The entire picture scintillates with the brilllant, spontaneous acting 'of the characters. The scenes are full of .situations that just send thrill after thrill down the spine and nfake you grip your seat and breathlessly wait for the next ome, and when it comes it's another thriller. It is a story of love and adventure; fugl- tives from justice and men madden- ed by the lust for revenge. Into this turmoil of human passions and emotions is thrown "Tigér Rose," the girl of the woods, brought up as & man in a world of men.: Her ac- tions and reactions to the dynamic and rapidly moving events of life in these environments are the basis of one of the most gripping pictures ever produced. An additional attrac- tion that will perhaps excite more comment than anything that has been seen in Kingston in a long time, will be the, 'Plastigrams" which shows the elusive third dimension in pictures for the first time, STOCK MARKETS mr ep---- (Reported by Johnston & Ward, 86 Princess street, members of the Montreal and Toronto Stock Ex- changes).

Cutten, Chicago grein merchant, in a sale of the last 300,000 bushels of a big holding of July com at around $1.10, in addition to over $500,000 on the recent wheat advances of from 20 to 25 cents bushel in Chi- cago and Winnipeg markets. James a Patten, whose attempts to corner wheat, corn, oats and cotton have made him famous and brought him fortunes, is also reported to have reaped considerable profits through the recent disposal of 2,000,000] bushels of oats purchased in May when dealers predicted big losses. A month ago Mr, Cotten predicted corn would reach a dollar a bushel before 'the end of July. He persisted in this belief and wet weather, which re- tarded the crop, vindicated his judg- ment.
