No happier thought or theme for a comedy ever entered the head of an author than is contained In "Brewster's Millions." Monty Brewster is left million dollars on condition that he get rid of one million dollars Just lert him by his grandfather. Other conditions are that he spend this money within the exact space of one year, that he take no one Into hls confidence and that he can legitimately show that the money wa really spent. accepts the conditions and Marts out to get rid of the million within the year, lie finds it hard work and resorts to many ways in which to make the muney fly. Among others he produces a comic opera for an aspiring young actress, he leaves his money on deposit in a bank on nhlch there Is a run.

he charters a palatial yacht for a cruise of the world, taking a big party with him. He arranges to celebrate a saint's day in a Spanish town by treating the en lire population to a three days' carnl al and feast. He endeavors to lose at the bank of Monte Carlo. How he finally gets the money is told In the 'The Awakening of Helena Ritchie" 1 A Pennsylvania Idyl, the best of all I the plays that have presented Pennsylvania life and people on the stage, "The Awakening of Helena Richie," will be seen at the English Bay theatre on Monday, Oct. 7th, presented by Kofielle Knott, supported by Henry Hall, late star in "The Man From Home," and a fine company, with a production that reveals the Ideas of enery and architecture described In Peland's story.

Helena, herself, the heroine of the play. Is the most enchanting creature that has last act, after a most surprising climax. All this Rives rise, to the funniest situations, while at the same time a charming love story develops. The first uct takes place at 'Monty's home Just after he has Inherited his grandfather's million. The second art take? place at his private office in New York city.

The third art will present a marvelous scene, showing a yacht In mid ocean and. when the storm comes up. the effect Is magnificent. The last act harks back to h.s New York home. When given at this theatre nearly three years ago hundreds were turned away at every performance.

Chaun cey Southern will play Monty Brewster, and in this role he has established himself as a comedian of the highest class. Isabelle Fletcher, Chas. Ay res, Harold Nelson, Louis Von Welt hofr, T. B. Loftus, Allyn Lewis, Pan lumbar, Meta Marsky, Tilly Arm strong, Emily Curr and the entire company will he seen.

V. T. Henderson will rejoin the company after an Illness of four week. and will doubtless receive a warm welcome. Should anything arise to change the plans of the management and "Brcc.

iter's Millions" not be presented, an other equally splendid dramatic offe itig will he given, selected from the following list: "Salvation Nell," "The Third Degree" or "The Bonnie Briar Bush." come out of Pennsylvania. The play, as also the book, is filtered througn with very delightful scenes of comedy and touches of pathos that reach to the heart.
