These«twelve soldiers, with their Lieutenant Colonel, H. James, came from the District Supply and Transport Office, Military District No. 2, Toronto, where, between their everyâ€" day duties as Canadian soldiers, they managed to find time to rehearse a show that would ecual that of any group which spent all its time in one occupation. The apolause which rang through the theatrg throughout the two hour performance was sincere and enthusiâ€" astic. The audience was pleased with the show, and did not hesitate to tell the performers that they would be welcomed cn any return visit. "Ritzin‘ The Blitz" came to Timâ€" mins through the kind permission of Colonel I. C. Ellard, officer commandâ€" ing, who is known in this district as the director of the Victory Loan Cavalcade of 1941. Members of its cast are Sergeant Mel Keay (director); Ccorporal Bill Redreid (comedian); Private Rex Doyle (Master of Cereâ€" monies); Corporal Clem Hambourg, (pianist); Private Wm.

Against the blackground of the flags of the Allied Nations, the Union Jack, the flags of Canada, United States, Russia, China, was enacted a truly familiar sceneâ€"that of Canadian soldâ€" lers gathered around a piano to "sing their worries away." "Roll Out the Barrel" introduced the cast to the audience, with Private Bob Barrett tapping out a quick dance routine, and Private Rex Doyle singing some good advice, "Always Remember ed Mr. Austin Neame, Chairman of the Citizens‘ Recruiting . Committee; His Worship, Mayor Emile Brunette; Mr. Victor Evans, Reeve of Tisdale; and Lieutenant Colonel H. James, with the company from headquarters in Toronâ€" Colonel James, as the featured speakâ€" er for the evening, congratulated the North on the excellent work it has done during this warâ€"on its contriâ€" butions to the armed forces, its support to the war loans, its buying of certifiâ€" cates and stamps, which, he said, equalled that of any part of Canada. He complimented the citizen‘s auxiliarâ€" les on their support of the armed forces, but, he added, every man, woman and child must unite and coâ€"ordinate all effort in the winning the war. Colonel James said that the things Canadians are asked to gve up, such as rubber, gasoline, etc., are but small compared to the sacrifices made by the men who are fighting Canada‘s battle. The speakerâ€"exvlained that there are three forces which will play their part in bringing victoryâ€"the armed forces, war industries, and the neople in civil occupations. At the present rate of enlistment, he said, Canada will have enlisted over five hundred and fifty thousand men at the end of 1942. But, to conduct a total war, every individual must become war conscious, and older men should join the reserve to protect our homes and the homes of the Emâ€" pire. Speaking of the eventual victory, Colonel James bointed out that Canada must not stop at victory. "Our sites must be trained on the post war issues," he emphasized, "and Canadian® must begin now to prepare for those days after the war." In concluding, the speaker strossed the fact that men must work on the war front, men and women must work tcgether in the nroduction front, and men, women and chliaren must man the home front. In this way only could the war be won, and it must be won to keep Canada rrcee. Company Here on Sunday Director of National Selective Serâ€" 2Â¥ vice, Ottawa.

Mel Keay and Bob Ballie on the "Bicycle Built For Two" left young and old with the uncomfortable sensation that after all that laughter there could be none left, but other acts by Bill Redreid, Bill Mole, Bob Bailie, and several other members of tha cast soon roved that,this was not true. Their actions in such numbers as "counting the hats" easily explained why Canaâ€" dian soldiers always enjoy themselves, and why so many of them are famous Probably the "hit" of the evening was the Ziegfield Girls number, in which the lovely ladies were portrayed by the soldier members of the cast. Each "lady" was exceptional, but Bob Barâ€" rett as the hula dancer showed that Jhe Hawaiians had better watch their laurels when a good Canadian soldier :came their way.
