Mad"l (Continued from page 1) shc was excellent. Every tawn has its wholcsame, lavable, Milly Lau. Tuttle. and Bridget Compieting the Wood's menage were Tuttie (Bill Edger), the pseudo butler, but in reality, Uic overalled handy-man who was nat for a moment overawed by Sheik Van Vleck. This part was played ta a manner reminiscent ai the best ta icgit. Bill was O.K., but ta Uic "domestic" reaini, Uic gai who taok Uic cake was Effie (Ruthi Hutchinsan), irrepressible, natural, anid aitagether inimitable. She took full advantage aiflier camnedy part, and dressed i toto, witli a perpetually unhitclied pet- ticoat and wrang saying at Uic iglit time. Shirley and. Raîpli Wcntwonth, (Ruthi Stevens and Howard Stur- rock), as supers, interpreted their parts witli Uic right taucli, aiten s0 difficuit ta minar parts. Of thc Hars family, safi Cluck <Enic Mcllveen) was teUic"t" aif Uic maie juveniles and played ta Perfection Ui', inventive.,gen jus wha scorned dresa ciothes 'and spent al l is time tinkcring with his liome-made glider. His father, an iracible widowen, was deter- mined lis son shouid become a lawyer. This led ta loud voiced quarrels. Scott Densem carricd this part very realîstically. The daugliten Julie (Dally Purdy), veny effcctiveiy, and demureiy, partrayed Uic teen-age vamp, garnering other girls' beaus. Poetry Complex This campletes a cast whidli many believe ta be Uic beat ta, take part in Commencement for many moans. The play gives am- ple scope for many seri8-comic interludes. Penny and Cliuck, as boy and girl dhunis, realize ail taa little tlke affection that binds tliem. Tlicy spat and argue. Pen- ny gets thc paetry compiex and tien gocsalal a-iluttcr when wouid-be libertine Van Vleck ap- pears. She practises higî-finance and blackmail ta get a new red baîl gawn, cut "1C" in front and "V" bchind, ta make a ht witli Van at thc party. Perfect Hostesa Julie vamps Van and Milly Lau doca lier bcst ta buffer every contretemps. Effie breaks in ta nelieve scenes fnom becoming toa climactic. Thc "Dac" remains gen-1 craily neutral, while Mrs. Wood,1 neyer obtrusive, neye r t h el e s s manages everyone. and especially, Penny, ta perfection. The perfect liostcss. witli the iamnily budget not tic least aiflier warnies, *she iinally faresees thc outcame ai Penny's perpiexities, and uses the rcd dress episade ta bring lier daugliter ta a realizatian ai truc proportions. Their dramatic suni- matian ends in '"a moat wonderfui evening." The Climax Chuck contributes his part ta Uic sequel. He fially gets lis glider it thUi air, stays up 4 % hours, crosses and recrasses the lake and finally cracks up in thc dark i an appie trec. Alarmed, thcy searcli and bring liii, bruis- cd and patdlied, it thUi living raom where Penny, tearfuily, ia biaming lierseif for lis death. There Uiey leave tliem. Penny remembers that lier father toid lier lic feu tinlove witli her ma- ther wlien she slapped him. Ar- gument starts. Penny slaps Chuck and slowly, wonderingiy, wide- eyed at last, he discovers lis Lave . . . and does his stuif like a man. Everything i ovely ever afterward. Prelude The cvenng's programnrecm- menced with orchestral sciectians (Debussy) by pupils uiýder direc- tion ai Mr. W. E. C..- Workman, L.L.C.M. O Canada preceded ta- troductory remarks by Principal Dippeli. He announced extension af the playing f ield thraugli pur- chase ai land ironi Dr. Fergu- son; announced, regretiuily, the death ai Murray Butler, firat fromn B.H.S. ta pay Uic supreme sacri- fice in this war, and urgcd ail ta work liard during the comig year and do their fuliest ta strive forward in serving Canada and civilization in this criais. 'Tween Acts The adhool-gini chorus ai 25 sang, most cxcellcntly, Lift Thine Eyes. The play commenced sharp on time, and that's wliat every audience appreciates. At the close ai act one, slim Donalda Creasser sang the Victary Sang, lately camposcd by Lena Taylor, R.N, witli arrangement b3ý Reta Cale Dudley, A.T.C.M. <Uic iatter's birthday Saturday toa).

Thanks Due Teachers Last but not ieast ai these as- tanishing interludes was Uic bill- tag, "Kate and Duplikate," a wood-nympli pantomime penfarni- ed gracefully by Barbara Bei- der and Helen Roacli. .Bhythm ai Uiis superb "mime and dance" could have been attaincd only with moat painstaking rdlicarsal by these pupils under Uic direc- tion ai Miss B.
