Is the offering of the Allen Players at the Empress theatre this week. The local stock company essayed a difficult task when they undertook to put on the dramatic FrencU triumph but the results fully Justify their undertaking. In the title role Vema Kflton is wonderful, playing the part of the seemingly gay, but in reality heart torn, fragile flower Camilla almost to perfection. As her lover, Armond Duval, Ie C. Millar has one of his best parts of tho season to date and acquits himself well, his acting 'being particularly effective in the "devil may care" scene with tho Count de Varville.

Kusco Hockwald, wrth their gal. axy of negro "endmen," and a chorus of forty voices making up the flcorgta Minstrels, present an entire entertainment themselves. Every number of their performance drew a Just reward of appreciation.

Among the popular Bonga were "Louisville 1au," "I'll Never Do That No More." "Just a Little Blue," "Baas Viol," "Who's Sorry Now?" and "Old Uang of Mine." Britt Wood, with his harmonica, quickly played himself into popular favor and the patrons were loath to allow him to depart. Laurie De Vine is a versatile beauty whose lonesome act is full ot Interesting surprises. A comedy musical act Is presented by tho two Rowellys, who have the happy facility of discovering musio In the most unexpected places.

"You're all In.

"I didn't know what the "happy dust' was when they gave it to me, and I took It. It buoyed me up; my fatigue dropped away and I was the life of the party," she said. "That was tho first stop.

She had proved that the world loved a game fighter, for when she left the stage at the end of her act when she told her experiences of four years as a dope addict, her two year uphill fight and her final emancipation, it was only to return time and time again in response to the plaudits of a crowded house.

It ijn't a pretty story Juanita Hansen tells, but it's a true story. She does not mince words; makes no effort at dramatics. It's simply the story of a girl who becomes an addict through innooeuoc, who had gone too fur before she realized what, it meant, but who finally made the supreme effort to fight her ay hack to the heights of screen stardom, and who won out against overwhelming odds.

"That's why I'm here today. I've got two messages I want to get over to the addicts of Vancouver and one Is that they can come back.
