HERBERT LLOYD'S VAUDEVILLE GUIDE 215 GENERAL INFORMATION OF WINNIPEG. Before arriving in Winnipeg, and on "the train, have some member of the company, meaning all the acts going to the one theatre, collect ALL the keys and have that one person make it a point to find the theatre baggageman, who stands near the outside door of the station, and give him all the keys and he has all your baggage examined quickly and with- out trouble and it allows you to go at once to your hotel or theatre with- out any waiting and your baggage will follow you there in a very short time. Positively no liquor allowed in the country; not even a broken bottle so don't attempt it. If you carry a moving picture film or have a quantity of printed matter, such as lithos, letter heads, etc., BE SURE AND ADVISE THE BAGGAGEMAN when you give up your keys as he no doubt will have it passed free of duty in most cases, but it is considered a serious offense if you ignore this suggestion. During the war the Tourist cars were taken off but expected they will be put back. If you find the cost of merchandise in general a little higher in Canada than in the "states" you must not blame the merchant as you must realize that you are in a foreign country and they have to pay a heavy duty. Winnipeg newspapers are the "Free Press (both A. M. and P. M.i, and the two other evening papers the "Tribune" and "Telegram." Newspapers cost 5c each, singly, or you can obtain three different papers for 10c. Arrange early in the week for your sleeper for your next journey. No public golf links but ask your stage manager for a letter to Mr. Rowand of the Hingston-Smiths Arms Co., who may possibly arrange for you. Between Winnipeg and Calgary (Orpheum Circuit) and Winnipeg and Edmonton (Pantages' Circuit) you will change your watch to one hour EARLIER as you are going into "Mountain Time." If the train has a "regular" dining car steward he will clear the dining car of the tables and you can have an impromptu cabaret in the dining car after the supper meal on Sunday night. (Note please that we specified a "REGULAR" Steward.) The baggagemen of all theatres, Orpheum, Pantages and Strand, meet the train and you will find them just at the outside door of the station and to whom you will deliver the keys of your trunk and they will have your baggage examined quickly (sooner and easier than you. could do it yourself), and your baggage and keys will be delivered to you within a very few minutes at your respectice theatres.
