Jock Holland, the chic "Leading Lady" has a wonderful wardrobe with some of his costumes costing several hundred dollars each. His new musical numbers are par- ticularly noteworthy and he spent last summer in London and Paris picking out the best he could find in the way of songs, costumes, wigs, ete.

He has been away from the Company for over a year directing the Montreal Community Players. A new *Dis- covery" and extremely popular mem- ber of the Company this season is Gene Pearson who is sald to possess the finest Soprafio Voice of any fe- male impersonator before the public. Two years ago he went into vaude- ville and created a sel ion. A leading critic said he had the most extraordinary voice of afty man ever heard before the Montreal public. There are twenty-five: brilliant new numbers comprising everything from Jaz to Light Opera and the Programme includes the finest con- certed work ever offered by this famous company. Jimmy Goode, with his original line of Darkey hum- our is funnier than he was in "Full O* Pep." Bob Anderson, of course, excells in his deMghttu! humor, while the famous quartette with Bill Tennant, Bertram Langley, Tom Young and Jerry Brayford shine more brilliant than ever in their magnificient new offering.

Strongheart will be at the Capitol Theatre, in "The Loye Master," the latest production starring this dog Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, It is the finest production in which Strongheart has ever appeared, and that is saying that it ranks high among the be entertainments ever offered by er Laurence Trimble, responsible for the training of Strongheart, not-¥nly directed the production, but also 'wrote the story, and his keen per- ability of higsstar adds to the fascina- tion of the picture. An outsider, one who did not know Strongheart as in- timately as Mr. Trimble, would not have dared to require a dog to do the things Which Strongheart déus in a manner that makes it look aw- fully easy. It is splendid comedy, and yet there is a heart appeal in it that can- not be escaped. Incidentally Lady Julie, a splendid fawn colored police dog, who plays the part, of the "blonde," is the first dog we have seen on the screen who can compete with Strongheart in sheer ability to portray emotions. 'In fact, Strong- heart seems to' encourage competi- tion, The story concerns itself w Young man who bas chosen refng in the north at a Kading post, which is reigned over by the young niece of the two men who own the general store. Nothing much is known about him except that he is in dire need of money for some purpose, and the seems to be the one best way of getting #.
