Those who knew Mark Twain wil! grieve that the mouse in which he spent the last years of his life is now a thing of the past, since it was burn- ed early yesterday morning. - it was a great house, a noted ome, but Cle- mens saw more sorrow than joy in it. Sorrow was his portion alter the death of Mrs. Clemens-and the new home in Redding became for him the scene of ihe sudden death of a daughter and the place where his own life ebbed. Stormflold was buflt according to Mark Twain's pians, but he entered it after life had ceased to have charms for him.

Pala Negri's first appearance in an American made Paramount picture, "Bélla Donna," produced by George Fitzmaurice was greeted with mark- ed enthusiasm at the Allen theatre last night. Jd this absorbing picturization of Robert Hichen's famous movel, Miss Negri marries a young Englishman wlio has just returned from an expe- dition in the Egyptian desert. On thexr honeymoon they return to that country so that Nigel (Conrad Nag- el) may continue nis work. The East lays a hypnotic spell on Bella Donna and when she meets Mabamoud Bar- oudi (Conway Tearle), and intensely dramatic events ensue. . The love affair between the pair continues for a period, when Bar- oudi suggests that Bella Donna frec herself by poisoning her husband. Nigel Armine is slowly wasting away as the result of slow poisoning but is saved by the intervention of his friend, Dr. Isaacson (Claude King) Learning the truth, Nigel casts his wife out, who, now free, joyfully makes her way to Baroudi's camp. He, however, is with another woman, and brutally orders hpr away. Bella Donna goes out alone into the de- sert, a tragic figure. Miss Negri has set the world astir by her foreign made pictures, but this, her first American made pro- duction, oversaadows them all. It is, all in all, a superb phetodrama, Conway Tearle, fin the role of Ma- hamoud Baroudi, makes an unusually sinister villain, while Conrad Naggl is excellent as the meek, unsuspect- ing husband, Nigel Armine. Others in the cast arq Lois Wilson, as Pa- tricia, Nigel's finanoee; Macey Har- lan and Robert Schable. This is the nearest all-star cast cover seca in any picture. "BRASS" Spellbound is the adjective des- criptive of the state of mind of the audience that beheld "Brass" at its opening yesterday at the Strand Theatre, where it will be shown for a three day run. The ideal combin- ation of a good corking story and an all-star cast contributes to this, especially the acting of Monte Blue, the leading feature -player,--a---tall strapping youth of boundless per- sonality and superb powers. "Brass" deals with marriage and divorce; Philip and Marjorie Bald- win, the principal characters, are married but miserable. "A bother- some: mother-in-law helps fan the flames of discord, and Marjorie tires of hubby, home and babe, finding more pleasures in cafe life wrth fast friends. The climax, plus = fascinating diversity. of love : epi- sodes, follows this situation. Monte Blue as Philip leaves nota- ing to be desired; the came applies to Marie Prevost as Marjorie. Oth- ers in the well-chosen cast include Harry Myers, Vera Lewis, %rene Rich, Frank Keenan," Miss Dupont, Margaret Seddon, Helen Ferguson, Eqward Jobson, Harvey Clerk, Cy- ril Chadwick, Pat O'Malley, Ger- trude Bennet and Ethel Grey Terry.

SPORTING NEWS ---- TANNERS OUTHIT, Seven Runs in Second Was Too Big A Handicap. In ihe intermediate O.B.A-A. piay- off at Picton yesterday, the Kingston team went down to defeat as Lhe re- sult of a bad second inning. The pitching of Croft and Quinn was about even, but the Picton players batted more effectively and fAelded more surely behind their man. In the second inning Picton se- cured seven runs and the Kingsion squad could mot 'overtake them, though they made the rest of the game interesting. A strange diamond and a little stage fright handicapped them and they could not sblve Croft's pitching well enough to climb the long run ladder. Karl Qumn pitched throughout for Kingston. His team's only run came in the fourth. There Wwas-a good attendance and the umpiring of Colling and Barpes was satisfac. tory. The local intermediates are con- filent of their ability to turn the tables on Friday when Picton is bii- led to play here. ° Six hits in the second, with an er- ror by J. Quinn and another by La- Rush; accounted for the sevem runs. Picton also"scored in the sixth and in the eighth. Croft has fifteen strikeouts and™Quinn seven. Picton banged out tem safe hits and King- ston eight. The Kingston team had eight men left on sacks and Picton four. by innings. -- Picton .-- 0 7 0 1 1 Kingston -- 0 0 0 0 0 0--1 Kingston -----: ghawless, 3b; A. Quinn, 1b; Compeau, ss; Larush, 2b; J.
