Veterinary Office GRITIGAL ANALYSIGS OF GRAVEYARD SHIF DRAMA ‘The Bartendsr Who Put the Dram in Drama Expostulates on the Reâ€" sult. Was Dangerous Dan Shot? Or, 50â€"507 At great expense, The Advance has secured the services of a writer of marked debility to elucidate the fine points in the Shakesperian revival of ‘‘The Shooting of Dangerous Dan McGrew,‘ as presented last Friday night by the Graveyard Shift Revue, 1927. The ecritic is non other than ‘‘Lap‘‘ Laprairie, world famous for whiskerinos, but thére were no whiskers on the Shooting of the alâ€" most equally famous Dan. _ ‘‘Lap" more than any other man, found the spirit of the play. He had to; he was the bartender. _ Here is his criticism of the event,â€"exhilarating as chamâ€" pagne from France, inspiring as good Seotch whisky, yet with the solid susâ€" taining quality of British beer. ‘‘Lap‘‘ writes :â€" ‘*The Shooting of Dangerous Dan MceGrew‘‘ showed undisputed eviâ€" dence that great expense and much time had been spent in development of detail. This fact stood out when ye critic reglized that the liquid supâ€" plies displayed and dispensed at the bar could not all have been dummies from some of the faces that were made when the teetotalers in the act absorbed their swig. This was particâ€" ularly noticeable when Ham Seplett threw in what he thought was a ‘‘make believe‘‘ and the response to the surprise was that the liquid squirted out of his eyes, ears and nose. Nathan Dostrosser, in the role of Philip McCann,‘‘ gave a very clever interpretation : of the Saloon Dance, assisted by Lorace Haidlaw, who played ‘‘"Muclug Aggie."‘ Bill Nicholson who was to play ‘‘The Souse,"*‘ had evidently been overecome with emotion, or something, during the rehearsals, and had to leave his underâ€" study, Doc. Brennan, to take the part. Doc. made up to resemble Bill so much that the audience did not realize till the drop of the curtain that it was not Bill in person that was impersonating the part. Bob Dye and Lap. in the roles of saloonkeeper and bartender did their stuff so well that they have already been offered contracts. by several ‘‘speakâ€"easies‘‘ in some of the large cities of the republic to the south We learn, however, that they are holdâ€" ing out for better offers from the local trade. Norval Banks, as the ‘*Girl Lou,"‘ made upâ€"as and played the leading lady part so well that even some of the players on the stage started to ponder as to whether they should run away to the Great Alone with the charming Lou, or remain in Timmins and continue their attempts to support their family and members of the Stanâ€" dard Stock Exchange. Jack Wialker, as the tall stranger, that is supposed to be a manâ€"killer gad an ivoryâ€"tickler, gave his interâ€" pretation cleverly. _ While Jack is Karl Ayre in the characterization of *‘Dan MeGrew!!* exemplified his part so well that the minds of the audience turned back to the late Sir Henry Irving. Harry Jackson gave a clever deâ€" monstration of quick change, as he was billed as playing ‘‘Dirty Gertie,‘‘ but immediately on the shooting of Dan McGrew, he appeared as ‘*Sam Brown, the Mountie‘‘ Harry played both parts in an accomplished manâ€" ner‘‘ Bill Langdon baffled the audience in his interpretation of Lawyer Silas Skinner.‘‘ It was the first time that the good people of Timmins saw a person that looked like a lawyer since the town was founded. Bill‘s disâ€" guise was perfect. Specialist of New York and Montreal Hospitals Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat 50%, Third Avenue Timmins Eyes Tested THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Graveyard Shift Quartette gave a clever demonstration of four miners overcome with dynamite fumes, forced to walk up the manway for 1,500 feet to surface, given chloroform in misâ€" take for ammonia by the firstâ€"aid man, struck off the payroll and overcome by sewer gas in their mad rush to the theatre to give to the audience their interpretation of **‘Just Hoisted Four From Underground.‘‘ After their skit they amused themselves and the players of others numbers in the dressing rooms under the stage by that old number entitled, **Six weeks in a Barâ€"room.‘ They were supported by half the cast of Dan MceGrew. Some of the seenery for this number disappeared, so they left out the last act until the necessary scenery could be procured. lost at the piano, not knowing an octave from a MeFadden Flat, he went through the motions at the old music ‘box with skill, while the verâ€" gatile Scotty Wilson played a second piano back stage. If the event itself is going to be good, it may also be noted that the ceause in which it is being held will also appeal to most people. The funds are to go to the organizing and financâ€" ing of a big boxing event to be held in Timmins on July 1st This boxing bout will be the biggest tournament of its kind ever attempted in the North Land. The dance on Friday (tomorrow) evening, May 27th, in the Melntyre Recreation hall, Schumacher, under the direction of **‘Tex‘‘ Jardine, is sure to be an enjoyable one. _ The musie for the event will be supplied by the A. 8. D. orchestra, which is to be specially augmented for the occaâ€" sion. _ Refreshments will be served and all will be done to make the dance a big success. Special buses have been arranged for transportation faâ€" cilities for Timmins and district, and all efforts are now being centred on assuring a noteworthy success for the event. Pete Bardessono, Gene Colombo and Ted Emery, as the barâ€"room musiâ€" cians, amused the audience with ten minutes of song and music. _ Pete, as ‘‘Benzine Johnson,"‘‘ the blackâ€" faced accordian player, and ‘Gene, as the Italain fiddler and singer, held the audience spellbound. Ted Emery, in the role of the barâ€"room pianist, went to great expense and spent a deal of time in preparing himself to act the part. He has since stated that it was a pleasure making the preparaâ€" tions, but that the morning after was not so pleasant. One of his numbers sounded to the audience like the ‘‘Rosary,‘‘ but he claimed it was, ‘*Where do you workâ€"a, John ?" The setting for the shooting of Dan McGrew was realistic that after the drop of the curtain, when the bar and rail were taken out the stage door and set in the alley, several of the players continued the act at the bar in the alley.

WIN FROUM WEEK LAST The Holly Rees. have started up the ladder in the P.D.EF.L. race. (On Thursday last they defeated the Hollâ€" inger by a seore of 5 to 1. The match was slow «ompared to the others this season, but still it was all right. McWhinnie, the new centre forward of the Rees., showed his stufft and he certainly knows the game. He is very tricky in dribbling the ball and otherwise shows outstanding talent. Match Not So Fast as Others This Season, but it Was Good. Mcâ€" Whinnie Shows Up Well. The Rees. were in little doubt from the start as to having the Hollinger beat, for MceKenzie netted within three minutes from the kickâ€"off. The match continued in the next ten minâ€" utes in the Rees.‘ quarters, but the Hollinger were faulty in shooting. The Rees. then took the better of the argument for the rest of the half. McWhinnie drove a long shot past Oleson for a goal, and this score stood till the changeâ€"over. On resuming play, the Rees. started pressing, when Robson got a pass and seored. This appeared to be an easy one for Oleson to save, as it seemed only to crawl through his arms. The Hollinger made some desperate atâ€" tempts, but could not beat Liddle or Stephenson, who were clearing nicely. Elrick had nothing to do except bootâ€" ing goal kicks, which were few. McKenzie got the fourth goal from a neat pass from MeLlLatchie. _ The Hollinger came down with a rush and kept the play for some time in the Rees.‘ quarters. Elrick was called upon to save at the expense of a corner from Gustaysen. Dunbar took the corner and Gustaysen headed it in past Elrick for the Hollinger‘s only woal of the game. Before the match finished, McWhinnie dribbled his way through five of the Hollinger players and secored the fifth for the Rees.

One of the youngest members of the team but has the temperament of an old cainâ€" paigner. His exceptional reach enâ€" ables him to take high balls with ease, and he had a large pair of hands with a clutch that seldom fails him. _ One of his most brilliant exhibitions was in the Glasgow Cup final against Celtic in October, when he was unâ€" lucky to lose the only goal of the match. He is the only goalkeeper in the touring party which reflects the complete confidence reposed in him by the Sceottish F. A. selectors. Born in Renfrew. A despatch last week from Toronto says that the second divisional court has dismissed with costs the appeal of The Northern News last week says: ‘Have you noticed the fishy taste in the Cobalt drinking water? _ It is caused by the spawning of fish in the lakes which give the supply. Nothâ€" ing ean be done about it within reaâ€" sonable cost, officials tell The Northâ€" ern News, except that householders who do not like the taste should boil the water and allow it to cool again before using.
