All kinds of opportunities await| celebration within the city itself.
There will be plenty of entertain-

Following is an oulline of the
j fle lds of enjoyment open to holi-
day makers all tomorrow:
First, there is the railway ex-
cursion to Terrace, where there
will be football for the Overseas
Club cup, picnics, entertainments
and an evening dance in the hotel,
besides the general exhilaration
of the outing.
There will be also the Baptist
| Brotherhood picnie by launch
service run at three convenient
hours during the day to Metla-
|} katla, where on Bishop’s Beach
party will have all kinds of
| fun and good fare.

To Auriol Point the Presby-
tyrian Ramble Club are running
another launch trip in conveni-
}ent relays, and at Auriol Point is
ideal baseball ground. The
| Presbyterian Club’s trip promises
| well and will be popular.

Those who desire a_ less
massed form of amusement
| discover untold pleasure in trips
}across the harbor, around Digby
Island by launch,
Passage and so to the beautiful
| lake; into the Salt Lakes, where
boys guarantee first rate

* on foot up the mountain be-

“FACING THE
MUSIC” IS FUN

First Comedy to Be ee ete by the
May Roberts Company at the
Empress Theatre Tomorrow ts
a Real Laughter Mill.

The comedy chosen by Victor
Gillard as a. vehicle to reintro-
duge Miss Roberts and her new
company goes by the name of
“Facing ise Music.” It was
recognized by the management on
the company’s last visit to Prince
Rupert, and the cities further
north, that if there was one trail
peculiar to the men and women
of the north it was their love of
a good laugh.

Bearing this facet well in mind,
Manager Gillard has brought a
company who can handle com-
edies to perfection,

“A laugh from stari to finish,’ | ¢

“One long laugh,” are hackneyed

jexpressions and often used by a

press agent to further the inter-
ests of his particular company,
Yet when “Facing the Musie,”
with its facile plot, will be pre-
sented on Friday, if a motog-
rapher could from the stage take
a moving picture of the audience
the result when thrown on the
screen would be a dense throng
of laughing people in continuity,
