Local Talent Makes Hit «>‘ in "Here Comes Charlie" «* > An entirely local cast made big success last night of the first perforâ€" mance of "Here Comes Charlie," a thrteâ€"act comedy presented at the Goidfields theatre under the auspices of the Canadian Legion. Although the house was not full, there was a better than averagso attendance. The scene of the action is in the suâ€" burban home of Larry Ellistt (Ron Jones), a wealthy young man, whose aunt by marriage, Mrs. Fanny Farnâ€" ham (Mrs. W. D. Forrestet) is trying to marry him off to Vivian Smytheâ€" Kersey (Miss Madge Webb). A note comes to Larry from an old friend in the Ozarks sending him Uncle Alex Twiggs (Wilson Thompson) and a real surprise~*‘Charlie" Hopps (Miss Peggy Shaw).

Cousintine, wh has been working with the cast fo the past few we*ks, was shown to b good by the fine manner in which th play was rum off. Music and Dancing Good The Croatian string orchestraâ€" fron Schumacher provided music before th curtain rose and during the intermis sion. Th#ir unique instruments togeth® with their skill and unusua) harmon was welcome variety. Between Acts I and 'II little Miss Helen Rhea Channen, daughter of Mrs. H. R. Channen and pupil of Miss Margarect Easton, appeared on the stage in ballet costume. Her graceful little movements marked her as a comâ€" ing star with the audience. She went through a complex routine with hardly a pause. is now located in the THIRD AVE.

Smart enough to see and fit tog:ther everything that went on around him, Uncle Alex could not be changed even by phenomenal success in the stock market. success in the stock market. Another difficult bit of character acting was well done by Ted Blockley whose representation of an inane EFelishman, monocled, but at the same eVE jill v jately Bayba 1¢€ "Hill Billy" Girl iw had possibly the most difâ€" . to take in the play. As a * girl, crude of speech and 1 dresseod, she was called upon most outrageous things and to go to the lengths of being ly fond of one goldfish which aame of "Shadrach Meshach necause it â€"Ohaa survived 11 second entre act a dainty ladies from and three "perfec btle count?y erself betw*ren : iâ€"mannered, mod kin itiemen," wh Jp hats wer xven an playved pian 17(‘ time somewn laughter for written it in danced | was "a beast | es were figure quite ; a gro 1i a byâ€" ct genâ€" THE POBCUPINE ADVANCE, axled time somewhat likeable, createq the laughter for which the author had written it in. Though life in general was "a beastly bore" for Mortimer Emytheâ€"Kersey, he did manage to figure quite prominently in the plot. Anotluy "Double" Part Another part requiring transformaâ€" tion of character was that played by Mrs. W. D. Forrest>r as Mrs. Farnham. In the first two acts "Aunt Fanny‘ was a scheming woman, intent on getting Larry‘s house away from him and forcing his marriage to Vivian. Her "nerves" were excuse erough to bring on an attack any time her wishes were not granted. In the final act she had done an about turn and become a plaâ€" cid woman, helpful, kindly and not in the least mercenary. The part of the hero, Larry Elliott, played by Ron Jones, was one that reâ€" quired a great amount of preparation and no little acting ability. The charâ€" acter was more normal than most of the others. William Docton, who playsd the part of Larry‘s chum, Ted Hartley, was well dore. Outspoken in his dislikes, yet more than willing to help both Charlie and Larry to eventual happiness, Ted became an important factor in the more complex situations. Miss Webb had a difficult role in that of Vivian Smytheâ€"Kersey, repreâ€" sented as aâ€" fortuneâ€"hunting young woman easily upset by the irrational actions of the two visitors from the Ozarks. Mrs. A. Irwin as Vivian‘s scheming mother had a similar part and both characters were portrayed well. The tendency to over accent ecâ€" centricities in roles such as these two was not noticeable at all. Although minor in relation to the actual action of the play, the duo of Irish who added a great deal of fun were a good finishing touch. Mrs. Deâ€" vine‘s performance as Nora, the maid, was well over par, while Fred Curtis as Officer Tim McGrill upheld all the dignity of the law without being too serious about it all. "Here Comes Charlie" is worth attending. Its final performance is toâ€" night at 8.15 at the Goldfields, Supercharged Car in Lower Price Field Offering of Grahamâ€"Paige Motors: of Canada Sets New Standard. The world speed records on land, water and in the air are held by superâ€". charged engines. _ The leading sport cars of England and Europe have lbeen: equipped with superchargers for years. The most costly car produced in this continent,. the Duesenberg, 265 h.p. was the first passenger car manufactured on this side of the Atlantic to have a supercharged as standard equipment Superchargers have long been employ â€" ad on aircraft engines and for many years have been a feature of the engines of the better type of razcing cars, says Major C. H. Emercon, B.A. Sc., M.S.A.E. in Canadian Motorist. Many of the advances in motor car design have come via what have been termed the labkorâ€" atories of the aid and speedway Two years ago Graham took time by the forelock in introducing a medium pricâ€" sd car with a supercharger equipped engine. In 1935 Graham extended the practice and now at the advent of the automotive year of 1936 again takes the initiative in making available to the public a popularly priced car equipped with a supercharger. Possibly better than any words a ride in a supercharged car will explain through its performance the reason why some of the best known automctive enâ€" gineers on both sides of the Atlantic Entirely new cars are announced by the Grahamâ€"Paige Motors (Canada) Ltd., for 1936. All are priced in the low ranges and are to be known as the Cavalier, Series 90, and the Superâ€" charger, Series 110. selieve that in the not distant future superchargers will be standard equipâ€" ment on many makes of cars. In the Supercharger, Graham estabâ€" lishes a revolutionary trend in the industry by introducing the superâ€" charger to the lowerâ€"priced field for the first time. All the cars are sixes. Body styles comprise twoâ€"door and fourâ€"door sedans and coupe in the Cavâ€" alier and Supercharger. All body styles have safety glass in windshields and all windows. Optional equipment at slight extra cost includes the new flexible spoke steering wheel, and a new design in headlights and ¢twin horns, in which the horn motors are concealed in the back of each streamlined headlamp. In all cars, one piece, deep crown, deeplyâ€" skirted fenders, newlyâ€"designed bumâ€" pers, steel artilleryâ€"type wheels, and wide bodies complete the exterior stylâ€" ing. + All cars feature trunk models with a spare wheel and tire carried inside the body. Access to this compartment is through an coutside lid, at the rear of All models feature twoâ€"way direct acting hydraulic shock absortbers, rubâ€" berâ€"cushioned and outboard mounted semiâ€"elliptic springs Iâ€"beam front axle, cam and lever steering, with safety type threeâ€"spoke wheel, artillery type steel wheels, semiâ€"floating rear axle with spiral bevel gear drive, needle bearâ€" ing universals, tubular propeller shaft, silent transmission with helical, gears and synchronizers, single dry plate clutch. the body, hinged at its top and secured with a key.

All models feature aluminum cylinder heads, and aluminum pistons with inâ€" var struts to lower reciprocating weight, reduce the load on the bearings and improve engine performance Hydraulic internal expanding DraXxes of Graham manufacture are featured, with drums fully protected against dirt and moisture as standard equipment on all three cars. The Graham Cavalier is powered with a sixâ€"cylinder, Lâ€"head engine with 3!4 â€" inch lbore, 4 3â€"8â€"inch stroke and 217.8 cubic inch displacement, which develops 85 horsepower. This engine includes an aluminum cylinder head with 6.7 to 7 compression, four, bearing, counterâ€" balanced crankshaft, dual downâ€"draft carbureter with vacuum economizer, and automatic manifold heat control. While the new Supercharger is powâ€" ered with the same type of engine, it develops 112 brake horsepower. A centrifugal supercharger, which forces fuel into each of the cylinders, inâ€" creases the power of the engine 32 per cent. This high velocity delivery and pressure injection of more thoroughly vaporized fuel into the engine‘s comâ€" bustion chambers accomplishes faster pickâ€"up with increased fuel economy, especially at high speeds. Dr. Robertson Returns to His Home in Toronto Dr. Robertson was sufficiently reâ€" eovered from his recent trying experiâ€" ence, when he was imprisoned in the Moose River mine in Nova Scotia with two companions, that he was able on Tuesday to board a private car on the Ocean Limited and accompanied by his physician, Dr. Iann MacDonald, and Mrs. Rcobertson, to begin his journey back to his home in Toronto. As he boarded the train Dr. Robertson had a ready smile for ‘his friends at the staâ€" tion, tbut as one Nova Scotian is quoted as saying at the time, "they can‘t keep the smile long from Dr. Robertson‘s face. He even smiled when he came up from underground after the rescue." Friends in Timmins, however, will be pleased to know that Dr. Robertson has made wonderful recovery from his desâ€" perate experience and appears in really good health again. The other survivor from the acceident, Alfred Scadding is still in a Halifax hospital, but has apparently passed the danger point, and is well on the way also to recovery. The fears that it might be necessary to amputate one of his feet seems to have passed. He is still taking treatment at the hosâ€" pital for trench feet, but evidently is making satisfactory progress to reâ€" covery. ‘The inquest into the death of, Herâ€" man Magill, who died before he could be rescued from the mine, is to be reâ€" sumed at Moose River toâ€"day.

SHOWROOMâ€"Cedar and Second Ave. GAR ACGEâ€"8 Balsam Street South McDowell Motors Mo Wish to Extend Thanks Announcement Italy Asserts Rule Over All of Ethiopia Tuesday night at Rome Premier Musâ€" solini proclaimed to 40,000,000 foyful Italians massed throughout the country that the Roman legions had swept into Addis Ababa and that "EFthiopia is now Italian." "The war is finished Il Duce is quoted as saying, I announce to the Italian people and the world that peace has been reâ€"established." He said that Italy was ready to defend their viectory with the same ccurage and persistence that had won the victory. There were sencral demonstrations all over Italy, the people being fairly hysterical in their pride and joy in the, victory. Yesterday, toâ€"day and toâ€"morrow by order ‘the flags fly all over Italy in honour of the great victory the Italian armies have won in completely conquerâ€" ing Ethiopia. While Italy rejoiced, the Europeans in Addis Ababa more quietly welcomed the Italian â€" troops. Marshal â€" Badoglio marched into the capital of Ethiopia at the head of 30,000 Italian troops and the chaos in the city was ended as if by magic. The various legations for days had been in a state of virtual seige from the Ethiopian tribesmen who were looting and burning the city. * 4 ‘ascist Throngs Hysterical a s Mussolini Declares Peace Achieved on Roman Terms. In London, England, and in other European capitals the Italian victory over Ethiopia and the declaration by Premier Mussolini are received with somewhat mixed feelings. In London the attitude assumed is to the effect that a realistic view should lse taken of che situation. The government, howâ€" ever, is looking for public opinion as a guide to forming policies for the present and the future. Premier Baldwin is quoted as saying that the government will have to take stock of the League‘s position in ithe light of the apparent failure of collective action in the Italoâ€" Ethiopian dispute. There seems to be a feeling that articles in the League of Nations constitution should be amended. One proposal is for the removal of the obligation to go to war in cer‘lain tirâ€" cumstances. Others argue that this would be a complete acknowledgement of the helplessness and the uselessness of the League. The Marquis Of Noâ€" thian in a letter to The Times suggests that Britain declare a sort of Munroe doctrine for Belgium and France, and possibly Holland, while divesting herself of any obligation to defend by force the status quo elsewhere in Europe.
