Describing the affair. Major N'assau writes to a relative in this city: "It was a vaudeville' show given by none of the regular Canadian army troops , who travel from place- to place giving ""-performances. They carry their own I, seenetV and properties, which enables them to show In a tent, a barn or any old place-they may land. "The curtain, vent up before an audi ence that could not be duplicated any place on earth but in France. The bald headed rows were not occupied by ladles and gentlemen in evening dress, but the place was filled with stretchers, each occupant being a soldier who could not walk. Thdr costumes were 'not made of silk and broadcloth, but were hos pital pajamas, their only Jewels the dull Bllnt of a crolx de guerre, and for flow ers only the snow-white 'bandages In which they were swathed. , , "There were French, British, Cana dians, Americans, Arabs, Senegalese and Moors, and their language ranged from cackling English to the dialects of northern Africa. "Behind the stretchers were the wheeled chairs, and behind these the wounded who could walk. We officers stood up outside the doorr, as did an American brigadier general. The applause was different from any I ever heard. Some had two hands with which to clap, many did not ; some feet to htamp, more without ; and some poor devils could only grin. After the oerformanco the stretcher cases had r to be carried back to bed, each occu pant with a grin on his face and primed with a vivid description of the evening with which to regale his less fortunate ' comrades in the ward."
