Excellent dramatic fare was supplied the large holiday audiences that assembled at the venue Theatre oa Monday afternoon and evening to witness the presentation of "tforaewhere In France, a military drama of the day.

This marks the opening of a tour which is destined to take in the whole of Canada, and if other audiences show as much appreciation ot the play as did the Vancouverites on Monday, the tour will be a great success. Mr. K. H. Benson, the popular local theatre manager, has secured the services of some well known artistes, whose abilities are.

and have been for many a day in Vancouver, recognised as having been the mainstays oa local ttock companies. To bear this out. the names of Mr. Air. T.

Uiyns and Miss Daisy I'Avra need only be mentioned, but. added to them, is a list of highly capable exponent of the histrionic art. The play is capitally written, bright, etnertalning, witty, and as true to the real thing as possibly the censor would permit, indeed, a photograph from the front has been used on which to found one of the best scenes, and as the play is strongly staged its attraction is all the more pronounced. The god of war and the tiny god of love are in cluse Juxaposition in this up to date drama, which has its start at Winnipeg and passes thence to France and Flandurs, where Mars is characteristically in evidence with bursting shells and rattling riflea In Act II. there is a notaible scene of a trench with a triple row of entanglements, shell proof dug out and trench guns.

To say that Mr. Alf. Layne played the part of Capt. Ernest Travers well would be something like suggesting a lily was beautiful. He has lost none of his well known ability; indeed, since he was last seen on a Vancouver stage he seems to have added strength to his characterizations, and therelore his Interpretation of the role left nothing to be desired.

Miss Daisy D'Avra was equally successful in her handling of the role of Mrs. Pattie. She, too, has charmed Vancouver audiences for many years and she has lust nothing her charm, ability and versatility. tine certainly scored great triumphs on Monday and these will surely be repeated during the progress of the play. Mr.

James Smith gave a very clever rendering of the part of feergeant Raf ferly, who, as his name would imply, was associated with the Emerald isle, the home of wit and humor. He certainly made a great hit, and the same can be said of Mr. Doring Kelley, as Capt. Harvey Powell. Miss Betty Barrow made a captivating Phyllis, for whose favors two captains were contending.

There were many other characters equally well portrayed, and there was no let up in the interest of the story from start to finish. It is a thrilling play, full of vigor and excitement from start to finish, and. if the opening is to be taken as any criterion, destined to be a tremendous success. CAA'TERBOiY CAXOX DIES.

ORPHETJM The Orpbeum theatre is offering to its patron a screen production of "It Happened In Honolulu," a Red Feather triumph far and away In excess of the usual run of similar comedies. Thrilling in rich comedy situations and carrying through several acts a romantic love story, the excellent plot is enhanced by a splendid cast and very lavish settings. Such movie stars as Myrtle Goniajes and Val Pal carry out the principle roles, supported by Lulu Warrington, Norman Hammond, Fred Church and George Hernandex. With such an array of silent dramatists in the proper facilities for their talent no production could be otherwise than a thrilling success.

He goes down into the Bowery, the place which New York people tried to change the name of not so long ago, and there comes into contact with the "types" of the district.

However, he sends them on their way, happy In the hort, sweet friendship ot an evening, and ful and mobile tall, would have meant his Instant death.

By clinging to one of the sharks' fins, Mr. Williamson was saved from this fate and quickly gave the monster its death blow with the long bladed knife he took between his teeth as he plunged Into the water.

Clever principals, rippling comedy, dainty dancing, coupled with stunning costumes aad suitable scenery make the success of this production, the singing of the chorus being unusually good, and adding much to the value of the act And the chorus is in fit keeping with the standard set by the principals. "Music hath charms" they say, and music interspersed with real hilarious comedy, such as is offered by Johnson's Creole Band, an octet of dusky purveyors of wild and weird harmonics, certainly does charm, for it warms the hearers up and gives them the inclination to join in the rythm of the melodies.

Listening to these performers one is well able to imagine how the dwellers in the south are infected by the strains of the rollicking themes which their self taught musicians furnish.
