Unlike so many road shows of sew

the reputation of good play and
then chop the authors perfectly good
show into something that is not even
nearly good, the company of players
that presented "The Lion and the

not need to make any apologies to

scented 1t as such with a great deal
of individuality in the separate roles.

OF the arabic lands of the province are

At present the Alberta farmer Is at
something OF disadvantage In mar

market sets the price Of the worlds

is worth the Liverpool price less the
cost of getting the grain to that mar
