In many instances police found well known gangsters carrying arms and were able to question them at length before attorneys secured their release. Police were successful even In prosecuting a 'gun-toting' charge against "Polack Joe" Saltis, south side beer baron, and Saltis, now "at large faces a 60-day sentence for carrying concealed weapons. But two days ago police arrest- ed "Spike" O'Donnell, another south side chieftain. "Spike" was standing on his mother's porch holding a revolver. He was charg- ed with carrying a concealed weapon. Appearing in Judge Leroy Fair- bank's municipal eourt, O'Donnell's attorneys demanded the charge be dismissed on the grounds "Spike" was making no attempt to conceal the weapon at the time of his ar- rest. "Spike" testified he had the gun to protect himself from his rivals, but explained "I wasn't concealin' the gun, your honor, I was holding it out in the open.' "Case dismissed," Fairbank.

F., Unitt Pro- 'vides Splendid Entertain- ment -- Will Be Repeated Monday At the Christmas season the toy shops prove a delight to the many children who visit them and last evening "The Toy Shop', as pre- sented by the pupils of the North Simcoe school, under the direc- tion of Mr. L, Unitt, director of music in the public schools, and the members of the staff of North Simcoe school, proved a delight to the large audience in attendance. The classroom was crowded to capacity, and since the accommod- ation was so small and the audi- ence go enthusiastic and so pleased with the presentation it was de- cided, by the members of the staff, to repeat the play on Monday evening in the school at 8 o'clock, Mr, L, Unitt played the musica! accompaniment for the three-act play. The Salesroom The salesroom, which was the scene of the three acts, showed the counter with its display of daint- ily dressed dolls, toy cats, dogs, gaily dressed Jack-in-the- box and teddy bears, Here Tina, Mabel Cain. worked as a slave for Mrs, Grumby, a grouchy type of woman- hood, which was enacted by Day Hall. Tina had never known a father or mother, and only reme bered the gypsy woman,.who b at her and from whom she ran away, and the scolding Mrs, Grumby, She was not permitted to handle | the toys and her only playmate was | the Oldest Doll, who has been in the shop ever since its real owner left it in charge of the Grumbys, Near Christmas It was two days before mas and Tina wished for a Christ- mas tree and a real Christmas, At time, The voices of these young people were exceedingly fine and did eredit to the training they had received from Mr, Unitt." Tina showed the children the toys in another room and during her ab- sence the owner of the shop, the i old Toymaker, came in, Carmen Hughes, won the applause of the audience with his portrayal of the Old Toymaker, in his white trous- ers, yellow swallow-tail coat, grey bkair and spectacles, which are worn low on the nose, He had just returned from a ten year search for his lost daughter and be asked the Grumbys to allow him to spend Christmas Eve in &he shop as he used to do. The lul- laby, which Tina, sang to the Old- est Doll, was one-of the appealing musical numbers in the act. At Midnight The second act was laid in the same room on Midnight of the same day. That night the toys awoke and began celebrating their annual feast. The Pink Huzzar, Ray Coad, told of his remarkable conquests, not in war but in love, and how the women loved his small blond moustache, in the song "The Wooden. Soldier." He and the Jack-in-the ' Box, Gordon Morri- son, vied with each other for the fayor of the flirtatious Kewpie, Margaret Gowdy, and the poor Jack-in-the-Box was discarded for the dashing soldier. The Oldest Doll, Florence Heaps, told of the olden days when the Old Toymaker ran the shop and spoke of the three Christ- | this time a group of school-child- | ren come in to see Tina, and told | Tina, in song, that it was vacation | one day on the condition that when she had made the third wish she would be thrown into the ash heap. Her only wish prior to that night had heen that she might remain in the store forever, However in her reminiscences and kindly thoughts of the Old Toymaker she wishea that he might find his lost daugh- ter, She believed she recognized the Old Toymaker in the elderly gentleman who had visited tle store that morning. The special musical number in that scene was the 'Song of the Teddy Bear" which was sung and acted by Eld- red York, Robert Fleming, Robert Small and Jack Dafoe, Christmas Eve In the third act the Toymaker met Tina in the shop on Christmas Eve and recognized her as his lost daughter by the lullaby she sings to the Oldest Doll, It was the one he had taught ber in the olden days, Thus a merry Christ- mas was spent by the little girl, who thought that 'Happiness was just a game I cannot learn to play." Music Appreciated Although the play was in itself of such high merit that it demand- ed little else to make the evening a success a fine musical program was given following the third act by a number of the pupils, with the exception of Miss L, Arnold, who gave two fine solos, 'The Garden of Happiness', and for an t | encore "The Lilac Tree", The Wooden Soldier parade and drill | was applauded by the audience to | such an extent that the soldiers, | Marion McDonald, Eva Wright, | Violet Dewberry, Ida Dyment, | Inez Roy, Daisy Hall, Jennie Grah- am, Kathleen Wilson and Chelma Morrison, were called back for an encore. Four little girls, Marion | Ross, Isabelle Ralph, Hilda Sheri- { dan and Irene Corben, sang the | song "Going to Meeting."
