Denishawn Dancers at the Grand | Opera House on Thursday, April | 24th, one group is devoted to what | Miss St. Denis has called "Music| Visualizations." She has employed this term in order to avoid the use'! of the overworked and rather mean- | ingless terms "interpretative" and | "classic" as applied to the new move- | ment in the dance. | The Denishawn Dancers attempt | In these music visualizations to ac-| curately trapslate Into visible form the actual mathematical 'and archi- | tectural construction of the written | composition. "Here," Miss St. | Denls explains, "there is no dancing as the music makes the dancer feel mo aimless "wandering about the stage, picking imaginary daisies and drinking from invisible fountains, but rather each eighth note, each arpegglio, each ll is consclentious- ly paralleled by an analogous move- ment of the déncer, with careful thought to the rendering of the | melodic themes. This group includes Beethoven's "Sonata Pathetique," Chopin's "Re- volutionary Etude," Schumann's "Soaring," - Brahms' Waltz, and Liszt's "Liebestraum." The Denishawn Company, besides Miss St. Denis and Ten Shawn, in- cludes Martha Graham, Pearl Whee- {ler, Daisy May, Lenore Scheffer, Julia Bennett, May Lynn, Louise | Brooks, Charles Weidman and Paul Mathis, with' an instrumental quar- tette conduéted by Louis Horst. -- | ORIGINALS (OLD DUMBELLS) { TO PRESENT "RAPID FIRE" ATTRACTION | Canada's favorite theatrical Com- q 3 AND DANCE pany, now known as the "Originals" KIDD " +¥ith cast including fifteen of the Original Dumbell Organization, will be the attraction at the Grand thea- tre next Friday and.Saturday, with | their novel revue "Rapid Fire."

C. ¢. Damant in the course of a lecture at the Institu- 4 tion of Mechanical Engineers. Four boxes of gold weighing 140 Ibs. each were recovered in such shori time when the work started that it' seemed as it operations would 'be finished in a week. A fierce gale sprang up, however, and the wreck collapsed, making salvage work very difficult. Of the 3,211 bars which went down with the ship, 3,057 have been recovered during operations ex- tending over six summers at a cost of two and one-half per cent. CANADA CAN PURCHASE The Royal Insignia Which Adorned . Former Speaker's Chair, washington, April 22.--The at- tention of'the Canadian Government authorities has been drawn to the recent discovery of the royal insig- nia which adorned the speaker's chair in the old Canadian parlia- ment buildings at Ottawa. Thi¥ in- signia, containing the lion, unicorn, rose, shamrock, thistle and Maple Leaf was rescued when the parlia- ment buildings were burned. It -was discovered recently at the an- cient Fountain House in Doyles town, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, by P. W. Wilson, former member of the British House of Commons and president of the Association of For- eign Correspondents, New York. The proprietor of the Fountain House sold the insignia to Mr: Wilson, who is making Inquiry has shown that the pro- prietor of the ian purchased the insignia from D. McAndrew, 262 Dorchester West, Montreal. Mr. Wil- son has placed the insignia in his home at Spuyten Duyvil, New York. v ed to Live--The Police Investigating. Arcola, 8ask., April 22.--There was a deadly poison, instead of sugar, in the sugar bowl which stood on the table of George Mitch- ner, a farmer living near here Sat- urday morning. As a result, Robert Mitchner, six-year-old son, is dead, his mother and a sister, Doris, are not expected to live, and seven other members of the family are sertously ill. Sugar of lead is believed by Dr. C. B. Stone, who 1s treating the sur- vivors, to have been the poison used, but the details of the manner in which it found its way into the sugar probably will not be known until Jhe provincial police have com- pleted an investigation. Only one member of the family of eleven escaped the poison. This was a girl of twelve, she took no sugar. The family ate breakfast early Sat- urday florning as they were driving into town for some Easter shopping There was oatmeal food and most of the children sprinkled sugar om fit liberally. Robert being particular- ly fond of sugar, used several spoon- fuls, so much that his mother laugh- ingly told him to leave some for the rest of the family. No one noticed anything wrong with the food, and the family was breaking up after the med] before the first evidence of disaster appeared. SIR THOMAS WHITE HOME. He Travelled Throngh Brazil on Business Mission. Toronto, April 22.--8ir Thomas de Janeiro, Brazil, after an absence of ten weeks from Canada. His mis- sion was on business connected with the Brazilian Traction Company, of which he is a director. He visited Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, and 'went 600 miles into the fnterior to see the great coffee planations. During his absence, Sir Thomas travelled 12,000 miles, and was five Sir Thomas referred to the oppor- tunities for increased trade between Canada and Brazil if there were direct and regular steamship com- munication. * 5 Brazil needs machinery, cement, codfish and other products which Canada could supply. The Argentine is a great fleld for the sale of agri- cultural implements, and Americans are very active in pushing this busi- ness. Bir Thomas was whether the amount of Increased trade whith might be obtained would warrant the establishment of a regular steamship service from Canada. A -- Violets Realized $575.

Toronto, April 22.--That in ap- pointments in connection with "the Home Bank investigation counsel should have been arranged for to represent the varioug successive min- isters of finance for the dominion, was the opinion given today by Sir Thomas White, minister of finagce from 1911 to 1919, before Hon. H. A. McKeown, facting as royal com- missioner in the enquiry int the bank's affairs prior to the suspen- sion of that institution last Au- gust, ¥ Sir Thomas White produced a heavy dossier of hitherto unpub- lished personal and confidential let- ters, memoranda and documents from files of the department of fin- ance during his term as minister. These had been turned over to-him after the suspension of the bank, he sald, by his former private secretary, who had regarded them as private, although Sir Thomas himself had intended them for use of the depart- ment after he left. On his depart ure for Rio de Janeiro last Febru- ary, Bir Thomas said he left these documents with Sir Edward Kemp, to be made available for information of parliament if called for. He was under the impression when leaving Toronto that it was not the inten- tion of the government to appoint the royal commission, G. T. Clarkson, liquidator, who was also a witness this morning, produced a letter under date of Jufle 14th, 1917, from Hon. T. A. Crerar, ag director, to M. J. Haney, president of the bank, disapproving of the appointment of Colonel] Coop er Mason as general manager. Mr Crerar said that such an appoin ment could not have been serio considered. He would be glad to Operate, he wrote, providing th was no attempt to appoint Colo Mason. Some time later, Mr. Cr resigned from the directorate. + Mr. Clarkson said that the lg ties of the Home Bank would d { o> the 'assets by from $9,000,000 $9,550,000. gi Dreads Disruption. Rev. James Cumberland, an aged Presbyterian clergyman, writes: "With all flue deference, the Moder- ator of the General Assembly is mis- taken. The house committee of the legislature did not interfere .with the 'liberty of the church, - All 4 did was refuse to be a party in forcing thousands of loyal Presbyterians out of the church of their fathers into the wilderness. In these latter days it is not safe to listen to every ru- mor. Read the bill and judge for yourself.
