Red.: Tremayne & Hall

[Andre G. Bourassa]

Bonjour,
Thank you all; you've benn of great help about William Andrew  
Tremayne. The article of Murray Edwards is very clear. You clould add  
that Tremayne's play, The Morning After, was produced by Cazeneuve at  
the Auditorium of Québec City, 24th April 1905.

I wanted to give precise informations bout the links between these  
two. For example, Cazeneuve transformed a cinema belonging to St.  
Denis Amusement, The Empire, into a theatre, The New Empire, on  
Stanley St., where Tremaynes's Trinity Players have performed. This  
place is now the chic Chez Parée club.

I tried to find where was the Trinity Hall. I  suppose it was in the  
half-basement of old Trinity Church, on St. Denis Street, north west  
of Wiger.  Am I right?  See Montreal's Lovell Repertory 1911 at  
"Trinity Church"(by name) and "54 St. Denis" (by street).

This Church was sold to an oriental catholic parish when Triniity  
moved on St. Catherine. So that the players had to find another hall.  
The church is abandoned andl for sale since a few years, but is now on  
the expropriation list of the Centre Hospitalier de Montréal. I'm  
afraid that nice little gothic church will be demolished, and the Hall  
with it.So our theatre will be loosing memories again. Should we just  
say: "Too bad!" ?

Sincèrement, André G. Bourassa.
