Credit for several new presentations such asthe shadow pantomine and some other things must be given to Mrs Wha- ley, who was untiring in her efforts to train the performers for. their many unique parts. We cannot go into de. tail but the gathering of the nations, each represented by a young lady with ( national flag and in appropriate coetume, Brittannia with trident towering over all was one of the but. Then the per- formance of Glenna Campbell posturing in the dim red light, to show mental attitudes, fairly caught the audience, who sat spell bound in a silence not ex. ceeded at dark midnight while the faint i echoes of a distant choir (shut in ses- l ion room) came harmoniously to the The shadow work performers not be tween a light and screen and the story of a successful lover was clearly shown from first advances, to the Klondike where so well did he make shovel and pick go that he got his nugget and came home and claimed " lady love and the parents, who at flrttt raised strong ob- js etions were quite won over.

His _ battalion relies upon him. and in the (housing of Machine Gun men the 0 0 of the battalion has to be a rare judge of mm and of their worth. Lieut. Col. J.
