Outstanding Event at the Grand Opera House on Wednesds§. One in a great while there comes to a local theatre an outstanding dramatic and social event which is the one remembered artistic treat above all others. This epoch- marking event will happen at the Grand Opera House Wednesday, April 22nd, matinee and night. The curtain will go up promptly at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Lovers of the dramatic art will have their eagerly awaited opportun- ity of seeing the most remarkable play of this generation, in Bernard Shaw's latest and greatest achieve- ment, "Saint Joan." "It will prove to be the outstanding dramatic event in this city, as it has been in New York and London. Much is expected of this wonder- ful production of "Saint Joan" and audiences will not be disappointed. The Shaw play is not a tragedy, not a comedy, not a travesty, not rigid history, but a little of all, and told in modern English, even to accent and slang, of the twentieth century. In even the mouth of the heroine are placed not only thrilling passages of inspired pathos, but occasional witty sallies and withering sarcasm. She gots the better of her enemies with the tongue of a woman in face-to- face meeting, as well as with the sword of the soldier on the fleld of battle. Audiences are aroused to a state of exaltation equal to that with which the Maid has inspired the sol- diers of France, and they are forced into laughter at some biting ridicule or happy saying.

DOB bar with his wonted audacity. Bertram C. Whitney is deserving of great credit in presenting such a fine production in every particular. Miss Julia Arthur is an ideal "Joan" and triumphs in the role. The men of the cast are splendidly fitted for the difficult roles, notably Edwin Mordante, viril impersonation of the Bishop of Beauvais; Lowdon Adams as the Inquisitor; George Fitsgerald as the archbishop of Rheims; Erskin Sanford as the ten- der-hearted monk, Brother Martin; Albert Barrett, as Dunois; and Jolin McGovern as the Dauphin; not forgetting the artistic portrayals of Lynn Pratt as the Earle of War- wick and Henry Buckler as De Sto- gumber. a "WIFE OF THE CENTAUR" PROMISES SOMETHING NEW A motion picture story of a de- cidedly different sort is promiséd for the Capitol Theatre when King Vidor's "Wife of the Centaur' opens to-day for an engagement of three days. Adapted from the sensational novel by Cyril Hume ,the picture tells, rather than the typical love story, the story of a man with many loves; a man who hates himself for his infidelity, but who can not re- sist temptation. That every man, like the centaur of mythology, is 'half man and half beast" is the theory on which Hume based his "story. The "centaur" played by John Gilbert, is a ro- mantic, picturesque figure, in whom conflicting emotions are always struggling. He holds a high ideal- istic love for one woman, but t ~ You have something to be cleaned or dyed?

It was announced on Monday by a prominent official of the Central Ontario League team of this city that "Red" Legon, Peterboro out- fielder star, who was to remain in Kingston this summer and play for the Kingston team, would not be here this season but would be back in Peterboro. Legon's parents object to him staying here during the sum- mer to work or play ball and Legon will be found with "Shiner" John- ston's crew again. The announcement ~was greeted with genuine regret by the fans to- day. It was hoped that Legon would be able to jack up the Kingston out- field this summer but the executive will have to look around for an- other man now. Legon is a stu- dent at Queen's university and is a very popular boy here. He played hockey with the Queen's seniors. Compeaun Has Gone. Milton "Mosey" Compeau, who early in the spring signed a contract with Knotty Lee, to play with his team, left for Kitchener on the midnight train on Sunday and was to report to Lee to-day. It was hop- ed to have an arrangement made whereby Compeau would be found with the Kingston Central Ontario League team but all efforts failed and the short-stop position will now require attention. Things look bad at the present moment for the King- ston C.0.B.L. team here but the executive believe that they will strike on something very soon. It is understood that certain lo- cal baseball parties are contemplat- ing making application for a team in the St. Lawrence Baseball League if it is established. So far no defin- ite move has been made but it is thought that there will be some- thing doing in a few days, Rendered Sacred Recital. On Sunday evening the choir of the First Baptist church gave a sec- red Easter recital entitled "Christ Is Risen." The solo parts were taken by Miss Ruth LaFlair, Mrs. H. G. Clarke, Mrs. T. J. Turner, Miss Miriam Osborne, Miss B. Brown and Mrs. S. Salsbury, Mr. I. Edwards, James Marshall, James Saunders and Mr. V. R. Morris. Sidney Sals- bury presided at the organ, and his son Stuart also took part in the re- cital. yp = PIRATES BANQUETED. Winners of Industrial Bowling Lea- gue Received Prizes. On Saturday evening in Tierney's dining hall, the first annual banquet of the Industrial Bowling League was held and the affair was a splen- did success in every way. Mr. W. L. Kennedy acted as chairman and the members of the different teams, which comprised the League were all on hand. The Pirates, who won the League title, were the guests of the evening and congratulations were showered on them. The shield was presented to the winners by Mr. Wil- liam Harty, Jr., and thé cp was handed over by Mr. P. J. Moran. A short address was given by Mr. Wil- liam Casey. FIRE AT BROCKVILLE.

Vidor has filmed the story, it is reported, with remarkable fidelity to the book, and has given it a screen translation with many striking scenes and contrasts. Eleanor Boardman and Aileen Pringle are cast in the leading femi- nine roles, as the two women with who the "centaur" is in love. The supporting cast, which is an unusually large one, contains the names of such well-known players as William Haines, Betty Francisco, Philo McCullough, Jacquelin Gads- don, Kate Price, Kate Lester, Lin- coln Stedman, Willlam Orlamond and others. fn "THE CHORUS LADY" Al THE STRAND One of the most entertaining and colorful photoplays seen in Kings- ton Is "The Chorus Lady," which is being shown at the Strand Theatre to-day and to-morrow.
