town as a theater magnate recalls the
time when Curtis and a few others
took a cruise on Lake Ontario in a
sloop yacht, leaving Toronto with
Rochester, n. Y, as the objective

Curtis was the cook for the COM

Marion Harland or Mrs. Rorer to lose
nights of sleep for fear of mislaying
their wellearned laurels.
AS a sailor he was even worse. He
