There is an unwritten law in the theatrical profession. Regardless of what
happens—“the show must go on!” In thousands of theatres throughout
Ontario this same traditional rule still applies, but in a different way.
Today, 1 ‘the show must go on”—with Hydro.
The “Talkies” and Hydro, bring to the cities and the small towns alike, the
best the theatre offers in drama, music, comedy, while travelogues and
news-reels bring a new form of education.
Hydro also makes it possible to enjoy your theatre night right through the
hottest season, with the aid of air conditioning and cooling systems, which
the majority of theatres now provide.
This same Hydro service that is essential for the “Talkies” is also necessary
for night baseball, tennis, lawn bowling and other forms of night entertain
ment and sport, which electricity now makes it possible to enjoy to a much
greater degree.
Thus in the realm of entertainment and sport—-as in so many other phases
of activity—Hydro—your Hydro—makes an essential contribution to a
better, happier, healthier livelihood for the people of the Province of Ontario
with its low-cost power.
1 The success of Hydro in being able to lower power costs in the past two years
in the face of a general increase in the price of practically everything we use,
is a noteworthy achievement. Its continuous efforts to lower these power
costs still further, and extend the benefits which accrue throughout the
Province of Ontario, is a matter in which you should be vitally interested.
