Saturday evening, the minstrel show { by the cadets was an entire success. { New jokes that sent their guests in- § to shouts of laughter were told by the minstrels, and their singing was { tuneful and bright. Dr. Ignatz : Schultzheimer, F.0.B., A W.L. (G.C. Trent) gave an amusing monologue * which he began by saying "God f made all good things, but Prohibi- . tion made the bootlegger," a senmti- _ ment which met with loud applause, i "The Green Ray," a Russian rusi- 'eal tragedy in ome act, was cleverly "done and had a beauty chorus of "co-eds" which was second to none. ; The extremely short skirts were an © awful warning to the girls in the audience meditating on the subject of spring clothes, but for all that the chorus, as all such choruses * should do, won the hearts of the ' audience on their first appearance. The tragedy centres around the poi- soning of the father of Dr. Vanka Sergevitch by the father of his lady love, Olga, wifich was alleged to have been done by a mouldy shred= ded wheat biscuit. A dual persona- lity played by J. W. Thornton &nd W. W. Darling, in the part of Dr. Jekyliski and Mr. Hydeovitch, Was splendidly dome, and L. C. Mather made an entirely charming Olga. Everything is straightened out by the appearance of the father who has beéll dead for seven years and who it appears stole. the shredded wheat biscuit in the first place. : But the main effort of the even- ing, whish certainly was crowned ~ with success, was the fantastic 'drama in verse, "Wylde Harold," written by Major B. de L. Green- wood, R.E., formerly adjutant of the R.M.C. The scenery was exception- ally good. The stone walls of Sir Mortimer de Windward Lea baroni- al hall wer® most realistic, and their armorial bearings, a great coat of arms with the motto, "Treat 'em Ruff," was flanked by shields and ar- for. The story of "Wylde Harold" (H. C, Fair) caught by Sir Morti- mer"s (G. G. Simmons) soldiery, . gorgeous in red and gold uniforms, and sentenced to be hanged, res- cued by his lady-love the haron's lovely daughter (J. FP. Acer) and finally turning out to be a person of consequence and wealth, is all told in verse, and the up-to-date #lang introduced amidst the old world setting made a most amusing audience that filled the burlesque of this well though® out play. G. L. Foster as tne Lady Pus' tacia, the mother of the lovely "Toots," Hareld's 'only girl," brought down the house by her splendid acting. "Harold" was am ideal lover in a gorgeous green cos- tume and plumed hat. Between the acts the illustrated song, "Dear old R.M.C.," by 1. B. Birks, showed some of the saddér moments in the life'of a recruit, and the sergeant (H. C. Lane) who drilled the .four unhappy recruits, must by his clever mmpersonation have awakened painful memories in the minds of the ex-cadets present. P. C. Fair was accompanist. "The Broken Friendship" by G. L. Foster with A. R. Saunders and C. H. T. Rompel "in the hard parts" was excellent. At the conclusion of the play there was a loud call for "author," and Major 'Greenwood, who had come from Montreal for the 'first night" of his play, appeared amidst deafen- ing applause. 'He congratulated the caste on their performance and said that to them went most of the credit of the success. Refreshments were served between the acts and at the conclusion of Ahe programme a short dance was held which ended at midnight. A box for contribution to the Ber- nardo Home was in the entrance to the room. Among those present were Major- General Sir Archibald and Lady Macdonell, Major-General and Mrs.. J. H.

The Toronto city chapters during the |' past five years have raised $55,000. Kingston's contribution is $6,000, At St. Fey Mission. Much to the regret of the people of St. George's Mission Bund School, Montreal street, last night) was the last time for seeing the beautiful and select scripture ple- tures and the very dnstructive lec- tures accompanying them, which they have had for the four Sundays during Lent.
