STRATFORD HIGH SCHOOL

PRIZES PRESENTED TO PUPILS. ANNUAL FUNCTION IN TOWN HALL The annual prize-giving function of the Stratford Technical High School was held in the towii hall 'last night in the presence of a large number of parents, pupils and friends. The Mayor, Mr. P. Thomson, made the presentations. Mr. H. Trimble, chairman of the .board, presided. He said secondary schools had been singled out as avenues through which education might be effected without reducing efficiency of education. in general. He entirely disagreed with such an idea and stated that apart from the educational value which the pupils gained, the tone of the secondary school was of immeasurable value. That tone was chiefly governed by the older .pupils, from whose example the younger pupils benefited, greatly. Even one year at a secondary school, he said, would leave a beneficial impression on a pupil. Mr. Trimble congratulated the principal, the staff and the children upon the year’s work.

ELTHAM THEATRE. “PHANTOM OF PARIS.” The idol of the Parisian stage, flirting with danger, laughing at deathwhat a role for the dashing John Gilbert! In the “Phantom of Pans,” screening to-night at Eltham, he is in the role of Cheri-Bibi, the famous magician who laughs at locks and handcuffs, even those of the detective chief of the gay metropolis. His love affairs are not successful, for the father of the girl he loves is slain and murder is placed on Cheri-Bibi, who is sentenced to death. At the last moment his skill enables him to escape prison and he lies concealed for years. Meanwhile the girl has married the Marquis, from whom Cheri-Bi'bi wrings a confession on his death-bed, but has no witnesses. How he takes the place of the Marquis, and proves his innocence, reveals a story with a remarkably clever plot, and a happy ending. The supports include a most laughable comedy, "Mama Loves Papa,” feating the boy friend, “A Night in a Cabaret,” two colour-tone revues, and Hearst News Reel —a very enjoyable programme.
