No f I Tlusic and $ * The Drama.* The Week went to press too early to allow of a reference to "Jack Straw" and John Drew, and although it is a week since he appeared at the ' Victoria Theatre it would not be fair to omit a reference to one of the most amusing comedies, and one ol the best performances that I have ' seen for a long time. There is only a *o.ne word which defines John Drew, and that.word is inimitable. His de- bonnaire style is unique and is possessed by no other leading actor. True, like all great actors, he has mannerisms and tricks, but in this respect ne sins in good company, ile is always John Drew but the brand is so excellent mat it is easily forgiven. The part ol "Jack Straw ' iits him like a glove, and there is not a moment from first to iast when tne audience is not rippling with laughter. There are plays anl plays; people who go to the theatre to be instructed would 1101 care much for "jack Straw"; . people who are not above being amused would find it delightful; it is all unreal, but unreal just as are Anthony Hope's delightful romances. There never could have been a Princess Flavia or a Prisoner of Zenda, but such characters are none the less attractive and entertaining although it requires some imagination and fancy to realize and enjoy them. This is the peculiar flavour of Jack Straw which some well meaning critics have missed. Air. Drew was supported by a strong company; every part was well played and Miss Rose Goghlan fairly divided the honors with the Star. Why "Salvation Nell" Cannot be Played in Certain Towns. Many towns whicli have come to ■ look forward to Mrs. Fiske's annual -visit with thc Manhattan Company, .will not understand why they have been seemingly discriminated against this year. Yet the reason is a very simple one. "Salvation Nell" cannot be presented except on a stage of large dimensions. An idea of thc elaborateness of the scenery may be gotten from the fact that the materials which enter into the construction of the third act weigh ten tons, and require twenty-four hours to be assembled. The back scene covers just twenty-live hundred square feet. Such a mere detail as the clothes which hang on th^ fire escapes is an item of some consequence. In several instances bookings have been cancelled when the stage dimensions of the theatres concerned were fully ascertained. "Salvation Nell" will appear at the Victoria Theatre Friday, July 9th. The New Grand. The premier vaudeville house is giving an excellent show this week. All the turns are good, but the still- life studies with the sporting dog are by far the most attractive. Indeed I have rarely seen a prettier turn; it appeals strongly to all lovers of dogs and of sport and is greeted with rounds of applause. With my usual weakness for moving pictures I cannot refrain from commending the set running this week, which depicts a stirring and dramatic incident in which the Salvation Army, comes to the rescue, the series of pictures is well conceived and is the best advertisement the Army could have. The Romano Theatre. The above theatre, recently opened by a well known citizen, Mr. Quag- liotti, is quite a welcome addition to Victoria's attractions. It is a neat, comfortable, well arranged house arid will accommodate nearly a thousand people. It is run on the lines of the usual Bijou theatre in large cities and gives a first class moving picture show with musical interludes. It is receiving excellent support, and will no doubt justify the enterprise of its proprietor. JAMES BUCHANAN & CO. By Royal Warrants PURVEYORS TO THE ROYAL FAMILY.

Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1208 Government St, Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor. On Holidays By BOHEMIAN. Long ago, just how long I should not like to say, because latterly the savants differ on the subject, a decree went forth to the effect that thereafter man should earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. In this twentieth century the interpretation need not be too literal, and at any rate its application is largely figurative. It is true that thousands of our fellows do earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, which is only another way of saying that the majority of mankind are manual labourers, but the conditions of toil are far different now-a-days from what they were when thousands of Egyptian slaves toiled at the building of the pyramids, or when the unfortunate Israelites were forced to make bricks without straw. In those days labour was looked upon as part of the curse; in these days it has acquired dignity and nobility. To eat the wages of idleness is considered a reproach, and no man can be respected in a community, at any rate in the Western world unless he is a worker. All the arts of modern times are directed to lightening the load of the manual labourer; moral sentiment has been aroused in his behalf. Humanitarian principles have spread and have been adopted as the foundation of Legislation, and the law factories of the world are busy grinding out rules and regulations, which shall ensure improved conditions and environment for the many who still have to wield an axe or a hammer, a shovel or a pick. One of the ameliorating conditions of twentieth century labour is the holiday. Even in the last quarter of a century the world has come to mean much that it never meant before. Before Bank holiday and "Mabon" day in England, there were few public holidays, now they run to a round dozen, at any rate so far as labor is concerned. Then the Saturday half holiday is almost universal, and generally speaking the twelye-hour day of last century is an eight or nine- hour day now; so that we all get not only more full holidays but very many more half holidays, and pieces of holidays. This has been rendered possible by the increased productiveness of the race, so that men can live and live better on fifty hours' work a week than they could at one time, and that not so long ago on seventy. But while this is true it must also be admitted that in many respects work is more strenuous, which means that life is harder. With the shorter hours of labor has come a quickened stroke, and a correspondingly quicker exhaustion. This runs through all occupations, and probably it is more felt by the man of business than by thc man of the hammer and shovel. Brain work is arduous in the twentieth century; education has quickened and brightened the intelligence to such an extent that competition is keener, and there are fewer opportunities for the man who loves not work, but seeks to live by his wits. The business men of this continent are notoriously brain sweaters, who age rapidly in the endeavour to keep the ball rolling for their wives and families; they take too few holidays, and are credited with carrying the telephone and the ticker to their country resorts. But when all is said and done holiday making has become a great institution and is admittedly one of the features of the times; it is also a necessity, and the old adage that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" was never truer than it is today, and Jack knows it and is disposed to take his holiday whenever he can get it, and he is wise. He is not sure that he is going to live more than once in a world where there are holidays, and on this principle does not want to miss them. There are two reflections which occur to one in this connection: the first is that in no country in the world can a man take a holiday with greater enjoyment than in Canada; it offers the limit of opportunity to the pleasure seeker. The other is, that in no country in the world can the average man better afford to take holidays, and as I am encroaching on my Dominion Day by sweating my brain when I ought to be ruralising, I will stop and begin to practice what I preach.

[ir Hibbert Played No Favourites, large body of people, and some Imbers of Parliament, would be Id to see Sir Hibbert Tupper back ■public life, whether leading the Op- Tsition, or assisting Mn Borden in forlorn hope. Resentment is cherished in very quarters against this ex-Minister, lo, both in Parliament and in the pide administration of his depart- nt, cared little what enemies he ■de. Perhaps he strained the letter lthe regulations occasionally, but he lyed no favourites. When Minister Ji Marine he was in high disfavour J* St. John, because he insisted that I: ferry from the east to the west I'e of the harbor, less than a third I a mile of smooth water, must carry ats and life preservers. Sir Hibbert married a daughter of [•Chief Justice Macdonald, of Nova otia, another of whose daughters is wife of the Rev. Louis Jordan, l-merly pastor of St. James Square lesbyterian Church, Toronto. Soon Ier the younger Tupper became Inister of Justice. Judge Macdonald lited Ottawa and called upon his la-in-law. He found the latter busy 1 his office, but ventured to inter- J>t him, with the greeting of an lectionate relative. Sir Hibbert's re- fcnse was to ask his father-in-law iw he presumed to be absent from province without leave. It didn't think that was necessary," Id the Chief Justice. I'l do," said the Minister of Jus- and it is not recorded that there Is any less harmony in the family tie thereafter than previously. A great addition to controversial philosophy is Dr. Sera's "On the Tracks of Life." The author's object is "to find amidst the thick confusion of moral, religious, and political prejudices, false scientific conceptions and out-of-date aethetic formulae, the traces of a life higher than our actual existence." The book's sub-title, "The Immorality of Morality," furnishes a clue to the exposure of many of the namby-pamby ideals accepted by the majority. Most women would rather die than examine the truth. Their only inconsistency is that they read the Bible.—Handicapped. Vho are the "Benign and Brother- iBats?" the latest announced secret fciety. Perhaps they benignly go I bats.

ROSS, Agent ________■______■ THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 3) 1909 Why Not a Gas Range For A Wedding Gift ? No gift so well represents your good judgment. It would certainly be a daily reminder of your good taste and liberality. An up-to-date cooking apparatus would make an unusually welcome present to many Victorian brides. A Gas Range would be an ideal gift from parent to daughter upon her marriage. Wc want ladies who think a Gas Range is a pretty good thing, but that it cannot be used for all cooking purposes to consider this fact: A Gas Range will do anything that a coal range will do and most things better. It will broil or bake far better than either coal or wood. You can prepare a full coarse dinner or make a cup of tea or toast in a minute with gas. No good housekeeper would be without a gas range or stove, because heat can be regulated to a nicety, her fuel is always ready with a tap-turn and her expenses lessened. We want every woman who cooks with a coal or wood stove to try cooking with gas. They will then realize why some women like to cook and bake; it is such a real pleasure to cook with gas. No dust, no dirt, no kindling to chop, no coal to carry in or ashes to carry out and much more time for reading, recreation, making calls, etc. We like to demonstrate the safeness, the economy, the efficiency, and the cleanliness of gas for all cooking purposes. We cordially invite you to see the new Gas Ranges and Gas Stoves in our Showrooms. Prices are popular. Easy payments if you wish. VICTORIA GAS COMP'Y Limited Cor.

Why not do the thing decently and have a six- foot unclimeable iron palisade. It would cost more than wood, but would be permanent. It would not blow down in a high wind, nor require constant repairing. It is the only land of fencing for a reservoir and I hope the City Council will show sufficient enterprise to adopt it. * * ,*, The Country Club has undoubtedly achieved a success with the race meeting, in spite of all doubts and fears it has completed its fourth week with success, and possibly eclat. None of the objectionable elements which were so much dreaded have been in evidence. All Victoria has got into the habit of attending. The racing on the whole has been good, and where there have been a few doubtful performances, the stewards have been swift with their retribution, It just amounts to this that a race meeting can be purged of its worst element, and can be rendered as respectable as any other gathering of several thousand people. Xow that this has been demonstrated it is to be hoped that the Country Club will be allowed to finish the season without ill-advised interference. They have furnished innocent amusement to thousands of people, and have brought ship-loads «if people to the city who would not have otherwise come, but further they have demonstrated thc sufficiency of Canadian law and good management to render respectable a sport which had fallen into disgrace across the line through bad management, and failure to control. * * * At last the Empress grill room has been opened, and not a day too soon. Personally I am expecting great things of it, and if the service is on a par with the general administration of the best hotel in Canada, it will become a popular resort and will be a boon to the city. * * * The Gardiner Stock Company is disbanded, aijd Mr. Gardiner has disappeared, leaving a long list of undischarged liabilities, and a general feeling of dissatisfaction. Unfortunately the members of his company have not received their pay for a considerable time, and the fiasco thus presses heavily upon those who can ill-afford to bear it. Mr, Gardiner received every encouragement from the Press and the public until it was seen that he was thoroughly incompetent to manage theatrical affairs, and to gauge the requirements of the public —then he fell down. The venture has cost somebody quite a respectable sum of money, but the experience has been well bought if it has taught the losers that Victoria has no use for cheap drama. the party tendering decline to ei into contract when called upon to do or if he fail to complete the worK c tracted for.
