His brother, Joseph, now living in Timmins, and woell past seventy years of â€"age, was also on the staff of the Hudson Bay Co.

These songs were:â€""Ma Curâ€" lyâ€"headed Babby," "Aura Lee," and "Alice in Wonderland." . These songs were melodicus and attractive and the sweet voices of the girls added to the treat of the songs themselves. To many these three numbers were alone worth the price of admission. "Alice in Wonderland" was cleverly illustrateg by a parade of characters from the famous children‘s classic, and the rcunds of applause showed the appreâ€" ciation of the audience. The second play of the evening was "A Night at an Inn" by Lord Dunsany. This play was effectively directed by Miss Garrow, and each character carâ€" ried his part in very able way. Four seamen hide in a lonely inn with a ruby stclen an Indian idol. Three avenging priests seek the return cof the idol‘s eye, the ruby. In the end the idol itself appears to recapture its missâ€" ing and valuable eye. It was all deâ€" picted with much skili and artistry. The characters of the play were:â€""A. ®.

Klesh," Jim Gregulski. 1 "Columbine" a play of Beauty. music, dancing, art and with touches of the mystic, made a very general popular _appeal. The scenic effects, the cosâ€" tumes, the lighting, the music and the dances were very pleasing. This little play brcught back the "immortal wandâ€" erers from fairyland," Columbine, Harâ€" lequin, Pierrot, and the fairies, while "Dan‘l," ‘"Nathan‘l" and the "Old Man" were also there to complete the "study in contrasts." The characters in "Columbine," in the crder of appearâ€" ance, weoere as follows:â€"prologue, by Jean MacDonald; "Nathan‘l." Jim Clarke; "Dan‘l," Wilko Sivunen: "Coalâ€" umbine,‘" Geraldine Beaudin:; "Harleâ€" quin," Cecil Linder; "Pierrot," Jacques Sauve; "Old Man," Jack Brovender: fairies, Clare Jean Lochrie, Ethel Bateman, Mary Moroz. This play was directed by Miss Carthy, and the way it was presented reflects credit on cach and all concerned. There was variety and interest on the pregramme throughout. It was cerâ€" tainly a, case where the event fully livâ€" ed up to the advance notices. There was something gocd for all tastes and ecach and every character was delineatâ€" ed with a care and understanding that would do credit to professionals. As for the acting, the students takâ€" ing part displayed notable ability and the way each and all entered into the roles assigned was a pleasure to the audience and a credit to the actors and actresses and thosé directing them. | The Theatre Nights presented last | Thursday and Friday evenings in th> H.S. auditorium by the students of th» Timmins High and Vscational School proved to be outstanding successes in every way. The auditorium was crowdâ€" l ed to capacity on each evening and th> !audibnccs thoroughly enjsyed the proâ€" ‘gramme presented. The three onsgâ€"act plays were clever and the acting, scenic effects, lighting, staging and other necessary features were carried through with unusual talent. The scenery was by Mr. Worthington, Mr. and the boys of the woodworking deâ€" partment and the stage equipment was certainly a credit to the department and all connected with it. Equal praise is deserved by the electrical department l of the school for the lighting for th» cccasion and for the clever effects proâ€" l duced in this line. Many may be surâ€" prised to know that the beautiful cos-! tumes for the play "Columbine" wore! designed and made by the Domestic Science department, which department deserves compliment for its pleasing efficiency. | There are already ‘over thirtyâ€"five girls entered in the popularity contest sponsored by the Riverside Pavilion and a number of the business men of the town.
