There is a depth of feeling in this picture that has never been shown in any other production. Miss Pick- ford put all the delicate shading into her work that only a great artist is capable of.

One of the greatest suspense melo- dramas ever- screened and, by long odds, the most interest-compelling picture of the current season, *“The Bandbox,” Theodore C. Deitrich and Arthur F. Beck’s production of Louis Joseph Vance’s gripping story' star- ring beautiful Doris Kenyon, bids fair to eclipse the tremendous popu- larity of the book, which has proved the biggest iselling success of this popular American author. “The Bandbox,” a W. W. Hodkin- son release, ' which comes to the Grand theatte next Wednesday and Thursday is fast, staccato melodrama with more action compressed in it than one usually encounters in “a complete book, an exciting magazine serial story or a multi-episode screen serial. t has been directed by R. William Neill, who recently complet- ed a big serial production, ‘“The Career of Katherine Bush,” from: Eli- nor Glyn’s story. i Beggars Who Fioat in Bowls.

HOW CAWARICS ARE TRAINED French Expert Explains His Method of Teaching. the Birds to Pro- duce Sweet Notes. Parisians .are so passionately fond of canaries that it i{s estimated there are 100000..of these birds in the City of. Light. Writing in the Wide ‘World magazine,: Henri : Gaillard. the famous French canary trainer, gives some interesting particulars regarding his method of teaching his pets to sing. *The musical training of my pupils,” he says. “is conducted with the aid of a hird whistle or a flageolet. A fort- nlg’ht after the young bhird has learned to feed fitself -it is put into a solitary cage, where, if it is a male, it soon begins to ‘warble. The cage is then covered with white muslin and its oc- cupant is fed on cola seed and bread soaked in water. During the first week of isolation I don’t allow him to hear the song of any other bird, and during the second week I play only a few notes o’ medium pitch every morning before his cage. After this 1 advise covering the cage with very thick green or red serge, thus keeping the- bird in darkness until it has learned a few short musical phrases. How long does it take to train a ‘canary to :sing properly? Well, that all depends on the bird’s aptitude. 1 should say the time varies from two to six months.” ' FORM ONE BIG ASSOCIATION Chinese Family of Wong in Montreal .Combine for Mutual Benefit and . Business Help. We live and learn, and some of our learning comes' from unexpected sources, If ‘all the Smiths and all the Joneses were to organize themselves into a mutual benefit and charitable soclety, It would at least be consid- ered a somewhat novel proceeding, yet that is exactly what is being done in Montreal at the present moment by the Chinese. Members of the Wong fam- fly of China, who have left their na- tive) land to seek their fortunes here, ‘have formed. themselves into the Wong ‘Wun Sun agsociation of Montreal, the object of which Is to assist all Chi- nese bearing the name of Wong af- flicted by sickness, accldents or re- verses of fortune, AN-the Wongs bear some degree of mlaiionghlp.’:fio one an- other, and as the assotiatidn already has some 300 menmibers anfl expects more, It is probably’oné of the largest familles on record. The association does not confine itself to helping those in sickness or distress, but goes far- ther, If a Wong is desirous of start- ing up & laundry or some other busi- ness and is not possessed of the neces- sary capital, he.goes along to the other ‘Wongs at the weekly Saturday meet- ing and presents his case and if he proves his good’ faith the money is forthcoming. In fact, In every gen- ulne case of a member of the family business assistance is given. The idea ‘is & somewhat novel one to white races, }! but it has practical results and is un- doubtedly beneficial.—Montreal Star. "7 *crimactenc.~ The term climacteric years was once_ applied to certain years in man’s life, which- were believed by the disciples of astrology to have a peculiar signifi- ‘eance, and to be the critical points of his health and fortune. Crises of this kind were supposed to be the twenty- first, the ‘twenty-fifth, the forty-ninth and the sixty-third year, which was called by way of eminence the climac- teric year or “grand climacteric.” This’ year was supposed to be fatal to most men, owing to the fact that sixty-three i is the product of the two mystical | numbers seven and nine. The grand climacteric is said to have been recog- niged by Hippocrates. Subseribe for The Plenser v ~ Beltrami County ——Travelers—— mmerican Engineers Supreme.
