The Chief Characters The chief characters of the play, in reality Mr, and Mrs. Michael Brown, but posing, by their own invention. as Prince Michael Rob- olsky of Neo-Slavonia, one of those "little buffer states," and as Mrs. James Bulger, the widow of an imaginary old general, had the heaviest parts to portray. Prince Michael, as he appears throughout the play, was represented by N. H. Daniel, who gave an excellent per- formance, and seemed to live, ra- ther than to play the part, while his wife. from whom he had been separated for four years, and who had, in the meantime, taken on a new identity, was portrayed by Mrs. G. D. Conant. The play of conflict- ing emotions in the last act, lead- ing up to a reconciliation, was ex- ceptionally well done, both of these players making the most of their opportunities for skilful acting. The entire play hag its setting in the home of Simon Battersby, whose part was well played by E. C. C. Southey, and whose daughter, Aze gela. a typical modern English girl, with an off-handed manner which cloaks her emotions beneath an air of sophistication, is the pivot ar- ound which the chief characters re- volve, Mrs. W. E. Phillips gave a, finished interpretation of this dif- ficult part, and her costumes were strikingly effective, The action of the play was cen- tred on a dinner party given by the Battersbys in honor of the self-in- vented prince, and the other char- acters were those who were invit- ed to meet the royal personage. Captain Holt, the stolid type of Englishman, who, in his own words, says, "I am an Englishman--take it or leave it,"" played by R. G. Mills, and his dainty wife. portray- ed by Mrs. E. Green, played up to each other exceptionally well, the manner in which the vivacious lit- tle wife cut short her husband's ponderous soliloguies being de- lightful. Mrs. Faithful and her daughter Imogen, two other guests, were played by Mrs. T. Rapson and her daughter, Zoe Rapson, both of them having some rather difficult characterization to do, and they did it well. H. P. Schell, as the argu- mentative Dr. Ainslie, H. C. Lapp. as James Oliver, the secretary to the Prince, and Mrs. B. C. Colpus, as the parlourmaid, had smaller parts, but they fitted well into the general scheme of things. Company Well Balanced The company which presented the play last night was a well-balanced one, and gave evidences of the us- ual eareful training of John Craig, the director of the Little Theatre. The stage settings were particular- ly effective. and were arranged by Mrs. George Armour, while Mrs. Clifford Henry and Mrs. T. R. Cald- well were in charge of the stage properties and the costumes by Miss Grace Burns. v Excellent Music An added attraction to the pres- entation was the excellent musical program played by the Little Thea- tre Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Helen Johnston. This or- chestra is making splendid progress, and last night its playing was greatly enjoyed, its selections tak- ing in a wide range of musical composition. The presentation is being repeat- ed this evening, with the final showing at the Rotary Hall tomor- row might, and those who enjoy whimsical comedy. and clever act- ing will find themselves well enter- tained by the Little Theatre players N.Y.

FOREIGN POPULATION THREATENS IN WEST Montreal, Feb. 26.-- Unless the Church is given money to reach the foreigners settling in Western Can- ada, the country will be faced with the menace of having a large hea- then population, Archdeacon Bur- gett of Edmonton stated in making an appeal for contributions to the $85,000 endowment fund for sti- pends for his diocese. Archdeacon Burgett told how im- migrants, whom he considered to have lower standards of morality and of living than the British, were pouring into his diocese, and, hav- ing no priest of their own with them, were neglecting the religious education of their children. Money was needed in order to reach the widely scattered population, he said PLAN WORLD CRUISE ON FISHING BOAT LL] Halifax, N.

The cruise will start March 1 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Abacena, built to withstand all sorts of weather for fishing off Nova Scotia, is now a two-masted yacht with auxiliary power. She is ninety-five feet long, with a twenty- three foot beam, and draws about ten feet of water. HIGH-LINER IS A NATIVE OF NFLD. Boston, Feb. 26. --Among the boys who made good must be list- ed Captain Ernest Parsons of the Boston fishing schooner Lark. Cap- tain Parsons, who has for several years been high liner among the hand trawlers, is 8 native of New Harbor, Nfid. Before joining the Boston fishing fleet he fished out of Gloucester. During the 16 years he has been a fishing skipper he has never lost a man or figured in an accident, Last year each member of his crew took home with him as his share $3.700, free and clear. It is said that Captain Parsons, who has a quarter interest in the Lark, cleared better than the year. Asked how he manages to main- tain his leadership in the fleet Captain Parsons said: "It is like any other business. Success depends upon hard work and attending to business. Perhaps we get away for the fishing grounds a little earlier than the other fellow. We may work throughout the night setting and hauling our trawils and get back to market quicker." Captain Parsons made fifty-seven trips to the fishing grounds last vear, which is considerably better than an average of a trip a week when it is remembered that the overhauling and painting, thereby ing four k: Captain Parsons is married and the father of four daughters. He es- timates that if all the time he has with his family was totaled up it would not exceed two months a year. "Most of my men are married too," he says, "and most of them own their homes, so you see they have more reason than some to make their vessel the high-liner." The Lark carries a crew of twenty seven, including the skip- per, engineer and cook. She launch- es an even dozen dories, two men to on these occasions.

C, M, Mundy This toast was replied to by C. M, Mundy, president of the Mundy Printing Company, pubiishers of The Oshawa Daily Times, Without going into too much detail, Mr, Mundy related the story of his connection wih the company, De- lightfully humorous, but stressing that strain of loyalty and co-opera- tion with which Mr, Mundy has also associated with his work, Mr. Mundy told of the growth from a weekly to a dally of the Oshawa Daily Times, formerly the Ontario Reformer. He outlined the policies of the company, suggest- ing that the ope way towards complete satisfaction for both em- ployer and employee was the co- operation and loyalty which was 80 essential to success, "The management of the Mundy Printing Company {is fortunate stated he president, 'in being abie to say that it possesses one of the finest and most complete staffs of a business house, We are proud of it, and as the newspaper grows and the job printing end of the business grows, we hope that our staff will increase." H. D, Tresidder H. D. Tresidder, manager of the Toronto office of the company was next in line and proposed the toast to the Oshawa Daily Times. Mr. Tresidder was strong in his opin- fon that the staff of the Oshawa office was responsible for a great deal of the eminence which has recently come to the Company and that if this standard is main- tained, there will be little difficul- ty in bringing to a head expansive plans for the company itself, A. R. Alloway A. R. Alloway, busicess man- ager of the Oshawa Times re- sponded to the toast. Mr, Alloway related his association with the firm, which is of ten years dura- tion. He described his early life in newspaper work, and very hum- orously gave an account of some of his initiation into the world of the composing room and editorial departments, "The Toast to the Ladies" was left to the able disposal of Harry Boyce, genial circulation manager of the Times, This toast was re- sponded to by Miss Anne Gibson.

"We've only spent $2,800,000 so far, Of course I can shift along in it now but you couldn't say as how I was really living in it yet." "Scotty" whose real name fis Walter Scott, wore the usual garb of the "desert rat," He registered at one of the largest hotels, The source of "Scotty's" income has been a mystery for years. When ever he appears he spends money lavishly, Several years ago he char- tered a special train to take him to Chicago on a pleasure jaunt, There are many stories as to the source of his wealth, One of them is that he has a gold mine in the desert and that he alone knows its location, Death Valley is near the Nevada-California border. On a pre- vious trip to Los Angeles he an- nounced that he had spent $75,000 to build a telephone line to his de- sert castle.
