It required six months to make the wonderful screen production, "The | Virgin of Stamboul," which is the | feature at the Grand Opera House | to-night. In reproducing great desert scenes--and -in-bringing to life the | characters in their Oriental costumes |a very heavy expenditure was en- tailed, running, it is said, close to $500,000. There are thousands of players in the mighty cast. Whole streets and mosques in oki Stamboul | have been reproduced with unfailing fidelity. Far-flung scenes of the Arabian desert, camel caravans and Turkish cavalry, and wild riding Black Horse Troopers; these give but the faintest ideas as to the magni- tude of ter production. "The Virgin of Stamboul" has for its star the vivacious beauty, Priscilla Dean, and it is a drama that will fill the mind, eye and the heart of everyone who sees it.--Advt, "Enlighten Thy Daughter." Rev. Thomas B. Gregory, New York, has the following to say re- garding the wonderful feature, "En- lighten Thy Daughter," which comes to the Grand Opera House, June 3rd, 4th and 5th. Let up enough on the other things, mothers, to enable you to have these all-essential talks with your daughters, because if you don't you may be mighty sorry for it later on. Your daughter, mother, so sweet and innocent and beautiful, is no more sacred to the human wolf, than any other girl, and if you give him the chance he will destroy that dar- ling of yours, just as another sort of tf destroys the lamb. Now this great photoplay gets after the human wolf in. terrible fashion, and handles Rim just as he deserves to be handled. Let mothers see Lilian the "unenlightened girl', and they will swear that, God helping them, their dear daughters shall not meet with Lillan's terrible fate. The picture is immense, to say it all in a word-- immense, immense, immense; and may it meet with the full measure of success that it so richly deserves.-- Advt. "Mademoiselle of Bully Grénay." "The P. B. 1." is ardently icono- clastic in its outlook on the war, but in place of the images or clay which it destroys it tries to create gods of truer metal. The most popular con- ception is that all French girls are frivolous and free from the restraint of all convention. 'Mademoiselle of Bully Grenay"" shows them in truer colors. Similarly, our troops are gen- erally supposed to have spent half their time in England on leave and the other half in slaughtering Ger- mans in sanguinary ba) onet charges. "The Poor Bally Infantry" shows their "leave" to be largely a matter of inspection parades in the "rest" billet at Bully Grenay. In short, "The P. B. 1." strives not only for realism in stage-setting but also in the delineation of character. In war truth was both nobler and more dramatic than fiction. This play comes to the Grand Opera House for one night only, Monday, June 7th.-- Advt. "Red Riding Hood." F, Stuart-Whyte's brilliant Eng-| 7 lish pantomine, "Little Red Riding Hood" will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House for a two days return, commencing Tuesday, June 8. This is Mr, Whyte's fourth annual importation from England and it is sald to surpass in every way his three former offerings, "Aladdin," ""Robin- son Crusoe" and "Cinderella." This has been made possible by the com- ing of peace and the release of many of the foremost pantomine artists who were either in the army or tied up with war work. Then again, the Parisian costumers are back on the Job, and many examples of their dainty artistry are to be seen among the gorgeous gowns worn by the cast and chorus.--Advt. ; At 's. To-night will be the last chance to see :H. Ince's wonder picture, "Dangerous Hours," which has prov- en so popular with Griffin audi- ences during the past two days. The picture is in no respect a preacher, but a spectacular, thrilling story de- veloped along the large scale lines for which Ince productions are fam- ous. The central figures is a young visionary who feels called upon to help the working classes, and through the machinations of a female red cer, again reveals her expertness as an interpreter of the human emo- chore that is one of her outstanding gifts. You cannot afford to miss this superlative' attraction. An afternoon or evening spent with us, we are sure, will De one of the greatest plea- sure and profit.--Advt. JAPAN WILL RENEW BRITISH ALLIANCE Considers Pact Desirable as & Negative Instrument for Peace. Tokio, June 2.--The Cabinet has decided to open negotiations for a re- newal and revision of the Anglo-Ja- paneese alliance which Great Brit- ain is sald to be willing to maintain with modifications, according to the Yomi-Uri Shimbun. Though some of the covenants will be changed to harmonize with the league of na- tions the newspaper says it is believ- ed there wij} be no alteration of the principle 4 regard to safeguarding the peace of Eastern Asia and the [futegrity of China, and maintenance of the rights and special interests of Japan and Great Britain in the far east. Marquis S8higenobu Okuma, former premier, has {asued a statement say- ing that although the downfall of Russia and Germany has removed the original positive reasons for the alliance, the uncertain conditions in China and Siberia and the agitation on the part of the Mohammedans of Southern Asia make a renewal of the pact desirable as a negative instru- ment of peace. British Prices Start Dropping. London, June 2.--The continued rise in prices received its first set- back yesterday when Selfridge's store announced a general cut of ten per cent on all articles except groceries, the reductjen in which will be five per cent. The announcement has been hailed by a general chorus of satisfaction and the hope is expres- sed that other large shops will follow the example. \ Is a Rhodes Scholar. (Canadian Press Despatch) Edmonton, June 2.--Walker Dun- ham, B.A., Lethbridge, was award- ed the Rhodes Scholarship for 1920 by the Alberta committee of select- ion for Rhodes scholarships at a recent meeting of the committee. He will enter upon a three year course of study at Oxford in January, 1921, To Turn Denmark Into Republic. Copenhagen, June 2.--The Social- ists, the second largest party in the Danish Rigsdag have decided to put forward amendments to the constitu- tion of Denmark. These provide for a republic instead of a kingdom, and Government by a State Council, the chairman of which will also be presi- dent of the republic.
