The Plays. That FEntertained City In Its Young Days. The death in London, Ont, A. D. Holman, is 4 reminder to old- time Toronto folk of the 'pajmy days" of the Holman Qpera Co. One of these old-timers has been speak Ing 10 the Toronto News of the plays and 'the artists that brightened the Brey life of Toronto from 1867 to i871. It was the father of the late Mr. "Allie" D. Holman who directed the fortunes of the Royal Lyceum of Mr, To that class of investors the fif- teepyear Victory bond provided for in this issue should prove par- tienlarly attractive. Not only ly it 50 by reasofi. of 'its glli-edged character, hut plus this is the 51% Per cent. rate of interest that jt yigfds, which, on an investment of $25,000 gives the holder the nice little sum of $1,376 annually, and free from talation at that. The Un- jta@ States Liberiy Loan, on the other hand, would on a like invests ment, yield but $1,662, or $312 a year less, From the combined standpoint of stability and yield, the fifteen-year Vietory band will rank as the best Goyernment security in the world: The fact that trust companies have their eye upon it as ga preferential investment, is one of the strong proofs of its attractiveness. And they another fact to be taken into consideration is that hoth actually and relatively the issue will stead- ily appreciate In market value as time passes. J Bint, aside altogether from the in- tringfe value of the second Vietory | loan, and particularly the {ifteen- year maturity, as an investment, thera. Is a definite and direct call to the men whd can command five to twenty-five thousand dollars to sub- a it. As a matter of fact, it is the opinion' among the highest fingneial authorities in the Dominion wha have given particular attention to the study of the subjéci, that it the. Minister of Finance is to secure the much-desired and much-needed half 'a billion dollars, a great deal will depend upon the response of in- vestors in this five to twenty-five thousand dollar group of investors. There is bp sacrifice ubout it. The fact that the security is gilt-edged and 'the; yield generous, precludes such an interpretation. Men are not sacrificing. when #they are buying bargains, whether they be merchan- dise or bonds. But whether there is an element of saerifice or not, there is entailed an 'elément of patriotism. Whether the war ceases this year, or next, Canada needs every dollar of the half billion which the Minister of Finance seeks, if this country is to fulfil} its part in the struggle, and perform: its duty foward the Can- : adign®ads who are sacrificing their lives at the front. And the desider- eatre, which was situated in: the rear of Mr. Lyonde's photograph gal- lery, on King street. Mr. George Holman was counted a genius in Stage management and in the details of "production." Hiv brother, Mr. Alfred," was the treasurer, but George supehvised eyerything outside the box office, Among the members of the company were Mr. W. H. Crane, so favorably known in the medern theatre, and 'Signor Perugini, the famous tenor, who in those days warbled under the less imposing name of Jack Chatter- ton. The soubrette and the prima donna were respectively Julia and Sally Holman, daughters of the di- rector, Mr. Crane said on a recent ¥i8it to Toronto thd: he had never known a more versatile young womun than Sallie. She was winsome and distinctive, appearing to advantage in grand opéra, in comic opera, in trag- edy, comedy and in farce. When Mme. Tosti and her company gave "La Grande Duchesse" (Offen- bach) in the old Music Hall, now the Publie Library Branch on Church street, Mr. Holman closed his house and took the whole' company to see the new ppera. Two weeks after wards he gave a production of the work in English, which was most creditable, perhaps more creditable than Tosti's. The reminiscences touch upon the infatuation of. the gilded youth of that period for Sally and Julia. "Do you remember Fred -- 7" Mr, Crane was asked recent- ly. "Remen:ber him?" responded "Billy." "1 wanted to kill 'him. [I liked the girl myself." Another dis- tinguished citizen: of to-day tele- graphed his father from the confines of Upper Canada College that if he could not marry Julia, he would die, The answer was laconic: "Dre!" The young man thought better of it and became a lawyer. Sallie, like most and howls of protest must have aris- en from a flock of collegians. It is said that Mr. A. D. Holman was the last survivor of this distin guished and artistic family. Over $1,000,000 For Huts.

British Sea Captain Tells of Exper. fence With Austrians, From the experiences of a British Sea captain, It seems that the Aus- trian treatment of our mercantile is Worse even than the German trear- went, says the London Express. While homeward bound the cap- tains vessel was torpedoed early one morning in April of last yéur off the Italian coast. The third eugineer and two firemen, all British, 'were killed by the explosion, which wrecked the engine-room. The vessél sank stern first in 20 mintues, The captain and the remainder of the ship's company gol safely away in their-boats. About four hours later a sub- marine bofe down on the master's hoat, and ordered him aboard their vessel, telling him that he was to he taken to Germany as a prisoner of war. He remained a prisoner on the submarine for 12 days, after which he was landed at the Austrian port of Cattaro. Here he was subjected to a number of fndignities, and was subsequently sent to Germany. He Bpent a year in prison camp there, and is now interned in Holland. In a statement made since his in- ternment in Holland, the ¢aptain says: . "I was on board the submarine 13 days, and the only time we got any- thing to eat was when we sank a ship and had time to go on board and pirate her. I don't think there were ever such pirates as the German sub- marine men. "Those masters and officers who had the misfortune to be sunk in the Mediterranean will never forget the brutal treatment to which we were subjected by the Austrighs, being hungered and degraded until we go' out of the country. An improvement took place in Germany as far as treatment was concerned. "I was seven days in the train from Cattaro {0 Crefeld, and given two loaves of black bread for the journey, one of which I used as a pillow whilst lying in the corridor of the train for three days and nights out of the seven, "My happy release from Germany was quite wnexpected, for, consider- ing there were 108 officers in camp, only eight of us were permitted to have our freedom. Some of the offi- cers left behind are well on to 70 years of age.
