Wholsale 1767, a THE Theatrical Coming to the Grand, For Wednesday only of this week the management of the Grand offers a special one day programme. of fea- ture pictures, Herbert 'Rawlinson the popular young star of motion pic- tures will be seen in an extra good Jeature entitled-':A Dangerous Affair Many will' remember the splendid work of this star when he was seen in offers him a vehicle that culd be desired. There will be ano- ther fine feature entitled "The Flame 1g " starring the well known on-Cole star, Meatrize Michel This is a play of the oid west, with plenty of action, and wonderful scenic backgrounds. There is a spec- ially selected supporting cast in this photoplay. There will be reels of good comedy and an excellent musi- cal programme of the latest popular by the Grand's orchestra. This bill willbe seen for the one day only --Advt. is-all that PUBIC Al Jolson in '*Sinbad." Al Jolson, the chief cook of jocular joy, otherwise the world's greatest entertainer, will be seen here in the nter Garden's oriental travesty ; bad' at the Grand Opera House Sept. 9th. Mr, Jolson will repeat in Kingston the truly enormous success 1at he has enjoyed in this extrava- anza, based on the Arabian Nights, | "Sinbad" is indeed an aval of oriental opu- en as n fent as mid- night sun. In this incomparable ex- travaganza there are fourteen glitter- | ing gorgeous and hilarious scenes | and through them all the inimitable | Jolson frisks and frolics, producing | gales upon gales of laughter. During | the eight years in which Al Jolson has been the star of the Winter Gar- | den he has never before had such an { ample budget of comic ditties and'in | the singing of a comic song Al Jol- son has no rival. In "Sinbad" he im- personates Inbad the Porter, a role | which gives him ample portunity | for the display of his extraordinary | abilities as a singer of comic song | and as an all round laugh producer. | "Sinbad" itself is a departure in a fway from the Winter Garden tradi- | tions, insomuch that there is no sug- { gestion of a review in its construc- | tion, It is pure extravaganza after | the manner of the English pantomi- | me, In point of lavishness "Sinbad" { establishes a new record for the Win- | ter Carden, and that for an institu- { tion famous for its prolepticacy in scenic and satorial investiture. Other than Al Jolson, the more important | members of the cast are: | ner, Fritzi von Busing, Virginis Smith, Irene and Constance Farber, Leah Norah, Rebekah Cauble, Ritz Zalmani, Lawrence D"Orsay, Forrest Huff, Franklyn A. Batie, Earnest Hare, Johnny Berkes, Frank Grace, John Ke George Harry Kearly and Frank Holmes.-- Advt. other cities arious. uj the 'ney, , 'My Soldier Girl." When the brilliant musical spec- tacle, "My Soldier Girl," offering an | lLentire new version, makes its bow before local theatergoers at the Grand Opera House, Friday and Sat- urday, Sept. 10th and 11th with a special matinee on Saturday. the rea- son for the success of this popular musical play will impress itself upon | the audience at once. There is action both in music and dialogue from the [rise to fall of the final curtain, Sce- nic beauty and gorgeous costumes de- light. the eye and tuneful money or hard work or experience to prepare such a production as is to | be seen in "My Soldter-Girl," The | excellent cast and bewitching beauty chorus help to make the performance complete while the, tuneful music is « a tower of strength, since it ig of the sort that makes the head "nod" and the foot '"'tap." There are two acts--the first, opens at Miami, Florida, during a lawn fete', given at Colonel Stone's { home in honor of '"'overseas" boys and girls, whom he had the pleasure | of meeting during his own personal | service while "over there" with the Red Cross. The last act is an elabor- | ate stage setting for The Follies, which is in its fina] dress rehearsal and presents a shower of gold and | silver. Nothing prettier has been pro- duced than "My Soldier Girl" preg | ents in its little story.--Advt. At the Strand. Ethel Clayton's new picture "Young Mrs. Winthrop," which came | to the Strand theatre last evening for a three days' run, will please, be- cause it is about the kind of folks | you and I know. Misg Clayton has the role-of a young: and pleasure-loving wife, not at al] in sympathy with her husband, | who has his nose to the business | grindstone. Their differences re- j sult in an estrangement when a flirt- | atious widow comes upon the scene and involves the young husband in an uncompromising situation. Only the young married couple's five-year. old child, Rosie, seems able to hold husband and wife together. When Rosie dies, under startlingly drama- tle circumstances, the bonds seem severed. But unexpectedly the situ- ation is saved. The star is prettier than ever and shows a rare sympathy with her role. Her performance is excellent as Is that of Harrison Ford as the young husband. J. M. Dumont, Walter Hiers, Raymond Hatton, and Charles Ogle are also among those in the supporting cast.--Advt, ' At Griffin's, Louis Bennison knows how to pur chase the makings of a laugh in every situation in which he finds him self. This talent is delightfully ex- ploited in his latest Betzwood pro- duction, "A Misfit Earl" which was shown at Griffin's last evening to a crowded house, every person pre- sent claiming this picture to be one of the most entertaining and clever- | 8st productions ever witnessed, In | this production Louis Bennison plays i tae part of a cowboy who inherits | an English Lord's estate which is stolen from him by distant relatives. | 4 splendid supporting , in "A Misfit Earl" whieh includes | Claire Adams the beautiful Canadian | actress who made such a name for | herself in the production "The Enq 'of the Road." An unusual bit of | child acting is furnished by six-year- | old Samuel Ross, whose understand- | Ing of the work demanded of him | | i | j Jegulted in an intelligent and wholly | © Qelightful performance.
