News Theatre COMEDY “TAILOR’S BILL” DRAMA “TRAPPED” SELIG TRIBUNE OF WORLD EVENTS ALL FIRST-CLASS REELS Paramount Attraction, Ottawa, April 6.—Now that the tumult and the shouting have so to speak, one can analyze the general features more calmly than was possible a week ago when Parliament was still aglow with George Kyte’s speech. The house has not felt so warm since before the war. When the member for Richmond, N. 8., had concluded his remarks Sir Wilfrid Laurier was thorough- ly kindled. “Stung,” he exclaimed, and when Sir Wilfrid drops into the vernacular that way you can bet the large emotions are re- leased, ‘Clarified, The speech which nailed the Government to its Shell Com- mittee and Major General Sir Sam Hughes to his dear friend Colonel J. Wesley Allison, although four hours long and not a dull minute anywhere, was perhaps the easiest part of the work. Before that was the long, hard job of- tracing the Colonel to his various lairs in York State and Virginia, surprising him red handed with his fellow bandits, sorting out his aliases as disclosed by the ‘ companies he dealt with or caused to be incorporated and establishing an official econ- nection between his dark deeds, the old Shell Committee and Major General Sam. The colonel had as many disguises as Jupiter-— but mostly he was the Golden as experienced by Dante —and believe me he took some trailing, also some quick thinking and clever deduction, As two heads are better than ore in this Sherlock Holmes busi- ness, it is no surprise to learn that Frank Carvell helped his friend George Kyte with the de- tective end of the case. Together got the affidavits, secured copies of contracts, searched the records and one way and another made such a neat tight-fitting legal case of it that Sir Sam and his Colonel and the Borden Goy- ernment and the old Shell Com- mittee could go into any court in the land and come out with a verdict of guilty. Then these two partners in good works, disdain- ing all little personal rivalries, pooled theip information, and while Frank Carvell sat back and fagged papers for him, George Kyte stepped out in front and made the speech of his life. Between the two they spread all the horrid details on Hansard, Like Jack Spratt and his wife they licked the platter clean—a mighty big platter and a lot of licking in- cluding the licking the Borden Government will get at the next general election, To get the whole case for the prosecution all the student of polities has to do now is to read the speeches of Carvell, Pugsley, Pardee and Kyte—they the ground. Carvell and Kyte probably cover more ground New mushroom Shower they cover ibut the others made good shoot- NOTHING LEFT TO CHANCE BY PROFIT-TAKING TRIUMVIRATE DUMMY COMPANIES MADE VERY CERTAIN OF THEIR CASH, BUT DID NOT WORRY ABOUT SUPPLYING THE FUSES—GOVERNERNMENT IN AN AWKWARD CORNER ing too. Great heavens, what fighters those Maritime Province fellows are! They don’t believe the truce should be used to cover a multitude of sins and conse- quently they don’t use it that way, They lift the cloak and show the pillage and graft underneath. While the boys are away in the trenches fighting the Germans, the Home Guard on Parliament Hill does its bit fighting the mid- diemen. How is it the Blue Noses develop so much fire? They may have Blue Noses, but there isn't a man of ’em has Cold Feet. Take George Kyte for example. Never was a blither, bonnier fight- er than George of Richmond. Such a thing as losing his temper George Kyte does not know. As he lays about him there is ever a twinkle in his eye. When he is merriest look out for him—for it’s then he hits hardest, The only danger signal is a glint of red in his chestnut hair. If I were on the other side of the house Td watch that and when it lit up I’d say “Ware George!’ As for the rest you wouldn’t find in a day’s a milder, gentler, man than the one who administered the knock out to the journey, more humane How quick- ly yet how he did it! One to the solar plexis, that is to say to the Shell Committee, an- other to the point of the jaw, Colonel J. Wesley Allison, an- other just above the heart, being Major Sam Hughes. Three swift punches and all was over. The Government pottered, tottered, crumpled and went down for the full count. f To get away from these prize- ring metaphors and put it in plain English, Sir Thomas White who had rashly ventured into a dis- cussion where the Honorable Robert Rogers feared to tread, thereby sacrificing to his pride of dialectic, the reputation he had won as a sensible Finance Min- ister who minded his own busi- hness—Sir Thomas, I repeat, went back on the whips’ arrangement to take a vote and moved the ad- journment of the debate which was a sure sign that the Govern- ment was gasping for air. After a few sad looks the Cabinet filed mournfully out humming under their breath, “Nearer My God, to Thee,’ Downward Christian Sol- diers,,”” Shells We Gather at the River,” and other familiar and appropriate stanzas, A two o'clock in the morning Cabinet meeting was held but no two o'clock in (Continued on Page Two) Borden Government. mercifully General Sir Go TO LONDON CAFE FOR THE BEST MEALS STRICTLY UNION HOUSE Hart Bik.
