The second act opened with the Dance of the Spritesâ€"wee tots dressed in red (red spotlight a‘so), who were beautiful.

The South Porcupine Fire brigade are very proud of the improvements which have necently been granted them in the form of a brand new Reo Speed Wagon. The new fireâ€"demon was brought in from Timmins last week where it received the finishing touches of the carpenten and artist painter and the brigade are highly pleased with their new treasure. The Council have also contributed the West half of the building adjoining the present fire hall, which has been remodelled to house the new truck as well as affording the brigade a little extra room for hose equipment, etc. The new truck was badly needâ€" ed by the buigade and will make a big difference in cases where long stretch of hose is required and do away with the extra trip back to the fire ‘hall as has been the case until now. South Pogeupine can be proud of a most willing and able crew of fire fighters and can rest assured that the brigade will prove that this sma‘l investment in their favoun will be worth it ten times over. Many a serious fire was prevented through the speedy arrival of the brigade and the new truck will give the boys a chance to get on the job, iPronto.

Flappers will have their parties, and when a Motion Picture Story deals with flappers, it is necessary to film one of these colourful affairs. When King Vidor, the Metroâ€"Goldâ€" wynâ€"Mayer director began maklng\ "Wine of Youth,‘‘ the film version of Rache" Cnothers‘ play, which is coming to the Majestic Theatre on Friday and Saturday, he decided to get ‘his information about such things at first hand. _ Aceordingly, he atâ€" tended a party of this nature in New Yonk‘s smiart set, and reproduced most of the incidents in the picture. It must have been ‘‘some‘‘ party. ‘ Judging from the actions of a cerâ€" tain young couple in town, it dooks like there will ‘be another wedding soom.
