Their skatâ€" ing had the completeness that showed their vears of training, and the agility that showed patience. Top honours for local talent go to Miss Margaret Keeley and Mr. Alex Fulton whose spectacular pair skating gave a thrill to all. Audiences proâ€" claimed their vride in these performâ€" ers with applause that recked the arena and accorded no less honour> to all who took part in the great spectacle.

From the castle that had been erectâ€" ed at one end of the large ice surface, came treasures greater than any man had in castles of old. Treasures which could not be bought, for their charm and skill, made them priceless, They were the members of the local skating club, over three hundred of them, with guest performers whose names are well known in Canada. These treasures were clad in sparkling costumes, and they danced over the coloured ice surface with a pageantry so magnifiâ€" cent that it will never be forgotten by the hundreds of guests who formed the audiences at the three performances in the McIntyre Arena on Saturday afternoon and evening, and Monday evening.

Bearing out the white were Mrs. W. smook, Misses Mabel Durrell, Julle Popovitch, Pat Gregg, Mary Zadorozny, Mary Lou Landreville, Shirley Karaâ€" han, Kilkka Filppula, Mrs. Ed Reed, and Mrs. Mary Heise.

In dainty oldâ€"fashioned costumes with poke bonnets to match, couples carried through the title of their numâ€" ber ‘"Smilin‘ Thru,‘ waltzing with the true grace of the oldâ€"fashiloned waltz.

Each number was amazingly well timed, graceful bodies swaying in perfect rhythm to music that seemed to have been written especially for this event, and showing the progress that has been made by the hundreds of members of the club under the direction of the club profesâ€" sional, Miss Madge Austin.

Mike Maâ€" loney and Norman Russell starred in the questionable number which was performed to the music of "Three O‘clock in the Morning" and "Whistlâ€" er‘s Motherâ€"inâ€"Law." Their escapades were done with the finesse of profesâ€" sional comics, with Norman Russell as the ‘"lady" practically "stealing the show" as "she" made her approaches to a gentleman in the audience. . In "Horsing Around" Tom Harkness and Lionel Boni as the horse, showed what should not happen to any good ringâ€" master, as played by Gordon Paul. ‘"Wally" Diestelmevyer made his reâ€" turn performance for Porcupine audiâ€" ences with a singles routine that showed his strength, balance and agility. The young man, of whom great things are expected in the world‘s skating history, is already an accomâ€" plished skater, and those who saw his feats on silver blades, realized that the pair championship won by Wally and Floraine Ducharme is only the beginning of what the pair will do. Floraine, in a similar solo, bore out this conclusion, and in their pair routne, the two showed an amazing mastery of the difficult art of perfection in figure skating. "Iâ€"Skiâ€"Pades," arranged and trained by Mrs. E. P. Thompson, the first proâ€" fessional at the skating club, proved that skis and skates could be blended in a beautiful performance. The white skiing costumes, with their trimming of red or blue, were exceptionally well chosen, and the figures performed by the cast were excellent. The skiers were Misses Olga Bernyk, Anita Flynn, Elizabeth Sandul, Mary Zadorozny, Katie Burke, Joyce Jenkins, Betty Mcâ€" Guire, Norma Tario, Pat Gregg, Vera Jenkins, Marjorie Tomkinson, and Pat Campbell. "Espagnol" was the title of the pair skating by Margaret Keeley and Alex Pulton, their blue and gold costumes fitting admirably the rhumba rhythm which they danced. Miss Keeley has the necessary grace and poise, while her partner, Mr. Fulton, has the strength to make this pair perfect. It was suggested after their number that Margaret and Alex might well repreâ€" sent the Porcupine in future chamâ€" pionships. Alex Fulton returned later in the programme to give a solo "Cosâ€" sack Dance" which featured quick graceful leaps and the "kick" which is common in every Cossack number. A far Eastern scene was played in a short skit, "Aladdin," in which the master of the lamp performed his most amazing feat of bringing dancers of the silver blades to the palace of the sultan.. The skit included in its cast a larger number of performers than any other number, and was highlighted by the appearance of very little ladies. As Aladdin (James Fraser), rubbed the wonderful lamp, the Genie (Gorâ€" don Paul)}, appeared to grant his wishes, and then came a panorma of George Vary, Roy Dunbar, Bill Paul, Franclts Murray, Andrew Doige, Ed. Keeley, Harold Neilly, Omar Lafonâ€" taine, Orvil Atkins and Ed. Reed. Single Copyâ€"Five Cents
