals of Canadian law courts, has just been disposed of by Judge Su- therland in the Division court here. R. J. Orr, a farmer residing at Fair- mount, about eight miles from Mea- ford, sued the township of Euphra- sia for the recovery of 71 cents, which he claimed to have overpaid the township collector in the 'way of taxes. The plaintiff, in his testi- mony, stated that he had been at a loss of $58.67 in trying to have the alleged error rectified. In the mean- time Orr had a petition circulated alleging that the township treas- irer was behind in his accounts, and asking that his books be audited by a chartered atocuntant. This was done, and the result was that the hooks were found to be correct, with the exception of a few cents. The audit cost the township $800, The judge dismissed the action with costs to the plaintiff. It is said the town- ship council will bring action against Orr for the recovery of the amount paid for the audit. : Imm NT CURRIE APPOINTMENT A NOTABLE EXAMPLE The London Times Says Bold- ness and Optimism Ex- pected of Dominions. London, May 13.--The London Times in an article on the speech by Sir Lomer Gouin on the bright pros- pects of Quebec, says: "The outlook of the province of Quebec is boldly optimistic, but bold- ness and optimism are qualities we expect from our Dominions. They are as indigenous to the soil as the originality and breadth of conception which Canada herself has given us a notable example of in the proposed selection of the great military com- mander, Sir Arthur Currie, to di- rect the fortunes of McGHl Univer- sity."' » HANSON, CROZIER & EDGAR P S Market Square, Kingston DAILY MEMORANDUM.
