The staging of the Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan" was unusually fine and the effect of color in some of the scenes added much to their effectiveness: That "The Maid" who from her father's home at Domremy, a vil- luge in Lorraine was believed by the peasants to have had a supernatural power is shown in the opening scene when the steward in the castle of Vancouleurs declares the hens will not lay nor the cows give milk be- cause Joan is seeking entrance and being denied. "She has a way with rer, There is something," says Begt- rand and so said the squire when he grasped the fact that she might raise the populace to fight for France and turn the hated English "Goddamns" out of the land. A very human saint is Bernard Shaw's "Joan" as played by Miss i rich ringing tone, and the wonder- | Julia Arthur, the great Canadian actress. And yet the marks of saint- hood are there. The impetuous girl, interrupting her elders and grave church dignitaries, is the next min- ute a brave soldier leading her men to victory. A soldier, but although she denied it, a woman too, not a woman dwelling on her sex and its problems, but a woman who loves little children and fears pain yet when dying in agony amidst the flames, sent back the priest who would have held the cross before her eyes, to a place of safety, .lest he come to harm.

ASKS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION TO PAY Sum of $12,000 for Burning of Truedell Hall and Other Buildings. "The Suburban Road Commission will be asked to pay damages amounting to $12,000 to cover the amount of the loss I sustained when my buildings were burned on the morning of April 10th," was the statement of John Truedell to a re- presentative of the Whig on Thurs- day morning. Mr. Truedell claims that his | buildings were destroyed by fire ow- | ing to neglect on the part of the] men in charge of the suburban road | commission in allowing the fire in the roller to be started when the | machine was close to his property. | MF. Truedell states that he is certain that a spark from the roller caused | the first frame building which was closest to the road, to. take fire. Ac- cording to Mr. Truedell, the fire started in the building which was known as Truedell hall, and had been used during the past twenty years for nomination meetings and dances. Mr. Truedell says that in addition to the hall, drive shed, hen house, stable and blacksmith shop, which were completely destroyed, he had some very valdable tools and other articles in the buildings and he did Yinbi or ENN EEE ENN NE ENN ENE heard anything finer | gg See Full Page Advt. on Page 9 of This Edition for details STEACY'S ',.. ANNIVERSARY SALE Marts Friday, April 24 not save any of them. During the past week, Mr. True- dell has had an architect from King- ston visit the scene of the fire and he estimated the loss at $12,000. When asked what he intended to do if the Suburban Road Commission refused to pay the bill, Mr. Truedell said he would place the case in the hands of his solicitor and institute legal proceedings. Mr. Truedell claims that the steamer roller was not protected in any way to keep the sparks from the engine travel- ling in all directions. He also stated that since the fire, screens had been ordered for the smoke stack. On the morning of the fire, the steam roller was standing on the right side of 'the road with the front pointing toward Kingston. The engineer informed a represen- tative of the Whig that it was im- possible for him to stop on the other side, as the road was soft and he was afraid that the engine would sink in the mud and have to be dug out. and performs the miracle prophes- fed by the archbishop; Joan in the camp of the Bastard of Orleans on the Banks of the Loire, when her prayers were heard and the wind turns to the west to let the French boats bring up reinforcements; Joan at prayer in Rheims cathedral; Joan 'a slender maid in a black jerkin and hose confronting her judges = and the dark visaged Inquisitor himself, persuaded that the saints who had led "her and her God Himself had deceived her; shown the dread ex- ecutioner with his flaming veil and told of the stake and the faggots in the market place, and in despair and dread, signing the recantation, only to snatch it from the hands of the inquisitor and tear it Into frag- ments when condemned to life im- prisonment, never to breathe God's fresh air, to see the grass or hear the birds sing, was the mercy shown her choosing death by fire to a living death in a convent cell--this Joan was always the loving, lovable girl, who set God above all earthly power and while she drew all single- hearted men to her side, found those who would serve their own ends rather than the ends of God or their country, her enemies.
