Arthur Collins Is the Manager of the
Great Pantomime Theatre.
Ur, Arthur Conine, the man who
makes the pantomime at the National
Theatre, the world-famous "Oid
Drury," in Leaden, is a particularly -
interesting personage. The produc-
tion of a pantomime at the most re-
nowned of Britis.h theatres is a task
of huge • proportions. It sets and
keeps going for many niontbs prior
and subsequent to the event a vaat
army of workers. Some of these are
"regulars," some few are enthusiastic
"volunteers," whilst there is a large
company of "reservists." • All drill
zealously during the prolonged train-
ing period for the ultimate trhunph
of their able general, •Arthur Collins.
Each year • sees something glorious
aetempted, each year sees soniething,
glorious done. Each season brings a
new ambition to eclipse the one gone
before; each season registers the de-
sire fulfilled. For years Drury Lane
Theatre has been pursuing a course
of pantomime excellence that every
recurring Christmas is pronounced
ity delighted audiences to be super -
How is this achieved?
Thus. The scheme of the panto-
mime having been conceived in -the
•nester managerial mind of Mr.
‘..rthur Collins, the - heads of the
tunierous departments in the great
elational Theatre are enlightened, and
doon the whole machinery is set in
eotion. It is no exaggeration to say
..hat one pantomime has scarcely run
;ts course when the first stages of the
next one are entered Upon. 'rho
"book" is not written till late in the
ereceedings, so that "topics" man
receive their lull attention therein; •
but he who writes apantoinime must
ha prepared to "miss',the bulk of.
his pen -work when the pieve.has been
running for a few weeks. This is tite
,result of alterations and interpota-
tione. • A well-known, pant omtnie
writer was once lately ..askedby the
.manager of a theatre, where one of;
his Christmas pieces was being play-
ed, what he thought of it. "Well,"
replied the scribe, "wlea,t I found of
it wasn't. bad." • .
The inu.sic, upon the • attractiveneie
of which so much of the success of
a pantomime depends, has to be com-
posed and arranged; the elaborately
heautiful dreeses designed and exe-
cuted, the company and supernumer-

SALT IN MANITOBA.,
Ommkm•meengeppigamm
James Monkman Manufactured 11.
Fifty Years Ago.
It would be news to most readeri
to be told that salt was produced iron
the 'Winnipegosis brine fifty year,
ago, writes J. B. Tyrrell in Caned/
West. James Monkman znade salt al
Swan River, Duck River and at Sall
Springs four hundred yards from thi
lake. Many years ago the Hudsoi
Bay Co. profitably manufactured salt
at Swan River, when on the Red
River the price of salt was twelvi
• shillings_ a bushel—or one hundred
weight of flour.
Monkman's works were of the mosl
primitive description. When he fund
a spring he dug a hole five feet acrom
and five feet deep, with a couple ol
rough stone walls alongside, and 1
chimney at one end. On, this con
struction he set his shallow kettles
and ladled in the brine to be evapor
at,ed by the wood fire below. Whel
winter came the kettles were turned
upside down where they were and
left there until business was resumed
in tile spring.
Professor Hind found that Monk
man knew nothing of the use of tie
pumpor of solar evaporation. Thi
Winnipegosis brines are not so stroin
as those which come from the rocl
salt of Cheshire, and at present till
cheapening of transportation to •till
prairies may have rendered them, lot
the time being, unprofitable. But I
should not be surprised any day it
learn that some enterprising mann
lecturer has appealed to the Govern
ment for the protection of a native
product, with a view to satisfyim
Manitoba's • needs from Manitoba't
supplies,
