This seems to be a great bra. for

Maritimers take their sea. weed
very seriously. And well they
should, since.the dulse from At-
lantic beaches is filled with iodine
and other medicinal minerals, and
their Irish moss is a universal in-
gredient for custards and puddings..
Inlanders will' hardly believe.

Some of us can remember back
to. 1926, whenanother young girl -

English channel in something over

captured the imagination of the
World at a time when some young
ladies were still expected to oc-
cupy their idle time playing cro-
quet and making .pearl chowder,
while college flappers in jazz gart-
ers were hoping -to change it all.
Those who are first are bound
to walk in -the light of publicity,
and it is another leaf in Canada's,
laurel wreath that Marilyn will be
remembered for her '32 -mile eros -
sing of Lake Ontario, along. with
Gertrude Ederle and such people
as Charles Lindbergh, who was

if there is any laugh it certainly

A place in the 'Annapolis Valley,
of Nova Scotia, where hurricane
Edna destroyed half the apple
crop, is already compounding dulse
for the ills of Upper Canadians
(they still use the tern down
there). And a very 'interesting
observation has been made.among
the sheep of the rocky coasts, This
may support the notion (voiced by.
Rachel Carson in ` her famous
book) that the real secret to.
health, happiness and longevity
lies in the sea around us.
These sheep-ai a place called
Mud Island - are a unique lot.
They have come for generations
from the same family strain that
may originally have been placed
on the island as -.food for ship-
wrecked sailors, back in the woolly
days of sailing ships.
The interesting thing about it is
that the sheep of Mud Island' feed
mostly on sea weed.. According to
conventional husbandry, the .island
is over -populated 'by sheep. Yet
they thrive splendidly, are prolific
and are entirely free of disease..
To boot, their wool is a little bet-
ter than wool from mainland

Canada's last remaining burles-
que theatre" - the Casino - which
turned strictly to films when the
feuding Toronto Musicians' Assoc-
iation and the American Guild of
Variety Artists placed a ban" ori -all
outside entertainers coming into
the country, is back in business
again.
The Casino's return to illigiti:
mate theatre and "banned in Bos-
ton" eedyiasts (a drawing- room
name for strip -teasers) was co-
incident with the opening of the
second season of Toronto's Crest
Theatre, a play -house ,which is as
moral as the Casino is immoral.
The Crest is a unique venture in
Canada. We have precious few.
theatres' .in this country -two or-
three at the most -and it was with
considerable risk that young Mur-
ray-and
urray and Donald Davis acquired the
lease of the suburban Crest film -
house last year, for the purpose of
presenting 40 weeks of. play acting
a year.
The Davis boys"are from a fairly
well-to-do leather family of New-
market, Ont. (where the Massey -
Harris Company was founded).
They are both actors of sorts, and
their sister, Barbara Chilcott, who
starred this year at the Stratford
Shakespearean Festival, is quite a
good sort of actress. -
Estimated budget for the theatre
is $4,500 a week, which does not
leave much margin for profit, The
theatre has only 830 seats and
stages seven performances a week.
Five, thousand shares have been
offered in the enterprise at $10 a
share, and through this and ex-
ceptionally fine patronage during
its first year, there is great hope
that a Canadian Repertory comp-
any can be established and operat-
ed, in Toronto. Canada has none
at present, with the exception, per -
lips of the Grand in London.
The first play of the current
season at the Crest was the .prem-
iere of Robertson Davies' comedy,
"A Jig for a Gypsy".
While the Davis brothers are
figuring ways and means to sur-
vive, X am prompted to recall how
inany times I have heard Canadian
actors lamenting the fact that the
government does not subsidize ef-
forts to establish a Canadian
theatre.
Although none of us wants his
tax money to go toward isolated
experiments in amateur theatrics,
it is by no means absurd to sug-
gest that a nation of Canada's size
and prominence should foster its
cultural development.
The Norwegian .Theatre has
been subsidized by government for.
more than 30 years, As a result,
the classics (and what Norwegian
does not knew that Ibsen revol-
utionized the European theatre?)
are uncommonly popular in Nor-
way. Classic plays are scarce on
Broadway because it costs $60,000
to put on a one -set play, and there
is certainly no money in Canada to
gamble on a new approach to a
limited audience, not as long as
radio sob stories continue to sell
soap.
'He charged nothing for his nail
but it saved me lots of hard cash
over the years'
"When I first thought of life insurance, T Iooked
only at the size of the premiums I'd have to pay. Then
a man from The Mutual Life of Canada said: 'Premiums
aren't everything. A well-managed company pays its
policyholders good dividends. Premiums less dividends -
that's the real cost of your insurance.'
"I studied the dividend record bf The Mutual Life and
decided to take all my insurance with that Company.
It has certainly paid me. That helpful, young man
charged nothing for his advice - but it has saved
me lots of hard cash over the years."
You, too, should seek adequate protection for
your family at lowest net cost.'Consult The Mutual
Life of Canada representative in your community today.
