DRAMA LEAGUE NOTES
Apropos of tho work being done by
the Drama league, Porbes-llobertsou
said recently i ''I regard tho Drama
league as u groat, institution, an in
stitution destined to become one of
the greatest factors in the drama
world of today. J he league has al
ready done a wonderful work; it will
do much nioro in tho future, and I
consider its work n groat power in
tho theatrical world, both for the the
aters and the nublie."
...
Wo aro iirfWmed by tho national
office of tho Drama league that the
Canadian government has officially
given the Drama. League center of
Oltnwn, Can., a beautiful now home
in the Victoria national museum. The
press in writing ofn houso-wnniiing
which was given n Mmrl limn ago by
the members of the-center, snys: "It
wius peculiarly rtw'uifionnt miioo it
was tho l'in-t time in Canada that the
government litis done anything for the
national theater movement by furn
ishing tho Drama league with n new
homo in the Victoria national mus
eum." A pllo remedy tnnt Is entirely dif
ferent from anything clso, used both
externally and internally, acting on
tho blood ns well ns tho dlscaso, a
remedy without a superior. It is
