Employees and Executives of Royal-Regent Interests
of Toronto Provide Recreation for the Wounded at the
Military Hospital at Whitby – Show Gerard‘s Film and Chaplin‘s
A Dog‘s Life and Give a Vaudeville Performance
By W. M. Gladish, 33 Wineva Avenue, Toronto, Ontario.
TORONTO. – The Regal and Regent people,
of Toronto officially known as the executives and employees
of the Regal Films, Limited, and the Regent theatre,
enjoyed a Sunday outing at Whitby, Ont., thirty miles from
Toronto, on July 28, for the purpose of entertaining
the several hundred convalescing soldiers in the Whitby
Military Hospital.
Despite the ,blue laws‘ of Ontario the film folk had a big day.
Eighty of them made the trip in fifteen automobiles,
played and sang, and then returned home feeling both good
and sore, the latter state referring to the condition
of leg and arm muscles after a strenuous baseball game.
A picture show was provided in the theatre of the
hospital, the attractions being My Four Years in Germany
and Chaplin‘s A Dog‘s Life. Seven members of the
Regent orchestra provided the music for the presentation.“
