"The Trail of '98," the great "northern film epic to be shown at the Port Perry Picture House, on Satur- day night of this week, is, proving to be to the north what * ered Wagon" was to the West. | Birth Down East" to the eastern States and their inhabitants. A a "The Trail of '98" was directed by Clarefice Brown for Metro-Goldwyii« Myer and is based on the celebrated Robert W. Service story of the Klon- dike gold rush in 1898. > 8 Though set in spectacular surround- ings in a background of such gra and immensity that it almost dwarfs humanity, the plot is so dramatic and emotionally touching that it stands out supreme, yet it is but a simple love story of a boy and girl and their fight for happiness against lust and greed and temptation and almost in- surmountable obstacles of the north. One of the pictures's most dramatic scenes is the burning of Dawson City. The leading roles are played by Ralph Forbes, the boy; Dolores Del Rio, the girl; Harry Carey, the villain, Karl Dane, the comic, and Tully Mar- shall, George Cooper, Tenen Holtz, Cesare Gravina, William Orlamond, Emily Fitzroy, and others. Three shows--2.30, 7.15 and 9.15 p.m. Regular prices. UTICA NEWS The annual meeting of the United Church and Sunday School was held in the basement of the church on Monday afternoon.

A preambulating blind pig is caus- ing more than a little comment around Zion, and it has given a story that should be of more than ordinary inter- est--especially of pig lovers; not lovers of ham, or of pork, but of pig, in 'its natural, undefiled and lively state. The pig was born without eyes. Mr. Fred Snelgrove, the owner, developed a great liking for the little pig because it fought so hard against circumstances and put all its other faculties into full use to fill its little stomach. In only one thing was the pig given a lucky break--it had many brothers and sisters, and it used to get along fairly well using its ears to follow them, using its nose to The Children of the Farm --dreaming . . . planning . . . think- ing of the future, perhaps.
