Each play will deal with an aspect of Canadian history, and in his researches, the writer has found that Canadian history is: almost flamboyant with roâ€" mance. Although he was educat- ed an architectâ€"he studied at the University of Toronto, the Uni- versityr of Pennsylvania and in Parisâ€"and began his theatrical work as a designer, Denisou soon discovered that writing plays was his forte and deserted architecture.

Years have passed since the sounds guns Rent the world with their ghastly tune, And the children of yesterday grew up The old world forgot so soonâ€" Forgot the youth of those years ago Who sailed away with a smile, Giving their all that the World might liveâ€"L They felt it was worth their while. The crowds that stayed, cheered as ‘achey went, As they marched with martial tread, Not knowing how soon in that chaos, They, too, would be lying dead. Now, when all the guns are silent, And the world is at peace to-day, Thousands and thousands are sleeping In those graves so far away. What of those men who are livingâ€"â€" Those that came back to their kin, Starting afresh to pick up the threads Not knowing where to begin? They went as boys, came back as men, To a sphere so strange and new” But the people who cheered forgot the deeds, Forgot their promises, too! Many of those who fought so well ‘ Are still fighting day by dayâ€"â€" Fighting the fiend called hunger, Keeping that foe at bayâ€" Walking the streets of the cities They fought so hard to save, While others reap the victory fruits Their wonderful courage gave. Soon will their struggle be over, They will pass from the sight of men, Will the land they saved rememberâ€" Think of their glory then? Oh God, in your Heaven, have mercy, Give heed to their prayers and tears Soften the hearts of those in power, And lighten their burdens and fears. â€"F. C.
