 Maurice Grau whose Grand Oprea com- pany sang here November last to record breaking grand opera audiences, said: Ut Is wonderful structure, complete in all its appointments and has no equal in America while Dwight l.. Moody the evangelist, who month later faced in this hall some of the largest crowds that he had ever addressed, said from the plat form: II came one thousand miles to find the best hall have ever spoken in"

James Young as Lord Byron

Tommorw afternoon and night James Young will be seen at O'Brien's opera house for the first time in the new play, Lord Byron"
 What kind of music ought to be played at a theatrical performance is question that has occupied critics and managers ever since theaters were theaters. Without go- ing so far as to adopt Lessings view, that the orchestra in the theater represents to a certain extent the chorus of the ancient drama lists, most of us have a feeling that it ought to have some relation to the piece performed. The music, which will be found a pleasing incident of the forthcoming pro- duction of Lord Byron,' new play to be given here by MT. James Young and his company of players, has been most care fully composed to suit the spirit of the verses of Byron and Moore that Miss John son, the authoress, has introduced.

that the royalty receipts do not always

THE authorities at Atlin are doing all
they can to redeem the district from the

miner in Atlin now has the same rights
