“The Key to Jack Canuck’s Treasure Will Be Found at the City Hall To-Night—For the Boys Over There. ‘The Key to Jack Canuck’s Treasure House’ will be presented at the City Hall this evening by a company of sixty including the cute and clever kiddies who take a prominent part in the production. The entertainment is largely musical with catchy choruses and solos, and is well worthy of patronage besides being for patriotic purposes and under the auspices of the Victory War Club.
Remember it’s for the soldiers and pack the City Hall.”
