MONEY'S WORTH

WELCOME NEW DEPARTURE
~ WILL BE “AMATEUR NIGHT”

Prince Rupert Now to Have Its Own Local Company
of Vaudeville Entertainers Performing Regular-
ly—First Night at Opera House Friday

iive entertainer in the foot-
lights’ glow, and as every one of
the entertainers taking part in
tais new feature will be person-
ally known to Prinee Rupert au-
divneces the fun is certain to be
iively and the encouragement
from pil and baicony should be

in itself a feature of the show.
This is going to be a first qual-
ity attraction worth the money

and more

The first performance will be
on the coming Friday, that is
April 26th, and it is the inten-
tion of the Amateurs to put ona
fresh lively show regularly once
a week, excepting only when the
Westholme Theatre is oceupied
by a professional company.
When that is the case the Ama-
teurs will be busier than ever,
preparing some more elaborate
and stupendous stunt with which
to paralyse with delight their
patrons in the Westholme.

That Prince Rupert will jump
in und give its enterprising am-
ateur yaudeville company the
heartiest of encouragement is
certain, Thera are all kinds of
| wishes for their good luck
and success ready right now for
realization in the applause of
bumper houses, and Friday's
performance eagerly looked
forward to.
