IIEID, blanager Yeevr Building--Corner bfarine and 14th TH E I)LACK iVATCH (from B. C. Veteran Magazine. "l.egion.") ~Vhile our policy is to encour- age the use of British and Can- adian fiims in Canada, we do not feel that we are in any sense departing from that policy in urging upon Canadians that they sc.e without fail, at least one American-produced film, namely TIIE BLACK 4VATCH. EVere more of this type of picture to come to us from across the bor- der, our objection to American films must surely vanish. Imagine if you can, an Ameri- can-made film (produced by Fox Films) in which absolutely no trace of Americanism exists. The story is that of the novel, "King, of the Khyber Rifles." The atmosphere is wholly Brit- ish, the scenes being laid in Eng- land, France and India. The lead- ing role is taken by Victor Mc- Lagan: himself an ex-officer of the British Army, with war ser- vice in the East. IVith an author whose work appears regularly in this maga- zine, an ex-officer of the British Navy, we attended the premier showing of the film in Toronto. IVe ivere both never so happy tn stand at attention during the playing of the National Anthem «s after viewing this picture. AVe have not yet lost, nor shall we ever lose that feeling of pride, engendered anew by the view of this film that we, too, served the Empire, even though in a humble capacity during those troublous days of the Great War. EVe defy anyone to sit un- moved while seeing and hearing (it is a talking picture) this film. whether or not Scotch blood runs in your veins, the skirl of the bag-pipes, the swing of the kilts, the departure of those "Old Contemptibles" for France, the battle scenes in the mud of Flanders cannot leave you cold. Captain King, of the Black IVatch is detailed by the IVar Office to a secret mission in In- dia. This, on the eve of the i t.giment's departure for France. Fellow officers feel that he is not playing the game in leaving them ivhen the sternest work of ~ the regiment's history lies just before them across the Channel. But King, whose lips are sealed against explanations has a more important duty to perform. On the northern frontier of India lie half-civilized tribes, non- Christians, who have never fully acknowledged the sovereignty of Rri tain. They were being stirred tn revolt by u mysterious white princess, whom they acceptd as a godtless. King. borri anti brought up in the district, is chosen to prevent this outbreak, this "holy war." We are not subsidized to boost this picture'. admiration for the film alone calls forth this praise. This Picture will be at Lons- dale, Montlay, Tuesday and IVed- «esday. No returned man or wo- malr, no one who prides himself or herself upon being a Britisher should miss this film. bliss Joan Cullington, )Vest Hay, divas a tea hostess last Sun- day. o o o Mrs. Hunt, who has been vis- iting in Regina, has returned to her home at 15th and Water- front. ~ o a School Trustee ~Irs. i~I.

If it is desired to plant annuals to cover the los. of the Narcissi, it is permissible to dress the beds in the fall with rich manure, and in the early spring when the bulbs are through flowering the soil will be in good condition to support the double crop.

If it is desired to riaturalize these plants it is well to plant the largest bulbs six to eight inches deep, and thre inches apart, allowing them to remain until they form hardy clumps.
