TORONTO, Ontario, December 15.— A movement has been started to solve Canada’s oldest problem. Racial di- vision has been emphasized by a cleav- #ge in language ever since the Quebec ®ct held the French loyal to the British crown in the days of the American Revolution at the price of making Can- #da a land of bilingualism.

For 12 performances of “Titus Andronicus” his profit was $2.75, for one performance of “Hamlet”, $2, and for a performlnee of “The Taming of ths Shrew,” $2.25. Mr. Henslowe was lucky if he took in $9 a day, for his theater held only a few score people.

The two offer a pleasing contrast. Harry Evanson is a comedian known of old, and he has not lost his cunning.
