The cast representing the Senior Literary Society of the Collegiate In- stitute excelled themselves on Wed- nesday evening, when the® present- ed "The Merchant of Venice Up-to- Date." The play, which was staged in five acts, was indeed very enter- taining, and reflected - great credit upon all of those taking part, as well as those who were responsible for the training. If Shakespeare could have wit- nessed his beloved drama thus "'mod- erniz®d" he might have been slight- ly taken back, but it was all done in good part and the local touches which were introduced from time to| time only added to the enjoyment of all. As the play is to be produced again on Thursday evening, it would not be wise to describe it in detail, as it would lessen the interest of those who have yet to witness It. Van Mills, who appeared in the role of "Shylock," handled his par: in a most capable manner. His act- ing showed careful study of the role, and Shakespeare himself could have found no fault with his rendering of it. Miss Lola 8aundercook, who play- ed the parts of 'Portia' 'and *"Jessi- ca," did exceptionally well, and at the close of the performance one heard compliments on all sides. Miss Anna Pragér was to have taken th» part of "Portia," but owing to a mis-| fortune which befell her last week, when #he dislocated her instep while playing basketball, she was forced to retire. Miss Saundercook, with only a week's practice, learned the lines perfectly, and acted the role of "Portia" in a most creditable manner. Miss Violet Anglin as "Nerissa" was 'most charming. Miss Ethel Pringle, who filled two oles, those of "Miss Abbie 8. Threedice," a teacher, and "Mrs. Gobbo, Launce- lot's mother," did her work perféct-| ly. Miss Gladys Coon as "Rolly, | Partia's maid," was good. ! The others 'who appeared in the! cast are as follows: Gerald Scott as "Antonio," Donald Simpson as *Bassanlo," David Kingsbury as "@ratiano," Donald Raney as "Tu-| bal," Ben Cunningham as "Launce-| lot," Robert. Trowbridge as "The Duke" of Venice," Aubrey Johnston | 1 as "Professor of Sciéncé," and the Wardell " Policeman," Knight. | These K.C.I. boys did exceptionally | well. . Miss Sheridan as directress and | coach, Miss Edwards as art direct-| rehh and Stewart Lavell as stage] manager, are to be warmly congra!-| ulated upon the success of the play. | Miss Edwards, one of the téach- | ers, gpenmt many evenings painting | the scenery, which was mich ad- pearance of the stage.

There were no dull minutes dur- ing the evening and during the in- termissions between acts some ex- ceptionally fine stunts were put ou | by the scholars. The negro act pre- sented by D. Graham and Edington Connolly, was very funny. "Shoo!- ing Shakespeare," a movie skit which was put on by I. Fraser, Bob McKelvey, R. Lavell and C. Parker, was something new and gave the audience a real laugh. Gardiner's Most Melodious Merry Mixed Min- strels, composed of R. Gardiner, W. McDonald, G. Laturney, A. McDoa- ald, Arthur Andrews, Arthur Chris'- mas, A. Colclough and Blain Phil- lips, entertained the audience bo- tween the third and fourth acts Their playing was so much appreci- ated that they had to respond with encores. The Junior Literary Society orchestra gave some very fine selections. The orchestra was made up of the following: Miss Sugarman, N. Rhutbard, EB. Strachan, A. Cliff, A. Andrews, A. McDonald and A. Minnes. The even- ing was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem. EVENTS AT PICTON Several Deaths Are Recorded --Ready-to-wear Factory May Be Opened.
