Class Concert

“The Rivals” at the Prince Edward Theatre Last
Night Rivalled Anything Hitherto Seen a“

Comedy and Music.

The concert patty of the H.M.S,
Raleigh and the Navy League, un-
der whose auspices last night's
splendid entertainment at the
Prince Edward Theatre was held ‘'s
to be heartily congratulated. The
entertainers. were assisted by the
Royal Marine band cf the — visiting
cruiser. the concert being present.
ed by the kind permission of Ad-
miral Sir William Pakenham and
Captain’ Bromley. The theatre
was gaily bedecked with navel
flags and the stage settings of the
three scenes of the musical comedy!
were remarkably good, The come
dy was clean and bright and the
music very much enjoyed by the
large audience. 7

The. comedy which was entitled
“The Rivals" is the composition
of Petty Officer Dear of H. M. 8,
Raleigh who produced it first in
1920 on board’ H.M.S. Yarmouth
and it received a rousing welcome
all along the coast of South Ameri-
ca, where the ship at that time
was cruising, It was produced
only once ‘by the crew of the “Ra-
leigh” and this was at Bermuda
last. May in aid of dépendents of
the lost submarine H-42, when it
received an enthusiast*e reception.

The story of the comedy deals
with two Jews, Abe and Cohen
(Lig. St. Lefever arel Sto. Jones)
who together with Mr, Sanmels
(Ldg. Sto. Page) form the trio of
“Rivals"—not, indeed ‘rivals for tho
affection of any fair lady, as in
Sheridan's famous comedy, but for
hadr cash and the good things tha.
go with the possession of the same.

The first scene, before the lodg-
ing house of ‘Samuels, introduces
many edd chanfaéters, all contribu
ting their suota of fun. Samuels
has set himself up in the hotel bu-
siness. through getting the better
of Abe and (Cohen at a bargain and
by and by thege-two worthies ap,
pear, “down and out,” and the
gcod Samuels gives them jobs as
waiters at his “hotel.” Gratitude
stirs not the hearts of the Jews,
however, who rethember only that
they have been “done,” and pict
to get che better of their employ-
er. They eventually steal the
old man's safe, and make a clean
get-away to the race track where
they do good business for a while
as “hookies” but, fearing a turn cf
bad luck, make off with their own

Manitoba Swept
_ By Great Storm

WINNIPEG, Man., June 24-—
Manitoba tonight is recovering
from the effects of the most de-
structive wind storm of years
which, between three and_ four
o'clock this morning, swept down
from Pastern Saskatchewan by
way of Brandon, Portage La
Prairie, Winnipeg and Lydia, to
the: Ontario boundary leaving a
toll of three dead, and many in-
jured, some of them very serious.
ly, and a property ‘loss. which will
run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars.

(At ‘Brandon the storm , ‘was
comparatively mild and caused no
serious losses. Portage was hit by
the full force of the blast, which
is said to have been of the hurri-
cane variety rather than a cyclone
or a tornado, and public buildings
and -regidences suffered severely.
The Methodist, Anglican and Pres-
byterian churches were unroofed
and badly damaged. The ‘city’s
hotels and garages fared badly,
and in the collapse of a residence
fourteen: yearlold Charlés Spence
was killed.

‘The breaking of high tension
wires started a fire-which destroy-
ed three grain elevators, those of
the Metcalfe, Forsythe and Pre-
mium companies. No estimate of
the loss is available.

Rain of Trop'cal Vi°lence.

Accompanied by ‘a’ rain fall of
tropical violence, the storm struck
Winnipeg and blew with an ex-
treme velocity of eighty-four miles
an hour, to an alarming accompant
ment of electrical disturbance.
Terrific gusts of wing shook the
city to its foundations. Roofs were
fdarnied away from many sitruc-
tures, big and little alike; an ice
warehouse topiped in @ heap; hun-
dreds of fine trees were up-Tooted
or deprived of branches, which fell
to the roadway; windows were
driven. in like paper; telegraph
and telephone wires were broken
down to add an element of danger
which, later in the morning cost
the life of Garfield — Price aged
eight, who grasped a live wire and
was instantly killed. In half an
hour the storm passed on.

Severe Damage Done.

The farthest east damage of
great severity was done at Lydia,
where the home of Mrs. Pauline

Kormirio was dismantled, and
Kormirie, aged nine months, was
killed, and Mrs. Kormirie and the
older child were hrought to Wan-

As the result of a bad fire which
started about six o'clock Jast
evening in the plant of the P. EB
1. Fox Biscuit Company on Dor.|
chester Street, near Pownal 3St.,
considerable damage was caused to
machinery and stock and the in-
terior of the building, which is of
brick, the property of Miss Mary
‘Murray, was severely gutted.
The fire, which evidently start-
ed in the drying yoom upstairs,}
was not noticed until it had. made
considerable headway inside the
building. (Mr. ‘Malcolm McLeod
who was working on
(Miss Murray’s house nevt door,
smelt something burning but sup-
posed it to be the biscuits drying.
A few minutes later he was con-
vinced it was something more
serious and attempted to get across
to the burning portion with
water bucket. Miss. Murray sent
in the fire alarm from her house
and. upon the prompt arrival of
the firemen streams of nose were
applied, and after a hard three-
quarters of an hour's fight the
flames, which bid fair at one time
to destroy completely the building
were at last subdued.

shgt and instantly killed about one
o'clock Sunday morning at Port
Elgin, in misteke for an escaped
convict, nameq William McLean,
from the Dorchester penitentiary.
The shooting was| qone by Guard

that a man resqnbling the esoeped

The new Hospital,: as planned

will ‘be incorporated in the née

It is hoped that at an early
