'In "Ene- | mies" Rex will do perhaps the finest | bit of acting he has ever done here. The role of the hero and Lover will go to Big Herbert Lewis.

BRANSBY WILLIAMS IN . A RETURN ENGAGEMENT | ~ To-night at the Grand the attrac- | tion will be a romantic French | drama presented by Bransby Wil-| liams and his all-English company | who have just returned from the | Coast, where the play was receiv-! jed with great enthusiasm by large | audiences. "Vidoeq" is founded on | the character of the famous French | | BRANSBY WILLIAMS As Peggoty, in the revival of Dick- ens' "David Copperfield," at the Grand to-morrow afternoon, | aceactive of that name, before he became the great man. He appears a8 a young sea captain in love with the daughter of an old aristocrat, | the Vicomte de Bernal. The period { and action of the play takes place in gris in the early part of the 19th entury during the Consulate of Na- poleon and the First Empire. The times were unsettled and ruffanism often rampant. Vidoeq is arrested i | whose greatness predominated dur- | {ing her lite, and still lives. i Mary Pickford!

In "Rosita" Miss Pickford has entered into her right- ful heritage of glorious vital, al- luring womanhood on the screea. While her role of Rosita in the new picture is a distinct, though temporary departure from her port- rayals of childhood, it is not by far her first emotional role, "THE FOG." "The Fog,'" which is now playing | at the Strand Theatre today is one of the 'outstanding productions or | he year, according to advance re-, ports received here. This Metro picture combines every element which goes into the making of a screen masterpiece. The story, by William Pelly, is chock full of] thrills, pathos and beautiful ro-| mance, And the absorbing story .is made to live on the screen by one of the most distinguished groups of play- ers ever assembled for one picture, The cast includes Mildred Marris, Louise Fazenda, Cullen Landis, Ralph Lewis ahd David Butler, -------------- G.W.V.A. Smoker. Held in the Last Night. A very enjoyable smoker was held last night in the rooms of the Great War Veterans' Association. The members and their friends gather. ed in large numbers. The programme | had these numbers: Mr. HMincks, sev- eral vocal solos; Sgt. Middleton, vo- cal solos; H. H. Metcalfe, recitation; Capt. Macdonald, recitation; H. H. Smith, mouth organ; C._J.

Association For the Circulation Department Of The British Whig. The following letter was received on suspicion of murder and sent to | the gallows. - Making his escape he finds that he was allowed to do so by the Paris police, who suspect him to be a mémber of a notorious crim- inal society them prominent and whom the police are unable to trace. Vidoeq really knows nothing about them, but is given two weeks to find them. He disguises himself and gets | into the gang. disguises are so i quick that it is bewildering to the ['sudience to detect which is Vidoeq or people in the scene. The drama abounds with hair breadth escapes and thrills of excitement. Bransby Williams plays six different charac- ers necessitating 'a change of cos- fume fifteen times. Leslie Barrie, 'who had the part of Copperfield, now takes the part gf the leader of the notorious criminals; Eric Wil- Hams, son of the famous actor, has the part of Chief of Police; Made- leine Temple, the old Mrs. Gum- midge, plays the dificult part of | mistress of the leading gangster, while Uriah Heep, in the person of Fred, Forrest, now is secretary to the police chief. Tomorrow afternoon Dickens' "David Copperfield" will be revived, and at night a charming domestic play, "Tatterley" will be presented. ---- MARY PICKFORD'S ART HOLDS HER PUBLIO To achleve greatne:s is one thing; to retan it is another.

Great artists, inventors, iculptors, writers, and poets, whose work eventually enlighten the world, ofttimes live by the Whig Circulation Department in Monday's mail and it is certainly an encouraging start for the year 1924. These are few and far be- tween: "Wagarville, On. "Gentlemen, This is the first time I have written to the Whig but 1 have been reading it all my life. I think it je the best all-round paper printed.
