To date all that has been found of the missing boy is his wallet, which contains his birth certificate, 'passport and four dollars in Canadian curren- cy. This was picked up by Isaac Lane, a farmer, beside a stump near the Rawdon Township boun- dary, in the County of Northum- berland on May 25. The boy 'made the trip across the Atlantic on the Antonia, which docked in Montreal on May 20, and immedi- ately preceeded to the home of Rutherford a ' Rawdon Township farmer. But before the boy arrived Rutherford had secured another man, and did not need a second. In order that he might not be out-of work, Ruther- ford arranged with a farmer in Seymour West to engage him, and was to have taken him to his new place on Wednesday, May 23, but the lad was gone and search fail- ed to reveal any trace of him or any message saying why he had left or where he had intended go- ing, The boy was entirely ignor- ant of the surrounding country, The Peterboro police have com- municated with the Immigration officials at the Port of Montréal, and have also started to investi- gate along several other lines that may furnish some information as to the missing lad"s whereabouts. Many of those who have heard the subject discussed are of the opin- ion that the boy was accidentally drowned, Not uncommon is the belief that the boy became despon- dent and committed some rash act, but to date there has been nothing definite established by the authori- ties who are Investigating.

Glancing k over a century and a half of plays and players in Montreal, one is struck by the fact that the ama- teur stage, so puny today as com- pared with its robust commercial brother, is the senior by some dec- ades here, Graphic pictures of early theatri- cal days are preserved between the covers of "Histrionic Montreal," a work written and published thirty years ago by Franklin T, Graham, Mr. Graham's history, comprehensive in its scope, reliable in detail and vigorous in its literary style, stands as an unique contribution to Cana- diana and one which is today prized by discerning book collectors, Prob- ably no art has been so neglected by Canadian chroniclers as the histrion- ic, and one phase of Mr. Graham's work alone, the biographical notes covering every actor, who mouthed his lines on a Montreal stage between 1783 and 1898, should be of interest even to students of the theatre far removed from Montreal, Amateur theatricals made their de- but in the isolated Frenth town on the St. Lawrence with the arrival of the British army of occupation in 1760, In the eighteenth century British officers, stationed thousands of miles away from London in a primitive land the population of which afforded little opportunity for the social recreations to which they were accustomed, were wont to en- liven garrison life with dabbling in the field of drama, In barracks halls, weirdly adorned with makeshift scenery, colonels and subalterns who fought under Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham rendered the tragedies of Shakespeare and the broad comedies of the Restoration, By degrees they added-to their com- pany from the civilian society of the day and the play as a pastime gained a hold on the hearts of the better-off burghers, From Mr. Graham's book we learn that the first proffessional talent found its way to Montreal by water from Albany, shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War, This ven- turesome troupe had fallen on evil days during the war because of its British extraction. Its run in Mon- treal was brief and apparently profit- less, During two succeeding decades sev- eral similar visits were paid by com- panies from American cities, but it was not until 1804 that professional players made any attempt to estab- lish themselves in the frontier city, In that year a Mr, Ormsby brought a New York company to Montreal. He fitted out the town's first thea- tre, on the upper floor of a ware: house, then standing on St. Sulpice street, near St, Pauly Mr, Ormsby's comedians did not survive very long, but troupes which performed after him in the theatre which he estab- lished met with better support and within the next quarter of a century the public was educated into appre- ciation of the commercial playhouse, It is hoped that these experiments in the musical treatment of inei- dents in Canadian history, conducted by leading artists under favorable auspices, will stimulate others to similar attempts, Here is a field, the surface of which has as yet scarcely been scratched, offering rich material for the painter, the writer, the dram- atist and the composer, A YOUNG RUSSIAN ARTIST PJCTURES - SCENES AT DOCK Montreal, Que., May. 28,--At the recent spring exhibition of the Art Association of Montreal much inter- est was shown in a group of water colors, executed by Alexander Ber- covitch, a young Russian, so recently arrived in this country that he has not yet acquired more than a few words of English. In picturing scenes along Mon- treal's waterfront Mr. Bercovitch comes near to succeeding completely where a host of well-known artists have failed, In this age of bulking, smuted tramp steamers, with no expanse of graceful canvas, to relieve their stark utilitarianism, it is very difi- cult to' instil beauty and harmony of line into a harbor scene, The beauty is there, as any artist can see, disguised as it may be to the layman by graceless derricks and clumsy engines of modern commerce. But to put it on canvas--there is a task which requires daring concep- tion and skill in design. The immigrant from Russia, who works for his living during the day and has only his evenings for the pursuit of art, has accomplished this BETTER THAN SODA FOR 'SOUR, GASSY STOMACH : "For some time I used soda for gas and sourness.
