A new world's retard for theatre
einttendance end box office receipts has
'been established by Douglas Pair -
'banks' latest United, Artists produc=
ttionr' "The Mark of Zorro "
In a single day the premier, at the
ICai$tpl- Theatre in New York City,
n thousand, five hundred and
foen (19,547) patrons saw
, the pic=ture between the hours of one
and eleven. The total admissions net-
ted the Capitol box office $11,708.32.
This is the largest amount of money
• that has ever been taken in for a ,no-
• tion picture on a single day in any
theatre in the world and it establishes
the "high water" mark for theatre
attendance also.
Police reserves were called out at
the theatre on the opening day to
handle the crowds and it was neces-
sary to close the theatre to the public
shortly after nine o'clock at night and
refuse further admissions, while the
police "shooed" bhe people away. This
is unprecedented in the history of
amusements.
'The attendance and box office re-
cords of the Capitol Theatre which is
the largest thesrtre in the world, were
broken for the week, also, but the
remarkable opening attendance is
something that has created a sensa-
tion ;among theatre men.
Critics, fans and theatre owners de-
clare this picture of Fairbanks to be
the greatest he has ever made.
"The Mark of Zorro" will ,be shown
at The Strand Theatre on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, with a
Matinee on Monday.

Hon. T. A. Crerar In Seaforth.—
On Thursday evening last Hon.. T. A.
Orerar, leader of the Farmers' Party
in the Dominion, addressed a meeting
Seaforth. C
in
r reran was accom-
panied by A. Hicks, M.P.P., Rev. Mr.
Amos and Mr. William Black, U.F.O.
candidate in South Huron. The meet-
ing was held in the Strand Theatre,
but the attendance was so large that
an overflow meeting had to be held
in the town hall, which was also
crowded. This was Mr. Crerar's'fi•rst
appearance in this district and while
he is not an orator, he is a fluent,
pleasing and convincing speaker and
received a splendid hearing. It was
one of the most largely attended po-
litical meetings ever held in Seaforth.
New Law Firm.—Mr. J. M. Best,
barrister of Seaforth, has taken into
partnership his son, Mr. John H. Best
and the firm will be. known hereafter
as Best & Best, and will carry on a
general law practise, conveyancing
and real estate. Neither of the firm
need any introduction to the people
as Mr. J. el, Best has enjoyed a large
legal practise here for thirty years,
while Mr, John H. Best is a graduate
of the Seaforth Collegiate, and of
Osgoode Hall, Toronto, and since 'his
return from overseas, where he serv-
ed three years, having been wounded
in France, has been with hie father.
The new firm is now located in their
handsome new offices in the Edge
Block on Main Street.
Thankoffering Meeting.—There was
quite a large gathering of ladies of
the W. M, S. of the Presbyterian
church on Tuesday afternoon at the
annual thankoffering meeting. Mrs.
J. Cowan led in the opening prayer.
Mrs. Keith McLean took the Scripture
• reading. The offering was then re-
ceived, which amounted to $232:65
and was dedicated to the Lord in
prayer by Miss H. I. Graham. Mrs.
James Archibald gave the Bible les-
' son on Faith and Courage. The prin-
t cipal speaker was Mrs. R. A. Lundy.
The theme of her talk was "What
Shall I Render to the Lord for all His
Benefits." It was a rich message on
the life of love and the joyousness
of Christian service. The story of
"Why the Chimes Rang" was beautir
- fully told, and her whole address was
listened to with closest attention by
those present. The choir leader and
organist, with some members of the
society, were present and their music
added greatly to the success of the
meeting.

Smith—Dallas. — The following
wedding announcement, which we
take from the Press and Banner, of
Abbeville, South Carolina, will be of
interest to a great many friends in
Seaforth and vicinity, as both the
bride and her mother are well known
here, Mrs. Dallas having spent the
past summer in Seaforth with her
sister, Mrs. John Beattie. The des-
patch is dated Donalds, S. C., October
20th: "One of the most beautiful
weddings and one of interest to many
friends throughout the state was that
of Miss Margaret Collie Dallas and
Benjamin Henry Smith, of Donalds,
which took place in Greenvale church
on Wednesday, October 19th at 4.30
o'clock. The ancient and historic
church was prettily decorated. The
background4ovas of autmn leaves while
the altar was banked with numerous
ferns and potted plants. The ever-
green arch supported by large white
columns entwined with English ivy
was a fitting place for the young
couple to plight their troth. The
many pretty candles shed a soft glow
over the scene. The strains of
Lehengrin's wedding march played
by Mrs. Paul Haddon announced the
entrance of the 'bridal party. The
first to enter were the ushers, Messrs.
Paul Haddon and Charles Smith.
These were followed by Rev. J. M.
Dallas, pastor of the church and
father we the bride, with his son, Rev.
Archibald Elgin Dallas, B.D., pastor
of the First Presbyterian church,
Rockingham, N. C. The groam with
his best man, Mr. E. C. Donald, en-
tered next and approached the dear.
The bride came next accompanied`'by
her only sister, Mrs. J. Y. Garland, of
Marshville, N. C., and took her place
under the arc$= where she was met
by the groom. The ceremony which
united the young couple was perform-
eid by the bride's father who was as-
sisted by his son, the impressive ser-
vice of the Presbyterian church being
used. The girlish bride looked pretty
in a rich but plain going -away gown
of navy blue French serge with fac-
ings of flame canton crepe. With
this she wore a becoming hat of navy
blue silk velvet with pheasant wings,
gloves and other accessories to harm-
onize, and wore satin slippers. She
carried a shower bougi et of bride's
roses and lace ferns. Her only orna-
ment • was a string of pearls. Mrs.
J. Y. Garland was becomingly corn-
ed in navy blue Canton crepe with
touches of Harding ]rine georgette.
She wore a large black picture hat,
with kid gloves and satin slippers,
and carried a bouquet of pink earns,
tons and roses With maidenhair fern.

the organization of a society to be
known as the St. Thomas Anglican
Club. Interesting addresses relative

The Flanders Poppy for Armistice
Day.—As each successive anniversary
of Armistice Day has passed, the
sentiment has been expressed among
the peoples of the Allied nations that
there should be some. tangible evi-
dence of the reverence in their^ hearts
for the heroic dead who made peace
possible. The children of the devast-
ed areas of France gave the nucleus
of idea which is rapidly gaining re-
cognition, when they gathered t'he red
poppies which grow in profusion in
Flanders and Northern France, and
decorated the graves of the fallen
heroes near their homes. The sug-
gestion from childish hands was seiz-
ed upon by the French Children's
League, which had been endeavoring
to formulate plans in' prder to pro-
vide for the thousands of orphan chil-
dren in their country. They placed
the worsen and children of the war
area at work making silk replicas of
the poppy, with the idea in mind that
they could be sold and the proceeds
devoted to this pressing need. This
yea the proposal has been taken up
by the local branch of the G.W.V.A.,
and the Flower of Remembrance will
be offered for sale in Seaforth by the
Ladies' Auxiliary and it is hoped that
the citizens generally will co-operate
with the War Veterans in carrying
out this most worthy campaign.
