WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1922 THE DAILY ERITISH WHIG. _--_-- AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Coming Attractions \, Tonight Uncle Tom's Cabin, There has never been so lavish and adequate a production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as that which William H. Kibble will offer amusement lovers at the Grand Opera House to- night. . The scenes which are large enough to fll the most spacious stage could not easily be Improved. Those representing the Ohio River in win- ter, the Rocky Pass In which George Harris proteets his family, the St. Claire plantation, the leveé at New Orleans, the cotton fields in full bloom, and the "Celestial City" are the most notable effects. Each pic- tures the reality as closely as paint and cafivas will permit and the stage perspective is so deep that the er- fect is exceptionally pleasing. The company Is also worthy of the envir- onment. Gus Collins, the eminent minstrel star, offers an excellent etpdy of Unele Tom.--Advt, ---- Rex Stock Company. 'The Spenders" er 'Foolish Wiv- es" will be presented by the Rex Stock Company for the last three nights of this week, with a special matinee on Good Friday, and the us- ual matinee on Saturday afternoon. "The Spenders" teaches a great and wonderful lesson to not only mar- ried couples, but more so to young couples intending matrimony. You --Mr. Husband are you a good hus- d; Oh I don't mean are you a good provider, for perhaps you are "Too Geod. Do you lavish every- thing on a wife that doesn't appre- elate it, and thus hurt her life rath- r tham help it. And You Madam; have you neglected your duties as a ite, and denied your obtigations as & mother; Are you prior, an mo- thers don't have time to be selfish. Are you a "Spender" and a "Wast.- r."" There seems little doubt.that "The Spenders" will create a stir in local theatricals that will echo down the ages.--Advt, "My-Boy" To Break Records. Extensive preparations are being made by Manager Smithers of the Allerr theatre for the forthcoming showing of "My Boy," an Associated First National attraction, starring ttle Jackie Coogan, which is to be shown there for an engagement of three days, starting tomorrow. * 'Due to the popularity of this dimi- mutive star, Manager Smithers is an- ticipating crowded houses. "Pecks Bad Boy," his previous starring ve- hicle, took the country by storm and "My Boy" is expected io outdo that production. "My Boy," was written especially for Jackie, and contains a story Which 1s eminently fitted to his tal- ents. Combining humor and pathos, it is a tale which is particularly grip- ping and effective. It was produced by Sol Lesser, and the sterling cast fncludes Claude Dillingwater and thilda Brundage. {The story is that 1f*little Jackie Blair, who land in New York home- less and frieridless.

The police authorities are satisfied that the gang of gypsies who visited Kingston recently did not enter the home of Hon. Dr. J. W. Edwards, at | Cataraqui, one evening last week and carry off a quantity of silverware and lHnen valued at $300, On Tues- day afternoon, Provincial Constable Clarke, who has been chasing the gang for the past few days, located the caravan near Belleville, After presenting his search warrant, he maded a close investigation of all the belongings of the tribe, and he was satisfied that they did not have any- thing belonging to the Cataraqui home. During the search, the con- stable found the gypsies had a num- ber of live chickens, believed to have been stolen, Along the line of march, the gypsies have been causing a lot of trouble. A Pittsburg resident states that recently, when a member of the tribe visited his farm, the man in- sisted on his being allowed to leave a horse on his property over night. When told that he would have to take the animal away, the gypsy stated that the Pittsburg farmer was a "mean man." When the stranger got out on the road, he scratched a Belleville, Ont., April 13.--A par- ty of gypsies, consisting of a man, two women and four children, were today apprehended by the police here.

BELMONT | | METHODIST SERVICE, Conducted in Queen Street Church Tuesday Evening. The combined congregations of the Methodist churches of the city held a specia] service in Queen street church on Tuesday evening, conduet- ed by Rev. R. H. Bell. There was a good attendance. During the ser- vice, Mrs. Treneer rendered a solo. Rev. Gordon A. Sisco preached on the trial of Ohrist before Herod. He brought out the fact that during the trial'scenes, the characters of the dif- ferent judges is seem against the background of Christ's Ife, thus making their eins stand out in bold relief. This was not the trial of Christ before Herod, but rather the trial of Herod before Jesus. Herod longed to see Jesus work some miracle to help htm. FMerod was past help, and the silence of Jesus was Herod's aptritual eondem- nation. Herod was good up to the point of self-sacrifice, and there he stopped. The offence of the Oross in our age is not that it reveals the love of God, because all of us are eager to find evidence of that fact; but if Christ obtained our "salvation by dying upon the Cross, what man- ner ought we to be ? The Cross chal- lenges us to give up ourselves ecom- pletely, and to unconditionally sur- render to the will of Christ, Herod lost his throne, was exiled, and as far as we know, his life was a failure and his death clouded in darkness, The greatest tragedy that could happen to a soul is that it should so live that the voice of the Spirit failed to speak to it. Every soul has its psychological moments, when it is folly to refuse the right choice, CREWS ARE REPORTING As Freight Vessels are About Ready to Clear. Most of the vessels of the Key- stone Line are nearly ready to begin their long summer schedule of sall- ings, and with steam up and the final preparations being made, the decks of the different boats are bustling with workmen.
