The Canadian war play epitom- izes the spirit of young Canada in Flanders. 'The war was not all mud and 'crumps," route marches and bayonet charges--there were times when the irrepressible and hu- man spirits of the soldier broke the re- straints of his environments and he made his life happy by quip and jest, parody and trench ditty. The comedy has caught humor and the spectator is enter- ined with'quick humor, snappy dislogue and soldier songs from the opening to. the final curtain. Through it all is a strong theme--the education, of the new officer just arrived in Franeé, To complete his ed- jon, the general, the battalion works 'the major, right down through all ranks to the batman, have to be brought cast of 27 men, every one of whom has served over two' years in France. 'This Cunsdian war play was given 8 special performance at the Hart House, Toronto, on Saturdey. evening last, before the delegates to the Congtess of Chambers of Commerce, of the British Empire. The play wns greeted enthusiastically by the distinguished audience, the press notices being highly flattering. It will be present- ed at the Grand Opers House here néxt Tuesday, Sept. 28.
