Bessie Love ap- as an eccentric old-fashioned 1, in a black velvet gown, with undreds of black and white ostrich mes trailing the floor. A low cut ice edged with crystals, satin with enormous crystal buck- a tiny costume hat set atop Bes- sig's curls, and black kid gloves of bow length complete the ensemble. She makes a striking contrast to Johnnie Walker under the moon- Nght in the garden. Walker has sel- the outfit of a Russian cossack with cream colored fez and jacket, high leather boots and crimson cloak. onel Belmore creates much hu- mour when he over indulges in unch, in a costume of Henry the th and becomes hilarious. He yequires the aid of Ernest Hilliard, decked out as & Caballero of pictur- esque Argentine, with chin-strapped sombrero, flaring blouse, wide breech- es tucked in stiff boots and an or- nate belt. The real laugh comes when David od puts in appearance in a Mary ane outfit, with yellow curls, ging- ham dress, panties, short socks and patent leather strapped shoes. He is a decided contrast to Sidney D'Al- cenes in "Matinee Idol" brook, who struts around in a "Twelfth Night" lay-out. The action of "The Matinee ldol" which will be shown at the New Martin theatre on Monday is laid chiefly in the theatre, introducing the audience to life behind the scenes of a travelling tent show playing the most thrilling of melodramas. These sequences are contrasted with an elaborate Broadway revue. There are several humorous incidents in a thea- trical boarding house on New York's East Side. The production was made under the direction of Frank Capra from a story by Robert Lord and Ernest Pagano. At the present time "The Matinee Idol" is receiving the applause of the Toronto fans, and the lobby talk about the New Martin Theatre assures the Oshawa fans of a real live show starting on Monday even- ing.

STARTS SERIOUS " FRE IN FORESTS Believed He Would De Away With Rival--Worst Fire of Season Rather than let his intended squaw's affections be stolen by an- other man a Lake Savant Indian recently touched a match to the bush, in the hope, it is clajmed, that his rival would be missing when the smoke cleared. This act of jealous rage not on. ly furnished the Outario Forestry Patrol--both aerial ani ground forces -- with one of the worst fires with which they have had to deal this hectic season, but it pro- vided a story that ulmost outtie- tions fiction--a story which ends with the Indian being locked up in the Port Arthur jail for 90 days, but not before he had led pursuers a 200-mile eanoe chase, and red- coated Mounties, and law aiding aeroplanes and a bit of a scrap, and an angry crowd had been pack- ed into the picture with all the seeming abandon of some Holly- wood director aiming at the worlds 'biggest and best." Fire Fought and Indian Trailed Back from a 2,600-mile flying inspection of his numerous North- ern patrol posts, Captain W., Roy Maxwell, Director of the Govern- ment's Flying Service, related this story yesterday for the first time. No sooner, it appears, had the Lake Savant fire heen detected than the combined ¢ffort of the ground ran- gers and the planes in the district were thrown against it, All kinds of pressure pumps, hose and other fire fightiing equipment were rueh- ed in by aerial transport, and what for a time looked very much like a disastrous conflagration was eventually staved off. In the meantime Deputy Ranger Sherrett and another memher of his staff had investigated the cause of the fire. A clue, it is eald, took them to the cabin of the Indian in question but he had gone, They promptly took u his chase by canoe, Day after day they pad- dled, with their suspect never more than a few hours ahead of ttem. The trail led clear u to the Albany river, where the pursuers doub- led on his tracks and returned to the Lake Savant district by way of Lake St, Joseph. Boaster Silenced It was here, Captain Maxwell relates, that the Indian was with friends boasting of how he had thrown the rangers off his track, when Sherrett and his companion slipped out of the hush and poune- ed on him, Long since, wireless used b ythe forestry posts had brought the Mounted Police into action. Officers went in by one aeroplane ran into some unavopid- able trouble in a water landing and finally were picked up by Pil- ot Gifford Swartman of the Gov- ernment Service, who transferred them all, bag and baggage to his ship and flew them to the spot where Sherrett and his friend were still standing guard over the Indi- an. By this time the latter's friends had begun to grow a bit belligerent, and it was with a sigh of relief it. is understood, that Sherrett saw Swartman come sail- FLICKERS FROM FILMDOM AND GOSSIP OF THE SCREEN A GENERAL REVIEW OF SCREEN ACTIVITIES Saturday night last saw the completion by Paul Leni of "The Last Warning."

The Beagles and the Hicks have been enjoying inter-family feud wars for years and a short period of peace is interrupted when a romance between young Jim Hicks and the daughter of the house of Beagle is uncovered. The warring is renewed. Old Man Hicks sends his son, George, to town for powder and George finds a carnival in full swing. He is impressed with the abilities of Powder-Horn Pete and Dead-Eye Dan, billed as sharpshooters, al- though neither one could hit an ele. phant with a guitar. He hires these two pseudo-experts to augment his father's "army," without telling them the nature of their employment. Pete and Dan are informed by Old Man Hicks that they are to kill some Beagles, and they, thinking that he means some dogs, readily agree. They start out alone and find, to their alarm, that the Beagles are seven husky mountaineers, thirsting for the blood of the imported "kill ers." Pete and Dan escape from the Beagles but fall into a cave in which is located the Beagle family "still." They make their escape and rum to the Hicks' cabin, followed by the Beagles. Dan persuades Jim and his sweetheart to get married and end the feud. Through a ruse, Dan and Pete get the Beagles and the Hicks into the Hicks' cellar and lock them in. Then the boys send for the parson and, standing on the trap door leading to the cellar, while the imprisoned feudists battle to free themselves, they witness the marriage of the youthful lovers. The wedding ends the feud but Dan and Pete have to make a break for their lives, FAMOUS U.S. COMEDIAN HURT IN PLANE CRASH New London, Conn, Aug. 3--Fred Stone ,comedian, is in a hospital here suffering from a badly crushed right leg and injuries to his face and head, received when a biplane which he was flying solo crashed when its engine went dead.
