Mia Slavenska, the ballerina, is a magniâ€" ficent lbeauty and a rich actress. Other accomplished members of the balle* perform important roles. The ballets which point the action are too strictly formal to ibe very exâ€" citing, but they are well photographed and their rigid formality is faithful to the mood of the jplot. Jean Beénoitâ€" Levy made the production, a distinâ€" guished one. The limited clientele to which truly unusual pictures appeal will relish it keenly. Genuinely talented, the child ‘arouses the interest of her victim, and with the dark secret locked in her heart the little girl suffers the acute torments of divided loyalties. (Eventually, her intensity is directed into sound chanâ€" nels, after m series of highly dramatic episodes. Guides of the Sist LO.D.E.

Patrol corners were held for a few minutes, followed by games instructed by Lieut. Sheridan.. Campfire then assembled where a number. of songs were. sung. The meeting closed with "T‘aps." The war has commenced to have its effects on conferences of an internaâ€" tional character, one of the first to suffer ‘being the third International Congress for Microbivlogy, which opsnâ€" ‘ed at New York on Septemiber 4.

Ranâ€" dolph is engaged ‘to Burnette‘s daughter.

John, not knowing that Burnette is backing down because Draâ€" per ‘has infcrmation that will ruin Randclph, then turns against his friend and works to get him out of office. But Burnette‘s daughter, in love with John, solves all problems in dangerâ€" ous midnight expedition, and there is an exciting climax as John, seeing what a fool he has been, races to save Barâ€" bara from the murderer‘s revenge . _A thri‘ling story of the power of the nress as an instrument for public good is Moncgram‘s "Star Reporter," which is showing at the Cartier theatre Monâ€" day and Tuesday this week, Sept. 18th and 19th, and which was the midnight show last night. Newspaper Story at Cartier Theatre This Week _ Warren Hull does a nice job as Jchn RandsosIphâ€"a role which calls" for a wide range of acting, from comedy to emotional drama. Marsha Hunt, a very capable actress, is seen as Barâ€" bara, and Morgan Wallace who has "the meanest eyes in the world" plays Draper, the murderer, with telling efâ€" fect. Eddie Kane, Clay Clement, and Paul Fix play other sinister characters with suviave finesse. "Star Reporter" was directed by Howard Bretherton from the original screenplay by John T. Neville, and is an E. B. Derr production. Twenty years ago the Timmins tcwn council was rather noted for long sesâ€" sions. They held evening meetings for a time and their night sessions were inclined to be so lengthy that they made matters difficult for those who stayed up to lock up the town after everybody was in. However, the session of the council on Sept. 8th, 1919, was so brief that The Advance put the heading over the report, "Council Makes Record for Short Regular Meetâ€" ing." The meeting occupied only an hour. The mayor, Dr. McInnis, occupied the chair for first time after his vacaâ€" tion trip to the south. The counctillors present were: J. W. Fogg, W. DeFeu, L. S. Newton and J. M. Studor. There was considerable business before the meetinz, much of it of routine nature, but all was given full consideration and dealt with effectively, but without unâ€" necessary verbosity. The contract for an addition to the municipal building upstairs was awarded to W. Gagne, the price being $485.00. The salary of the Mr. GHill joined the Canada Life in 1923 on graduaticon from Queen‘s Uniâ€" versity where he was gold medallist in mathematics. ~Three years later he passed the final examinations of the Actuarial Scciety cf America and in 1927 was appointed assistant actuary of the company. The followinzg year he was transferred to the investmeont department in charge of the research and analytical division. He was namâ€" ed assistant treasurer in 1930 and treasurer in 1938. regular firemen was increased to $125.00 Interesting . Story . Well Presented in "Star Reâ€" porter."

No change in the administrative policy of the comâ€" pany is involved. Both of the new appointees have adâ€" vanced rapidly in the Canada Life orâ€" ganisation, with exceptionally fine reâ€" cords of accomplishment. Mr. Beattic, educated at Columbian College, New Westminster, BC.., became associated with the law firm of McCarthy and McCarthy shortly after graduation. There he did much of the Canada Life‘s legal work.â€" He became a member of the law firm in 1929, was appointed executive assistant of the Carada‘ Life in 1035 and last year became assistant to the president.

He blames whole rainy season on the two years alleged daylight saving time. YÂ¥ou can‘t monkey with nature," says this settler, "and when Governments learn that we will hHave better weather.‘" It is not likely, however, that this setâ€" tler will be a bit better pleased if the Government takes measures to make ‘the country absolutely "dry." i, An item in The Advance twenty ryears ago says:â€""The Timmins Citiâ€" zens‘ Rand some weeks azo felt the need for the regular band music stands, and Fire Chief Borland was asked if he could raise the necessary $100.00 to purchase the stands. He went out on the job and in a short time had $102.00 "E®verybedy seems enthusiastic about the new Timmins Citizens‘ Band," said the Fire Chief, "and it would have been an easy maitter to raise $500.00 for them in this town." ; ~In the issue of Sept. 1Cth, 1919, The Advance gave considerable space: to the news of the settlement of the Cobalt ‘strike that week. The settlement was arrived at, following conferences of the mine workers and the mine man»â€" agers the previous week. ‘These conâ€" ferences of a committee of citizens of Cobalt working with President Lord of the United Mine Workers of America, the latter paying a visit to Cobalt to assist in solvingy the difficulties. The Advance outlined the basis of settleâ€" ment, which included the following points:â€"base wage increased 50 cents, but bonus not â€"to start until silver is 80 cents; the Government epactment of eight hours labour at the face shall constitute an under;round shift; nine hours to constitute a surface day shift, and eight hours a surfice night shift; Sunday labour‘to be eliminated ss far as possible; the independent mine operâ€" ators agreed to pay eight hours for a sixâ€"hour shift on Sundays, except in per month. Estimates on waterworks extensions and for sewers were conâ€" sidered and passed. These totalled $31,305.62 for the work to be done. The clerkâ€"treasurer was gran‘ed an increase of $25.00 per month in salary. At South Porcupine on Sept. 3rd, 1919, the Porcupineâ€"Dome ‘football team won another game from Timmins in the Dickson Cup series, defeating the Timmins team by the decisive score of 4 to 0. The Timmins boys were shy some of their best players including Slim Hallowell and Cant. Andy Roberts, which made a big difference, of course. The team from here was largely a "pickâ€"up" one, and the result of the game was scarcely in doubt. Even at that, hoewever, the match was an interâ€" esting one, both teams, playing good football. The Advance twenty years ago had an article to the effect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales would likely visit Timmins on his way home from the West. "With the settlement of the labour difficulties in Cobalt and the return to igzeneral progress and peaceful prosperity in the North Land," said The Advance, "there is a general hope and belief that on his return from the West, Timmins and Cobalt may both be favoured with a call from His Royal Hizhness the Prince of Wales." Copies of the offiâ€" cial correspondence in the matter upâ€" held this view which was later proven to be correct by the actual visit itself. Dr. MciIinnis, mayor of Timmins at the time, worked persistently and effectiveâ€" ly to secure the honour and privilege of a visit to Timmins of the world‘s most popular prince. Tues.

The Union at a meeting on Sunday, Sept. 7th, 1919, decided to call off the strike on the terms outlined, and as a consequence work was rapidly resumed at the Cobalt properties.
