James Mason, the British actor
Who is starring this summer .in
the plays of the Stratford Shakes-
arean Festival, gage up an <at-
tractive screen role in order to
take part in the second season of
,tthe rather uniciue tent -theatre ex-
periment in Canada.; But Mr.
Mason could never have bought
the publicity which he has been
receiving because of his decision.
.Canadians know about all there
is to know about the actor now,
and most of us were interested to
learn that James Mason in his
early days prepared himself at
Cambridgefor a career in archi-
tecture. But he was no more int-
erested in designing apartment
buildings and. cenotaphs — or in
carrying orchis Yorkshire• father's
wool. business —' than the British
film czar, J. Arthur Rank, Was in
following , the milling trade of his
family.
The theatre is a;apeculiat, pro
fess3onl and;.;in some .respects ' it
has,,an attraction for peculiar peo-
ple�'althougb :I,do not -mean this
in a- disparaging sense. Charles
Laughton found the stage a hap-
pier, +plane : titan in, his family's.
brewery or hotel interests. Ray-
mond'Massey, brother of Canada's
governor-general, gave ' up the
implement business completely for
actrng.
No -doubt a considerable number
of fond parents were greatly dis-
appointed when their favorite sons
and daughters declined the tailor-
made careers planned for them,
But the. theatrical world is doubt-
less richer because of it. This
applies to other fields as well, and
particularly to t the writing pro-•
fession. Zane -Grey was a dentist.

• 'lhe more I think. of the choice
Of, careers the more I am intrigu-
ed. It is a wonderful country
whose people can be what they
want to be, no matter how lowly
they are of birth or how lofty
their ambitions. Canada is indeed
such a country.
During the tour which I have
been making of this remarkable
country these past few weeks, I
sat in an aircraft as it flew over
the foothills of the Rockies and
talked with Slim Bowlen. Slim
isn't very slim these days. He, is
a strapping man, sharp eyed and
heavy boned, with huge hands
that dug into the pioneer dirt of
the west, and an open-air voice
that whipped thousands of wild
horses into line in days past, and
which now, at 78, is not failing.
One does not talk - very much
when Slim Bowlen is around.
There is too much listening to
be done. He was born in Prince
Edward Island, and was a street
car conductor in Boston before
coming west, He has sat for days,
in the saddle, delivering horses
from Alberta to Winnipeg, horses

G. S. Khan Views Clinton Spring Show
THPAPPAX„ ,TiTl11E 17, 193d
Ghulam Saf Dar Khan, Pakistan, was an interested spectator at the livestock rings of the
Clinton Spring Show on May 29, Mr, Khan is spending a year in Canada, under the Colombo
plan, to study mechanization on Canadian farms. From the left, above: G. W. Montgomery,. agri-
cultural representative for Huron County, who last month was guiding Mr. Khan on a series
of visits to farms in Huron; Mr. I ban; W. R. Lobb, president of the Huron Central. Agricultural
Society, which sponsors the annual Clinton Spring Show.
i
which from there went to the
farnis of the Niagara Peninsula,
to the lumber woods of Quebec
and the apple orchards of the
Annapolis Valley. In the rough
days of early .Alberta, the ranch -
man -farmer made a tidy fortune
the hard way. He lost it, and
made it back again. For 14 years
Slim Bowlen sat in the Alberta
Legislature, an honest, hardwork-
ing representative of a people who
were making a new world by
sheer spirit and sweat. He was
the first man from the prairies to
sit on the board of governors of
the Canadian Broadcasting Corp-
oration. -
Where else but in Canada could
a 'man make such achievements?
This Slim Bowlen I was talking
to, this congenial man in the strip-
ed trousers and the swallow -tail
coat, was John J. Bowlen, the
lieutenant -governor of Alberta.
And somehow, In spite of his
charming roughness, one does not
need to be told, twice that he is
the Queen's representative in a
booming province. His Honor fits
the part perfectly,

It is circus time in Canada. The
old folks'' may feel that there
aren't as many circuses to see
these days as there were when
workers could be had for their
board; but the big towns, at least
will be seeing one or two big tent
shows across the country during
the summer,
Ringling Bros. and Barnum and
Bailey have added ten new eleph-
ants for their current tour. It
brings back old memories to some
very old folks who can remember
when the elephant show was P. T.
Barnuni's greatest attraction,
when the great Jumbo thrilled
millions ,all over America before
being killed in a train accident in
St, Thomas, Ont., in 1885. George
A. Hamid, whose grandstand shows
are well known at the Canadian
National Exhibition and « other
larger fairs, has been to Germany
to sign up some new outdoor acts,
teeter -board tumblers, clowns and
an aerialist. Show business is pep-
ping up, but just as a precaution-
ary measure the town of Melville
in Saskatchewan has passed a by-
law requiring all travelling shows
to post a bond before getting a
license. This will ensure the pub-
lic that the show will be compar-
able to that which is advertised,
and it will also discourage the few
remaining bogus colonels and
doctors who peddle tonics in fly-
by-night caravans.

Aerial view of first stage of aluminum smelter now nearing completion of Kitimat, 94, U'
AGAIN the Royal heads north to new industrial frontiers,
For over two years the Royal Bank has
provided on -the -spot service for the men
tunnelling and bulldozing, building dams
and transmission lines fox the gigantic
"Alcan" project on B.C.'s rugged coast.
At Kemano, 400 miles north of Vancou•
ver, and at work sites back of the coastal
mountains, the Royal Bank has had its
branches almost from the beginning.
Now, as the smelter and port are.
readied for operation, and the new "Alu-
minum City" of Kitimat emerges from
the wilderness,;the Royal Bank's Kitimat
branch opens for ' business. So another;
page turns in the story of Canada's north --
ward expansion, and in the pioneering
record of The Royal Bank of Canada.
Elsewhere, too, the Royal has moved
forward to new frontiers. Already
two branches are operating in
Alberta's important new Pembina
oil field. And at Port Radium, on
the fringe of the Arctic Circle, we
maintain the "farthest north"
branch bank in Canada.
