In ths popular Augustus Thomas ftiree. entitled On the Quiet. over which London laughed with delight when tlie comedian was sent thither by Mr. Frohman a year ago on flying visit of a counts of weeks by way nf experiment, and tflo experiment was so successful that tlw actor's' stay In ths British capita! wan prolonged to nearly five months. Mr.
Collier developed Into a star of Importunes within that brief Interval, after years of almost Indifferent results In hla own country under the manipulation of a succession of previous managers of more or less influence. Mr. Collier haa now attained the senlth of his ambition and undeniably occupies a niche all hin own that no other actor known to the stage can possibly fill, for the Center genius le In a class by itself.

If you happened along there about the time rehereal starts you would hear a chorus of voices that would forcibly remind you of the fact that the opera season Is nearly here again and that you are entitled to the very best that has been produced during the Bummer In tlie way of plota and musical hits. While the plot In A Trip to Happy-land" ntny be a little obscure, there Is no denying that the songs are the best and latest la musical hlta. From the jump off with "College Life, a hit with several iiarts lo It- and much swing, down to Afloat on a Five Dollar Nate, there Is not one minute but that Is overflowing with music, mirth and laughter and If the audience Is not moved to enthusiasm and cheering when General O'Which enters and expounds the intricacies of hla name Il will not be the fault of a "trying-to-plraee-tlie-publlc aggregation. If Vancouverites are not surprised at the uncommon amount of good talent that Is put Into play In this production It will not be because It la not there. Anyone who saw Cupid in Pusterland" cannot but be convinced nf the bonafldenesa of this play when Mr.
Evans says It Is superior In every way to the latter production. THE PIANO RECITAL. The piano recital given In the CKy Hall last night by Miss Claire Gordon was certainly most auspicious of tlio concert season.
