Thus, today, the fruit of the pact of 1886 is still being harvested. Similar experiences can be culled from many other branches of | organized railway work. For ex- ample, Hon. G. D.

What more eloquent testimony of relations between the company and its employees could be found} have been suppressed lest It should scare away a shrewd and' intelligent publie, "The story comes from Zealand. In that country, as in some others that need not he mentioned, it sometimes happens that those in control of theatrical productions underestimate the taste and the brains of their pub- lic, Miss Elizabeth Blake was ad- vised that the New Zealand pub- lic would not like Shakespeare. Miss Blake appears to have known oth Shakespeare and the New Zealand public better than her advisers; but she also knew, no doubt, that the pame of Shakes- peare had become associated, through examinations at gchool and other causes, with the high- brow and the inhuman, So she kept Shakespeare's name off the bills. And her public, left to their own judgment, likes Shakespeare very much, "A different but a successful course was followed when the Memorial Theatre at Stratford- upon- Avon first sent Shakespeare to the middle and western portions of anther con- tinent. There- was no hushing-up the guilty secret of the author- ship of the plays; but, with lec- ture and talk and newspaper arti- cle, forerunners prepared the ground by explaining that Shake- fpeare was not all high-brow, or high-hat, but a real theatre-guy, who, though no longer actually at work, had written some fine, strong dramas and some very a- musing comedies, most of which had been produced with great New similarly CONSTIPATION Banished for 20 Years No one could have had more ex- | perience of constipation than this man, His method of correcting the trouble would surely put right any» body who suffers in a similar way, "I am now approaching my 49th birthday and have wsed Kruschen Salts for many years, As a boy times agonies from This was, after a time, somewhat times, had a weakening effect, On someone's recommendation a bottle of Kruschen at 7.45 am."--E, A[ D, The six salts in Kruschen are Nature's own prescription for keep- '| ir. r the organs of climination work- ing properly---gently but surely ex- pelling all poisonous waste matter every day.

And In the end even Hol lywood accepted Shakespeare, and on the whole very handsomely. 'Vhen 'The Taming of the Shrew' as being filmed, a great leader admitted: 'It is Shakespeare-- but we're making it comedy." The old play has heen more warmly praised; but it was a great thing for Shakespeare that Hollywood saw possibilities in him, "It is possible to be too hard upon the devotees who had turn- ed Shakespeare into a monster of perfection, What they chiefly meant to do was certainly not to scare away the general reader and the general playgoer, It was, indeed, the opposite: it was to show that Shakespeare was 'uni- versal- enough to appeal to every one, and to go on appealing to them for all time, And that fe what Shakespeare continues to do, when he is given a fair chance in the theatre, as the story from New Zealand proves oncn more, "A lingering effect of the bar- dolatory, increased, perhaps, by some of the Shakespeare lessons in schools, is that people do not dare to speak with the candor of King George III, and to say (if they think so) that some of Shakespeare is 'sad stuff." And that is a right which every play- goer values, and of which he should never be deprived. How to maintain it for him in England is not an easy problem. It involves, beyond all else, a great deal of regular acting of Shakespeare, under the conditions which will make him most effective to the contemporary playgoer; but what those conditions are, each era, and each town or theatre, too, perhaps, must settle for itself, "To know Shakespeare in the theatre is the best of all cures for thinking that his plays are high-brow and the enjoyment of him and affectation, In his own land it is probably too late to fol. low the example from New Zea- land it is probably too late to fol- low the example from New Zea- land and keep his name off the bills; and, indeed, that would rouse the wrath of all the erities, professional and amateur, of the kind who does not know what to cay about a play when he does not know who the author is. But anything that c¢ould give Shake- speare his fair chance as a dra- matist among other dramatists would do the public a good turs. And the entertainment of the pub- lic, not the fame of Shakespeare, is the really important thing." NO SUPPLIES WILL BE BOUGHT IN MONTREAL Montreal. --No Chinese war sup- plies have been bought in Montreal or will be purchased in Montreal This was learned definitely from the man through whom the poten- tial war contracts were to pass. "It looked for a while as if some~ thing might materialize, but nothing will happen now", said this prospec- tive purchasing agent definitely, He said that there had been many rumors about soldiers' tunics and belts being manufactured in Mont~ rea), but it looked as if the Chinese now seemed assured the Learue of Nations would prevent hostilities. He also believed that the shi ping of war supplies from Canada, a neutral nation, constituted 8 breach of the League of Nations' gules, of which Canada is a mem- er, It is true, that things like socks and mitts could "be shinped out, since there was no proof these were destined for war, but Canada could not in good faith countenance the manufacture and shipping of war woods without serious complications he declared. ; What the local Chinese may do- on their own initiative has, of course, no bearing on this question, DODD'S" KIDNEY ~ % PILLS = a i, ta, \ ANAS 3 of KIDNEY Bac acH® LE ODER rrou® ER WOT Sa al! y Al aR 2087 THE PRI | J Amazingreception, magnificent tone through use of Pentode and Hi-mu tubes- full dynamie speaker, 526 Simcoe St. Scuth SUPERHETERODYNE and a beautiful console model Sonat Nov, RADIO with brand new i To OTHER SONORA MODELS 852-50 \vp 867-50 Sonora's F «20+ Hi plan oi A ug Parikh ever offered in Canada.
