The C.P.R. have installed one of the cloverest exhibits yet seen at the Toronto Exhibition grounds, in the railway building which takes for its motte the phrase "Spans the World," referritg to the great transportation service rendered by the Company. fo commemorate Canada's part in (he great war, one of the pictures, the work of J. S. Muir, a Toronto artist, depicts the vhole western front when the rmans made their great bid for the channel ports and were foiled by the heroie work of Can- ada's army. In the distance on the canvas can be seen the battle- field suwn with barb wire en- langlements with the enemy trenches in the background. In the forefraund bodies of infan- try, eayalry, tanks, and great siege guns propelled by elec- tricity are seen moving up the front.

Wanda Hawley in "The Gypsy Trail" The exquisite blonde béauty of pelite Wanda Hawley, who has the leading feminine role oppo- site Bryant Washburn, in his first Paramount starring pic- ture, "The Gypsy Trail," which will be shown at the Grand, Fri. and Sat., is admirably cast as Frances Raymond. The role calls for a girl who is pretty and con- ventional, but who thinks she is romantic. Her work with Cecil B. De Mille in "We Can't Have Every- thing" and with William S. Hart in "The Border Wireless," has stamped Wanda Hawley as one of the most charming of the younger screen actresses. Her beauty is of the type an artist would say was "perfect.". Her eyes are a blue that is deep as the sea; her hair is a golden. blonde; she has a face perfect contour and dimples tifat come and go with every change of ex- pression. 'i But most of all she has talent and imagination--and she em- ploys both in her screen work. The picture was admirably pro- duced, ANGUS Last week an error -was inad- vertently made in the Angus correspondence when it .was stated that Gordon McMackon was a patient in the Base Hospi- tal, Toronto.
