The best part of the programme running the last three days of the week at the Capitol is undoubtedly the vaudeville at of Dwan and Murray, the name under which two charming young ladies entertain with vocal and piano selections High class, polite, and pleasing are only | three of the adjectives which might be used to describe it. "Black, Oxen" in the production is all right, but the plot of the pic- ture is nothing to go into raptures over. Gertrude Athérton has perpet- rated some fantastic yarns and this is one of them. A woman of sixty is rejuvenated for the sake of her country and finds herself as beaut! i ful a8 twetity once more. She 1éaves her aged-sweetheart in Austria and comes to Ametica to raise monay for the "cause" (there's always s "'cause'") but falls in love with handsome Lee Clavering in the pro- cess. However, the American flap- || per won out eventually and the 'old resurrected bag of bones" went back to her Austria. The mystery is why her white-haired old lover'did not do the rejuvenation stunt alse and even things up, but evidently Gert. rude Atherton does not approve of rejuvenating men. The same -programme will shown to-night and Saturday. be "HOODMAN BLIND" IS : FILLED WITH ACTION Few recent pictures, or for that matter, few of any vintage at all, are as replete with action, naturally done and well photographed, as the William Fox screen version of "Hoodman. Blind," from the,neted old stage play of a generation ago. Gladys Hulette has the dual role played at Wallack's in New York by Anne Robie, and David Butler has the 'part opposite her which was played by Wilson Barrett, co-author of the stage piece. The marine scenes, showing an actual ship- wreck, together with others of thril- lingly realistic fights, are exception- al. 'Hoodman Blind" playing the Strand theatre to-day.

NI : Mrs. Andrew Miller passed away Saturday evening, at her home on Owen street, Picton, In her eighty- third year. March 29th, the date of 'Miller who predeceased her her death, was the sixtieth anniver- sary of her marriage with Andrew six years. + : Mrs. Miller, "whose maiden name was Eliza Harrison Graham, was the teacher.in Rev. William Macaulay's parochial school, both beforé and after her marriage. For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. Miller were in charge of the orphanage at King- ston. 3 -About thirty' years ago they re- turned to their old home in Picton. At Kingston they provided in their own living compartment for two of the home hoys. The more delicate lad of the pair they brought to Pie- ton with them. Under their tender cqre the lad, Jimmie Miller, grew to manhood, remaining with his par- ents by adoption, until his death some fifteen years ago. The other lad, Alex Davis, now a pfominent citi- sen of Winnipeg, has honored his foster parents since childhood. Few parents have been blessed with more loyal sons. The life-long at- tachment of these boys to thelr fos- ter parents conveys an idea 'of the character of the deceaséd that words would fail to portray. There are still a tew residing in Picton who attended Mrs. Miller's school and ¢herish pleasant recollec- tions of her kindness and patience a8 a teacher, \ Mrs. Frank: Hornibrook of King- ston, fs Mrs. Miller's only surviving sister. Mrs. Susan Elliott, a sister- in-law, has resided with Mrs. Miller for & number of years. Rev. John Lyons of the Church of 8t. Mary Magdalene was the officiate ing clergyman. Since her youth Mrs, Millex had been a devout mem- ber of this church. The minister based ' his remarks on. the 23rd Psalm. Mrs. Robert Sayers sang that grand- old hymn, "Rogk of Ages." o The remains. were laid beside those of her husband and son in the church yard of the old church of St. [' Mary Magtalene; within a few feet of the building in which she had taught school in her youth. The pall bearers, with the exception of one, had all attended Mrs. Miller's school. They were: Nelson Bailie, James Brown, Samuel Shaw, Sam- uel Welsh, Fred Brown, Owen Jones.
