If Rafael Sabatini, the author of "Bardelys the Magnificent,"" had personally chosen the hero for the he could not have made a happier selection, ; Even compared to Gilbert's Tole in "The Big Parade," with its dusty | marches, its shell-hole other hectic sequences, this pait stands as the most active and colo1- ful of his career. He swims raging rivers on horseback, engages fierce encounters with hordes of strenuous and determined enemies, spearsmen and scales walls of dizzy ing height. The love scenes of the picture are fully as convincing and moving as cven those of "The ig Parade," and the story, its medieval background, with the exotic costumes and flam- boyant conventions only enhance this phase of the production. Eleanor Boardman as the heroine is 'thoroughly acceptable, lookinx every bit the kind of a girl for such a heart-winner as Bardelys. Gilbert's acting is of the smooth, restrained sort that makes the spec- tators feel that they are witnessing the intimate development of a genu- | ine romance A brilliant support cast surrounds the star, including Roy D'Arcy ac the cruel and treacherous Chateller- {ault, the villain of the opus; Karl | Dane, comedy star of "The Big Par- lade," as the ludricous Rodenard | Bardelys' attendant, and Arthur Lu- j Lubin, George K.

ROTARY DEBATES BUSINESS ETHIC: (Continued from page 1) a private telegram from Montreal that there was a sharp rise in the | price of live cattle. Next morning he visited a farmer who owned a bunch of cattle ready for ket. "Are the cattle for sale?' "They are." "At what price?" "Market price, to be sure." ""Wiell, what is market price? "I do not know this morning, as my daily paper has not arrived, but as it is not likely there is any or much change since yesterday, I'll take yesterday's quotations." The cattle buyer bought the cat- tle at yesterday's quotations. Resolved that the cattle buyer was justified. Mr. Garbutt and Mr. Edmunds for the affirmative took the line that the cattle dealer was justified as any other class of dealer would be justified in getting any article for sale, cattle or anything else at the best price at which he could ob- tain it. It was done every day they argued whether it was for a lot of real estate or a machine or per- sonal services. And common prac- tice made it justifiable. To expect " had changed and said Mr. Garbutt we had not yet reached that Utopian | state where anything else was like- I ly to happen. Leading for the negative Mr. Alloway said in brief that worthy opponent had tried to just- ify the action of the cattle dealer {on the ground that "business is {business" but he would remind him that that slogan once used by way {of justification for many dishonest ' deals, is now used only as an apol- | ogy, and they were not here to of- | fer apologies but to decide whether lor not this man was. justified 'in | Fhat he did. "There is a higher standard today which we as Rotar- ians should strive for and instead | of "business is business' our motto |ghould be "service for service," de- clared the speaker.

(By CANDIDATES MUST (QUALIFY TUESDAY (Continued from page 1) was genuine surprise when twenty names' were finally turned in. The names include those praetically of last year's board with the addition of Mr. Trick and of a number of younger men includidg Mr. Annis, Mr. Creighton, Mr. Carlyle, Mr. Garbutt and others. For the Water Commission there are two vacancies 'as Mr. McLaugh- | lin and Mr. Ross reach the end of ! their present terms at the close of the year but both are nominated 'again. Mr. Trick is also named for ! the Commission, There will be speech making to- night at a public meeting in the City Hall North Simcoe street start- ing 'at eight o'clock. Nominations for the Aldermanic seats around the eouncil board were plentiful "enough today to make very spirited election--if they | qualify. But the history of such events here im Oshawa is that many fail to qualify. It involves the trouble of being present, and signing certain papess,, that fnequemtly there have been three chesen, by acclamation here at. one; time, it looked like a fight. And as a matter of fact many people enjoy a fight others are doing the fighting. Cedardale found six nominated. Nine were named in the South east | ward. There were ten in the North east. The same number in the North west, and five in the South west vard; There was some danger for a while of no contest in the South West ward at Centre street school. Mr. J. C. Young, returning officer, sat in solemn glory all alone for the greater part of the hour from twelve to one but finally in walked Mayor Preston. In order not to cause an- other nomination, he and caretaker of school, Peter Dryburgh, between them mominated five men. And ¢ince none of them were consulted it was said late this afternoon that one or two might not qualify. And there may be an acclamation. There are many well known names among the number including some who have been aldermen and nmber who have been mayor and with that one or two prominent men who have not yet beea seen in Council but .have occupied seats of | responsibility clsewhere. All these :;ontlemen named today have until Tu~<day evening at nine o'clock to qualily.

A group of enthusiasts whose native land lies across the water, had for some time past been rehearsing to- gether, with the intention of bringing the Christmas carols to the ears of sick and shut in friends. Very, very early in the morning they were abroad and whether those at whose windows the songs were sung or the carollers themselves enjoyed the experience most, is as yet undecided, Much pleasure was evidenced at the | hospital as nurses appearcd at the windows 'and opened them when the first harmonious strains of "Holy Night, Silent Night" and others equally well known and loved, floated up from below. The singers afterwards repaired to the parsonage where Mrs. Galt served lunch and Christmas greetings gener- ally, werg in order.
