CITIES FAVOR PLAY IN ENGLAND (By Canadian Press leased Wire) London, Feb. 7.-- The Hu- mors of the Court," a play writ- ten by Dr. Robert Bridges, poet laureate, about 36 years ago but not performed in public ie very recently, hasgbesn receive by the critics with favor, It is an English imitation of a Span- ish comedy, and regret is express- ed by one critic that it has not had a place on the stage hereto- fore. : The Time's critic says: "It is very fitting that, soon after the close of the year which was distinguished by the appearance of his greatest work, past and present' members of the Oxford University Dramatic Soctety should do homage to the poet laureate by giving in the Arts Theatre two performances, of one of his early plays, and seldom can an act of homage, which may sound a dull origin of an after- noon's entertainment, have ' been better rewarded, It has been a cus- tom to speak of Dr. Bridge'sias if there were no place for them but in the library, and it is true that all the dramatic writing is beset by a certain shyness of the theatre, a seeming reticence in face of the crowd, which has withheld the poet from the warmth and depth of his undramatic poetry, He does not on the stage communicate his secrets; he writes always at a re- move from himseM making ack- nowledgement of his intention, "The Humors of the Court" is a highly artificial comedy gallantry and intrigue and has a Spanish ori- gin in Calderon and Lope. The first impression made by 'The Humors of the Court," even before you be- gin to enjoy its galety and its love- ly decorations, is an impression of escape. It is glittering with the tricks, the betrayals, the misunder- standings of lovers; its plot 1s charged-- too heavily charged with worldly complexities; yet it is not a worldly mind. Its crea- tures live in a rarefied atmosphere. Sometimes they are ingenious to the edge of absurdity, with the winning ingenuougness of a poet come to Court; sometimes they are Sir William Clark, British high commissioner, will probably occupy the first permanent official resi- dence in Ottawa of a representative of Great Britain, or any other country, as a result of negotiations for the purchase of "Earnscliffe," shown in the photograph here, once the home of Sir John A. Mac- the Bi SPECIAL SHOW \ donald, first prime minister of Can- ada. Its owners, heirs of the laté Dr. Charles A. E. Harriss, are ex- pected to accept an offer of be- tween $75,000 and $100,000 from British government, which plans to transform the historic re- sidence into a permanent home for high commissioners. Country Tributdry To P.G.E.R. Is Surveyed Development of Tributary Country and Extension to Tap Peace River Country Necessary for Success of Railway, Land Surveyors Are Told at Ottawa Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 7.-- (By The Canadian Press)--A detailed survey of some 20,000 square miles of un- developed country in British Col- umbia tributary to the Pacific Great Eastern railway was made during 1929, T. S. Nash announced at the annual meeting of the Dominoin Land Surveyors here Tuesday when making a report of the land surveys committee, "The success of this rail- way," he said, "the present terminus of which is at Quesnel on the Fraser river, though. it has been graded as far as Prince George depends upon the development of the( country tri- butary to it and its extension to tap the Peace river country. The rail- way is owned and operated by the people of British Columbia." In all the provinces oi Canada| there was an increasing public de- | mand for topographical surveys and| the resulting detailed maps whcih| were so. essential to the proper de-| velopment of our natural resources, | said Mr, Nash. | Town sites in the far north were] surveyed, settlements on James Bay| mapped out, oyster beds surveyed at| Prince Edward Island, the boundary | fixed between Ontario and Manitoba, | 100,000 acres blocked out in the Peace River district. Mr. Nash's re- port was an impressive summary of | the activity of this country in chart- ing its resources, With the pros- pect of making possible the deve lop- | ment of the country tributary of the| P.G.E, surveys were made in co- operation with the Government of British Columbia, the Canadian Na- tional Railway and the Canadian Pa- cific Railway. For the purpose of as- certainnig the extent of the natural resources as well as the best route for the extent of the railway, 12 survey parties, as well as geologists, foresters, and waterpower engineers were sent into the field to collect the required data. The country covered includes a block between Bridge riv- er and Chilkeotin river, a block be- tween Chilcotin river and Chilako river, both on the west side of the Fraser river in the vicinity of Ques- nel Lake. The total areca of these blocks amounts to some 12,000 square miles, "North of Prince George," Mr. Nash said "a block of approximately 10,000 square miles in the vicinity of Parsnip River and Peace River val- ley was also surveyed, and since there was available very little reli- able information concerning this area, in the way of accurate maps, it was necessary to make them, since the first cssential to the proper study of natural resources over a large area of country is a good de- tailed map ot be used as a basis on which to show the resources, infor- mation collected by the geologists, foresters, engineers, etc." "Here the aeroplane was brought into service," said Mr. Nash, "and in co-operation with the Royal Can- adian Air Force the Topographical Survey of the Department of the In- terior assisted the Provincial Gov- ernment in obtaining vertical acrial photographs covering approximately 5000 square miles. To this was add- ed another 3000 square miles by a commercial company. "From the information collected by the sutveyors, aided by aerial pho- tographs, detailed maps are presently being prepared at Victoria to accom- pany, the report on the resolirces. "The surveys of thie Department of the. Interior for 1929 extended over minion. There was mapping from the Rocky Mountains to the Mari- times. There was townsite work at Fort Smith and at Aklavik on Mac- kenzie river delta, A settlement was laid out on an island in James Bay, and surveys were made to govern the leasing of oyster beds in Prince Edward Island. The aeroplane was pressed into service and for the first time was the sole means of trans- port of a party making land surveys on Churchill river and Reindeer lake, thereby adding many weeks to the effective survey season that would otherwise have been spent in ardu- ous toil on the portage. "The rush of settlers into the Peace River district necessitated the resumption of subdivision surveys and two parties blocked out over 100,000 acres of farm lands for set- tlement, 1 ich of which was already squatted upon, This tide of settle- ment is largely due to the growing of prize grain in the district a few vears ago and to the discussion of an outlet to the Pacific and has grown to such proportions that more extensive subdivision will be required or a number of years, of lands that have been examined and found emi- nently suitable for farming "A preliminary survey was made of the Ontario-Manitoba Boundray from the northern end of the meri- dianal portion northeasterly to the castern end of Island Lake. The geographical position of the former point has been accurately determined from geodetic points in southern Manitoba, but the position of the latter was known only - from map- ping + operations, which were not deemed sufficiently accurate to de- termine the direction of a trail line 90 miles long, and an accurate as- tronomical determination of this po- sition was considered necessary, Or- dinarily this would have meant de- laying the work one year to permit these observations to be made. To avoid this delay, the geodetic survey undertook, by making use of aero- plane transportation, to make the necessary observations 'at Island Lake, and to deliver the results of the computations to the party at the other end of' the 90 miles line in time to correct the direction of the trail line begun at that point if ne- cessary. This was done, and the re- sult of the observations of the Geo- detic Survey Party was found to be so close to the bearing of the trail line that the latter was carried through to the end, a distance of 90 miles, without deflection and missed its objective by only five feet. This indicates .an extremely high degree of accuracy in the taking of the ob- servations, determining the bearing of the line and in carrying the line forward as a truly straight line. "The statue of Champlain on Ne- pean Point in Ottawa" said Mr. Nash, "is holding in' its outstretched hand an absolute instrument known as an astrolabe, which was in use by navigators for obtaining altitudes of the stars before the invention of the sextant. Within recent years French scientists have developed a new type of instrument for taking star alti- tudes to which also has been given the name astrolabe." Mr, Nash de- scribed this instrument in some de- tail and stated that the Topographi- cal Survey of Canada had found it to be superior to various other forms of portable instruments in determin- ing latitudes and longitudes by as- the length and breadth of the Do- tronomical observations. support the beauty of the words they speak; but they are never cynical and, by the. grace of Dr, Bridges, which more powerful than any manner he can impose upon , himself, they. are néver smart. To say that they were love- able would be to say too much, but they have a fairy-like quality which makes their company con- tinuously delightful and\raises the play above the level of their con- trivanceh, Y London, Feb, 7.'Juno and Paycock" has been made into a talking 'picture.
