This Meyers card shows Vaughan Street with the "Y" when it was new. Most interesting is the sign at lower right, which details a number of shows playing at the Empress Theatre for the week of June 2, including the Sullivan and Considine Road Show. Sullivan and Considine were vaudeville impresarios who, like Alexander Pantages, had a national circuit of touring shows. Although they had preceded Pantages, he was to put them out of business a year or two after this photo (around 1913) books.google.ca/books?id=XFnfnKg6BcAC&pg=PA264&lp...

The shows being promoted include the Girl [something] Vase, and various performances featuring Beth Stone, Harry Antrim, Matt Keefe and "Spooks". 10 cents appears to be the admission. On the back of the card is the following message: "Some class to our Building Eh? The Street runs North South. These are the West + South Side of the Building. My Room faces East. I'm on 5th Floor. George."

Here is Harry Antrim, who was later in Miracle on 34th Street, Elmer Gantry and even the Andy Griffith Show (which all seem almost impossibly distant from this pre-World War I scene). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Antrim

--- FURTHER INFORMATION ---

I have found the ad for this in the Manitoba Free Press, May 31, 1913. Sullivan & Considine are to present five shows, the featured one being "The Girl in the Vase", presented by Cecil de Mille and starring George M. George and 10 other Broadway favorites. ("A Mid-Season Spectacular Triumph")

Then there is also Bayone Whipple, Walter Houston and Splendid Supporting Company in the enigmatic comedy "Spooks" ("a playlet of mystery, cram full of merriment").

With lesser billing is Beth Stone, Al Hines and John Fenton in "Story Dances"; Harry Antrim, "The Odd Fellow", in original witticisms, and Matt Keefe, the perfect yodler and sweet melody singer.

Similarly to the bottom line on the sign, the ad concludes by stating that there are 500 good seats at every matinee ... 10 cents.

On June 3, there is a review, panning the apparently tedious 'The Girl in the Vase' while praising 'Spooks' ("which has the advantage of being really funny"). Harry Antrim's imitations of a cello and a phonograph were "clever" while Matt Keefe is "one of those vaudeville artists who always go well with Winnipeg audiences". The dancing by Beth Stone, assisted by Al Hines and John Fenton, came in for especially high praise: "The act as a whole is a class above anything of the kind seen in theatre for a long time." "Miss Stone is a dainty and graceful dancer and she was perhaps at her best in a barefoot dance."
