McGraw, Dublin; road- ster in harness, Robert 3Te arren, The story of Madame La Tour 's one of the most colorful and roman- tic in the annals of e.cadia. That story is too long to tell here, but in the pages of Perlman and in the lit- tle book of Mabel Burkholder in the Ryerson Canadian History Readers, may be read the tale of her heroism and her tragic end amid the tangled rivalries that distracted those early ;. years of maritime Canada. Charles de La Tour, her husband, had built a fort and trading post at I the mouth of the St. John river, in 1 the present province of New Bruns- II-1VIadame L wick. His claim to possession of this territory was disputed ey a rival trader, De Charnisay, Each had se- cured grante of laurel rind the mono - rely of mete with the Indians from the French crown, and the situation er•endictded by the overlapping of their domains, the intrigues of their respective supporters at the 1ren•h court, and the claim of Eng- land to the territory involved. The conflict continued for year;, with alternate successes and defeats for ouch party. In the spring of 1645 Lu Tour went to Boston to beg aid from Massachusetts against his IN THE BLACK PIRATE ARRIVES ANOTHER BIG FAIRBANKS SPECTACLE In presenting "The Black Pirate" which is coming to the Grand Theat- re, on Thursday for the remainder of the week, Douglas Fairbanks is up to one of his pioneering tricks again. The film is in natural color, and a vast improvement, we aro told, over past efforts at presenting color. "Doug" has picked out tones which are calculated to rest the eye—prin- cipally browns and greens and their complements. And all the color is selected in accordance with its dra- matic value. Four months of ex- perimental work was done along this line before a crank was turned on production. The story is an original from the facile pen of Mr. Elton Thomas: All the "yo -hoes" and "avasts" of 17th century piracy are in "The Blade Pirate," along with everything that any pirate ever did, from burying treasure to walking the plank. With- out being. specific, Fairbanks chose the, Southern Seas as his locale, thus giving his adventure plenty of sea room. Albert Parker r e was custodian of the " 1 megaphone on The Blatt Par rte," Billie Dove, that lovely young leading lady who is rapidly heading for stardom, furnishes the pulchri- tude in this picture and also Doug's motive for cleaning up a couple of shiploads of pirates. Mr. Fairbanks opens this picture, WO arc told, where most of them end,—with the freebooters blowing up a ;galleon along with the passcn- grrr, cargo and crew. After this placid incident things get exditing, and the first thing we know the star 0 the black pirate; rowing about and eapturime ships single. -handed and all that, Ail told two ships are blown up, and one is sunk under fire, The hero ]a tirade to walk the plank, and just how he extricated himself from that unhappy predicament after his hand, have harm tied behind his back is rat,]1e a story in itself. After view• ing this film there will no doubt be an exodus of small bays to the equ- atorial seas of various vacant lots and hack yards to clig for the huge quantities of doubloons and pieces of eight that "Doug's" pirates bury. With a story !leveret." ny the tang of the sea and highly spiced with' Fairbanksian stunts and the wildest' sort of adventure along with a pleas -1 int.: romance, it would seem that much is in store for nose who go down to the screen rn cushioned chairs to watch the unfoldment of flickering fantasies. The east for the picture is of very compact dimensions, There are on- ly two women in the piece,—Billie Dove and Temple Pigott, the latter in the role of maid to th.F heroine. Other featured players include An- ders Rtindolf as pirate captain; Sam 10' Grasse as the villainous pirate, ' and Donald Crisp as a trental kind of pirate. • tri support of these are some 500 of as wicked -looking freebooters as ever stopped out of a story book. To Reduce Postage. A government bill is to be intro- c deiced in the House of Commons to reduce the postage rate on Canadian daily and weekly newspapers from one and one-half cents to one cent per pound. Speak Correctly. "One Cent." When you mean one -tent,'; of a clime, or one-hundredth of a dollar. Do not say Penny °m referring, to Canadian coinage. A Penny is an English eein, of the value of about two cents. • The word Cent comes from the 51151' Latin source as the phrase Per Centum or per cent. It is do called , hecanfsr 0110 r e•nt. 1:1 one per centum or 01(1 our-llne'lr, dth of a dollar, ('- •.tn.t r .,li..ti Therfinllrir sold at n pec ' mium ]at N:•w York the other <ley, Another indication of the piping times that aro ju.et ahead, 1 Tour rival, in exchange for a share in his trade and territory. He left his wife in charge of the fort, which was de- fended by a garrison of only fifty ,men. Chat'nisay, hearing of this, at- tacked the post. In the first en- counter, Madame La Tour beat him off with the loss of 20 men killed and 13 wounded. Reinforced, he again attacked. Inspired by Madame La Tour, the defendants held out against repeated assaults, night and day, until toward evening of Inc fourth day, Easter Sunday, De Charnisay's Hien suceeded in making a breach in the palisade and entered the fort. After further desperate resistance, Madame La 'Tour finally surrendered, on promise that Oa lives of 1101' men should be spared. De Charnisay broke faith and hang- ed all the survivors except one man, whom he allowed to live on condition of acting as hangman to his com- panions, and Madame La Tour, who was compelled to witness their exe- cution with a rope round her own neck. Broken-hearted, ehe fell ill, 'and died within three weeks of the surrender. Somewhere within the precincts of the present city of St. John probably rests the body of the heroine of Fort La Tour. 'ri;, picture gives an idea of the arms and costumes of the period, At close quarters the fight probably was carried on with pistols, swords, and 16 -foot pikes. Some of the com- batants would wear steel helmets and breastplates, while others would be clad in wide skirted coats of buff leather, without sleeves. Madame La Tour's costume doubtless would consist of a close -fitting bodice taper- ing to the waist, with short lapels over the hips, a deep, wide -spreading skirt, and low shoes, LADY'S O' SF ` • COLUMN.
