This will be among the first | of the cities to witness a play which | for ten years has been a very popular | one, and which has been played in| Great Britain with success as in Aus- | tralia and America.--Advt. . "Mademoiselle of Bully Grenay." "The P. B. I, or Mademoiselle of | Bully Grenay," is a unique produec- tion in so far as it is a true-to-life war-play, epitomizing the spirit of the Canadian troops and the good- natured, good-humored Johnny | Canuck, as he did his daily "hit" | in France in the spring of 1918. What was the keystone that held the | Canadian Corps areh of war-fame in | place? What was it that made these boys turn from happy sky-larking | youths in rest-billets to-day to such | fiends incarnate in no-man's-land to- | morrow? It was the spirit of the British army confidently handed over by the old Contemptibles to the Can- | adians. The play gives again that | wonderful spirit, true and natural, | for the cast is made up of ex-service | men exclusively, living once again {the days spent in France, and will { be at the Grand Opera House Monday {night, 20th Sept.--Advt. i m---- { Coming to The Grands | For real hilarity, catchy music and real dancing all presented in pictorial | surroundings that will surely delight {the eye, the '"'Katzenjammer Kids," {the newest cartoon musical comedy {is recommended as the one best bet {of the season.

A real fashion I plate chorus, with some of the fair- {est flowers from the world's beauty { market, Broadway, is one of the at- | tractive features of the big show. These girls, dressed in costume {exquisite and backed by beautiful scenic pictures are a delight to the {eye. And they can sing and dance. | From the rise of the curtain novelty | follows novelty in the "Katzenjam- mer Kids." Virgil Bennett, who is responsible for the staging of the piece, has keyed the action of this musical' comedy up to the highest pitch and as a result he has a show {that defies the speed limit when it comes to singing, dancing' and com- edy.--Advt. At the Strand. From the sordid slums of New | York's Chinatown to the grandeur {of high mountains and the majesty of the ocean--that is the range of the setting in "The Miracle Man," |2 big new Paramount-Artcraft pic- | ture, which is coming to the Strand theatre next Monday. The céntral figure is a white-haired patriarch reputed to heal the sick and crippled. Tom Burke and his band | read of his miracles and frame up for him. To their surprise they discover that he really possesses the healing powers accredited to him, Gradually under the beneficient in- fluence of their new 'environment there is 'worked a transformation in the hearts of the crooks. In the hands of such capable artists as Thomas Meighan, Elinor Fair, Joseph J. Dowling, Betty Compson, and others of similar merit, this powerful story becomes a vital, liv- ing thing and one of the greatest | dramatic spectacles the screen has yet revealed.--Advt. At Griffin's. To-night will be the last oppor- | tunity to see the delightful pro- gramme which 'has been pleasing | Griffin patrons during the last two | days and is headlined by Mabel | Normand in "Upstairs." The popu- lar star is seen to splendid advan- tage in this production which is filled "with the funniest situations imaginable. On the same pro- gramme is shown the fourth episode of "Bound and Gagged," that start- ling serial of intermingled laughs, thrills and suspense, in which the noted actor, George I. Heitz; and Marguerite Courtot play the leading roles. To round out a good pro- gramme a special Sunshine comedy entitled "Ten Nights Without a Bar Room' lends the right finish to a worth-while programme which is sure to be enjoyed by all who see it, To-night this bill will be shown for the last time.--Advt. ~ NAPANEE NEWS.
