MEXICO CITY. Nov. 27.-The Ca
madam government is stretching out
the hand of friendship to the Mex
icap government, as ii did during
the last ten years of the Diaz
regime. when Canada maintained
here wide-awake commercial
agent. who kept his government in
formed on every Mexican move of
Importance and who succeeded in
bringing into Mexico a great
amount of Canadian capital, much
Of which is still invested here, as
for instance. in the Bank of Mon
treal. the Canadian Bank of Com
merce, the District Railways of
Mexico and the NeCaXa Light and
Power Company.
The Canadian government has
been in COMMUNICATION with the Mex
lean government for some time past,
with the result that commission

TO be revived. with the support OF
the Canadian government behind it,

be along the lines Of the branch

MANY TUNEFUL SONGS
 IN OPERA THE MIKADO'

IhooughIY adequate with a wonder chorus, q complete cast of real Amer .can vocalists. headed by Ed Andrews Who is known from coast to coast with an augmented orchestra and full scenic, lighting and costume equip mant, Ralph Dunhar's new revival of The Mikado" is coming to the Grand theatre Tuesday, February 1. All the tuneful hits of the Gilbert and Sulli- van masterpiece will be sung You remember them: "The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring" Three Little Maids We Are" and many others of a like nature that make you think of the cherry blossoms of Japan.
 'The Mikado" is a real joy to lovers of music. Every moment the curtain Is up brings genuine pleasure for there is not dull spot in the gilbert and Sullivan opera.
 That Mir. Dunbar IS able to bring such monster production and ster- ling cast to the smaller cities has been recently commented upon edito- rially by such prominent newspapers as the Cairo Herald, the Rockford Re publican and the good old Burlington Hawkeye. The substance of these utterances is that when an American poducer with enterprise, discernment judgment and conscientious attention to detail furnishes the money and bains to bring to the smaller cities a production like "The Mikado" not just as good as was ever given, but actu- ally superior to the best heretofore heard, it should be matter of civic pride that appreciation be shown by | capacity patronage.
