The travellers carried their own camping outfit with them, but where- ver posible secured oa house. They travelled something like 3000 miles to ret here but repurt having had a: won- derful trip, the best ever, and everyone _ of the party, even the children, are de- Hghted to get to British Columbia to make their homes.

Mr. Decair was a merchant in Pinewood for fourteen years and he packed his goods in a bigsauto freight ear and shipped it to Terrace.

Next Saturday At -Hazelton Against the thunderous background of war-torn France, with flying aces zooming in the air overhead and the backwash of the world’s most terrible conflict bringing panic to the pesantry,, 4 little slip of a girl in simple frocks takes you to great emotional heights, briugs a heart throb here and a tear there, as you follow her through one of the greatest romances ever told. That, in a sentanee, Is “Lilac ‘Time’ First National's great new special piec- ture starring Colleen Moore at the Hazelton theatre on Saturday next, "Lilac Time” is truly great, and.Col- leen Moore is brilliant in a role that rises to emotional heights. This clever little comedian, who sprang jato fame in the flapper pictures of a few yeary ago, is justly entitled to a niche among the best drametic actresses of all time as the result of this great role in the picturization of the stage play by Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin. As Jeannine, the little French girl who lives within hearing of the rumble of the great guns, who hides her tears hehind «a smile as her sweetheart goes away to almos certain death, Miss Moore demonstrates supreme artistry that establishes her as 2 consumate actress of dramatic strength and power Gary Cooper, who acts the role of her War ace sweetheart, is an idetl lending man, "Aside from good looks and a Ukeable persom?"*y, he is an excelicnt ractress- and-: gives. a, brilliant . mance, | “Lilac Time” is not a war -picture Jeannine would have no part in a “wa? story” at least no major part. Rather, “Lilac Time” isa heart story—a ro- mance supreme, a gripping, poignant, compelling human narrative that has the background of the World War—a conflict that swirls and eddies behind this frail lass of Sunny France. The successful motion picture is the one that ‘takes you bodily from your theatre seat and carries you to the locale of the story. “Lilac Time” does just this, You find yourself. living those hectic days over agnin with little Jeannine, thrilling to her joys and sym- pathizing in her sorruws.’ And Miss Moore's clever portrnyal of the little French girl is responsible for this. Muasterfully directed by George Fitz- maurice with Gary Cooper playing op- posite the star; with u fine supporting cast and marvelucus photography with thrilling air battles done with unbe- Iievable renlism; with the true flavor of France in every sequence, “Lilac Time” comes very nepr to being the perfect picture. Certainly it is per- fect entertainment ond Colleen Moore is a revelation. ~ “T.ilac Time” was produced for First Nationale by John McCormick, and tha superlative cast, all of whom deserve an individual word of praise, Includes Burt McIntosh, George.
