Forest Fire Lecture
There was a good attendance

j at the lecture in the Forestry car

on Wednesday night. The car is
sent out by the Canadian Fores-
iry Association for educational
purposes, It is on the road most
of the year. There are two lec-
turers'on the car. They have a
moving picture machine and a
gramaphone to help out their talk
Altogether the evening’s enter-
tain ment was not too bad.

Big Crop Prospects

Reports from the Bulkley -Val-
ley are that the crops.this year
are away ahead of vast years at
this date. Unlike the average
season there have been good
spring rains that have brought
the stuff along in fine shape.
Just now the greatest’ need is
warm weather. Enough mois-
ture bas been supplied so that
vegetation will stand quite along
dry spell and give the farmers a
real bumper crop.

“The Sea Hawk” Bound —
To Seore A Big Hit

Milton Sills in the role of Sir
Oliver Tressilian, an. English
knight who later becomes Sakr-
el-Bahr, the idol of Algerian
corsairs, will appear on the screen
at the Hazelton Theatre on Tues-
day. evening, June 22, in the
Frank Lioyd. dramatization of
Rafael Sabatini’s greatest novel,
‘The Sea Hawk.” ="

Never have there been ships
of such size, norso many of them
actually engaged in combat on
the séreen; in fact, never have
such ships been seen on it; never
so many big settings, so many
important, surprising. incidents.
There have been more expensive
photoplays, it is true, and maybe
some more pretentious in-some
particular sequence. but it. is
doubtful if any screen has re-
flected a drama of such general
bigness as ‘The Sea Hawk,” and
the settings are merely incidental
to the principal interest of the
play.

‘The management of the Hazel-
ton Theatre, in responding to
many requeats to obtain this pic-
ture, feels that the extra expense
involved will be more than justi-
fied, and hopes that ‘‘The Sea
Hawk’”’ will be but the. forerun-
ner of more of such outstanding
productions, - a OS
