ONG SHOTS AND CLOSE UPS | FLICKERS FROM FILMDOM AND GOSSIP OF THE SCREEN A GENERAL REVIEW OF SCREEN ACTIVITIES Durant cars, in the new series, do not boast of any radical changes, but adhere strictly to the principles of quality which have al- ways distinguished Durant prod- ucts. True, thoughtful changes have! . been made. Refinements to the Red Seal Continental "L"-head mo- tor add to their power,pick-up and speed and in addition make pos- sible an even flow of tremendous power. The new flush-type steering is proving exceedingly popular and in this connection is may be sald that the new Durant cars may be con- trolled with even greater ele than previous models, This is due to refinements in the steering gear which provide for the full use of the complete steering radius. This year, it is the policy of each Dyrant dealer to place a car at the disposal of every prospect in order that he may judge the car for him- self and make his own compari- sons, This courtesy is being ex- tended without any obligation whatsoever and simply as a means of making the public more famil- far with the quality features of Durant cars.

When Miss Moore and John Mc- Cormick, who produces her pictures, read the play manuscript of "Lilac Time," they both knew instantly it was the story of which they had Sreamed, but hardly dared hope to nd. Its spirit of youth, its tenderness glowing romance gripped them as no other story had ever done, and McCormick immediately opened negotiations with Miss Cowl and Jane Murfin, co-authors of the play. The screen rights were pur- chased and Willis Goldbeck assigned to adapt the story for motion picture production, with Carey Wilson pre- paring the script. "Lilac Time" is a George Fitz- maurice production for First National Pictures, and tells of the romance of a little French girl and a reckless young British war aviator. In the opinion of critics, it more than jus- tifies the producer's judgment and the many months spent in filming it. Gary Cooper, hero of "Beau Sa- breur," "The Legion of the Con- demned" and other pictures, appears in the chief supporting role. Other players include Burr McIntosh, George Cooper, Cleve Moore, Kath- ryn McGuire, Eugenie Besserer, Emile Chautard, Jack Stone and Ed- ward Dillon, At least 27,000 Boys Scouts will at- tend the Grand Jamboree to be held next August at the Wirral Peninsula, in England, and for obvious reasons, ukuleles, banjos, whistles and mouth organs arc to be banned. So heavy that it required two men to lift, Lady Hilton Young's statue, "The Stolen Baby," which has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, was recently stolen from her garden at Baywater, England, and no trace of the thicves was left. {13 000000! 00000-0-0-0-0-0! "The Last Warning" is to be at the New Martin Theatre, = with Laura La Plante in the starring role. It is a riot from start to finish, All the ghostly things that can hap- pen do happen in this greatest of mystery photoplays. For sheer sus- pense this is the finest piece of art the director, Paul Leni, has ever turned out. It surpasses '"The Cat and the Canary." If you missed his former directorial vehicle you shouldn't miss this, But if you saw "The Cat and the Canary" you need uo bidding to gee 'The Last Warning." The story is absolutely different, however. There are thrills and chills galore. You have your screaming audience--breathless si- lence ag danger lurks in the offing then riotous laughter, a laughter of relief, which literally rocks the house, . Laura La Plante is delightful in the starring role. There is a mur- der--in fact, two murders--a haunted theatre and ghosts warn- ing a theatrical company not to stage their show. | Miss La Plante has never been more beautifully photographed. And as a versatile actress, the lit- tle blonde comedienne is in a #lass 'by herself. She isn't guilty of the sHme--bn we won't tell you who Ss. There are some splendid per- formances in the supporting cast, notably those of Montague Love, as the producer, Roy D'Arcy, as the leading man, Margaret Livingston former burlesque queen, John Boles as the understudy and many others, including Bert Roach. Mack Swain, Burr McIntosh, Mme. Carrie Daumery, Slim Summerville, Buddy Phelps, D'Arcy Corrigan, Charles French, Tom O'Brien and Fred Kelsey. The motion picture is an excel- lent cinematic treatment of Thomas F, Fallon's famous stage play and Paul Leni hag directed as only he can--with odd angles which make the very sets seem living things. For an evening of nerve-tingling ex- citement to stir your sluggish blood we highly recommend, "The Last Warning."

In the language of Premier Fer- guson, who introduced it, the bill provides for the receipt of the 50 per cent. payment by the Federal authorities; a 30 per cent. contri- bution from the Provincial Treas- ury; and asks the municipalities to supplement the amount by a contri. bution of 20 per cent. toward the maintenance of the aged, needy people of their respective localities. The 20 per cent. contribution asked of municipalities is » per cent. lower than originally planned by the Ferguson Cabinet, and constitutes, practically, the on- ly variation from the forecast of the legislation published on the opening day of the session. Local Boards General scheme of the act is pat- terned after the Mothers' Allow- ances legislation. Local boards will be appointed on the nomination of county councils, and to them will be all pension applications. Thro them will come recom- mendations to the central author- ity which will administer the act and pay the pensions. a The new act is so "co-operative" in tone that one section stipulates that in the event of the Dominion Government = ceasing to make its 50 per cent. contributions, or fafl- ing in any other way to live up to its agreement, Ontario shall at once discontinue payment of pensions, and in effect, wash her hands of the whole arrangement, Costs of administering will be borne by the the act Province, alone, fr _-- Emenee See=- the whole sky darkened by scores of fighting air- planes at death grips in the clouds.
