(90a) LARGE AUDIENCE AT LITTLE THEATRE Local Company Again Pleases With Presentation of "Outward Bound" The second presentation of "Out- ward Bound" by the Oshawa Little Theatre players at for Rotary Hall last night was thoroughly enjoyed by an even larger audience than was presented for the opening perform- ance on Monday. Encouraged by the splendid support given, those taking part in the play rose nobly to the occasion, and the performance given ranked on a high level. The chief characters again received the warm plaudits of the audience for their able presentation of what is admittedly a difficult vehicle for dramatic expression. Particular mention should be made of the characterization given by Mr. J. McKinnon in the role of Mr. Lingley a self-made, self-centred usiness man, who, accustomed to ride rough shod over everyone who comes in his way, finds that his usual policy of bluster and bluff will not help him when he faces the Great Examiner. Mr. McKinnon gave a most realistic interpretation of this part, and his performance was rank- ed as one of the high lights of a very successful presentation. The play will be repeated again tonight and tomorrow night, HIGH WATER MARK ON LAKE ONTARIO (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 17.--Never In years has Lake Ontario achieved as high a water mark as it has at the present time in the opinion of old Port Whitby residents. At the present time the level of the water in the harbor is but a foot below the level of the pier where as or- dinarily it is at least three below. Itis considered that the spring floods and heavy rains of recent date have contributed to the high water mark. ® BROTHERS SENT TO PENITENTIARY Milton and Ira Janis Given Terms of Three and One Half Years "(By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, April 17--Milton and Ira Janis, brokers, who operated the | ya defunct Toronto Securities Corpora- tion pleaded guilty to charges of fraud in county court here today and were sentenced by Judge Den- ton to three and a half years' im- risonment, their sentences to date ¢k to March 11, 1928.

RATE WAR STARTS IN BORDER CITIES ®y Canadian Press Leased Wire) Windsor, April 17--The border's hydro-operated radial system lost several hundred passengers this morning when taxicabs carried De- troit-bound workmen from Ford City to the Windsor ferry dock for a ten-cent fare. The distance is from three' to four miles. The low rate was instituted because the hydro's motorbus service pended last night and the town coun- cil refused to grant jitney licenses. Reminding the husbands of the United States that their wives spent $300,000,000 on cold cream last year sounds very much like rubbing it in,--Border Cities Star was sus- PAYSON HOLTLAND GIVEN BY NEWRERS OF LOCAL CHURCH FOUR DRAMAS GIVEN FINE PRESENTATION LAST NIGHT Play Again Tonight Under Direction of Rev. S. C. Jarrett Displaying an ability as dramatic artists a number of the members of the Holy Trinity church, under the direction of Rev, S. C. Jarrett, pre- sented four »biblical dramas in the basement of "Holy Trinity last eve- ning. In view of the numerous other events of the evening the audience was not as large as the acting of these artists merited. Those who did not see these dramas last evening will be afforded the opportunity this evening when they will again be pre- sented in the church. The stage was arranged in an ex- cellent manner and was in exact keeping with the Eastern atmos- phere of the stories. The background showed the mountainous districts of the East, while in the foreground of the stage tents had been pitched by the wandering people. The property and stage committee displayed re- markable ability in their choice of the stage setting. The first drama presented was "Sacrifice" and depicted the story of the offering of Isaac as a living sac- rifice to God by Abraham. Abraham had conceived the idea that God was demanding a living sacrifice from him, for he believed that the Lord was a stern God who wished "an eye for an eye." In the last scene it showed Abraham on the mountain receiving from God a message in which he learned of the true char- acter of the Diety. Miss Doris Kil- burn as Sara, Mr. Harry Amey as Abraham and Mr. Ernest Attersley as Isaac excelled themselves in their portrayal of 'these characters.. The Eastern garb worn by these artists added color to the scenes. "Ishmael" was the second drama, in which it was shown that God will protect the needy at all times. bib- lical story of how Hagar's mother love prevented her from parting from her son Ishmael, even after she had told Sara that she would do so, and the jealousy which re- sulted between Sarah and Hagar, Ishmael and Sarah's son, was shown. The turning out of Hagar and Ish- mael and Ishmael's need for nourish- ment were climaxes in the story. The inevitable protection which the Lord offers the needy and the return of Ishmael and Hagar to the city clo- sed the story of Ishmael, Hagar was portrayed by Miss Alma Dalton; Ab- raham, Claude' Harvey, Ishmael, Norman Attersley; Sarah, Miss Mar- garet Bdllivant; the shepherd, John Bellingham; the angel, Miss Emily Anderson, The scene of "Diana of the Ephe- sians" was laid in the city of Ephe- sus. The Ephesians made their live- lihood by the carving of silver Dian- as and selling these to the people, who in turn worshipped them as id- ols. Dimetrius, portrayed by Frank Cowell, was one of the wealthy sil- versmiths of Ephesus. At the time of the story St. Paul, was' preaching the Gospel and he was approaching Ephesus. Unknown to Dimetrius, his wife, Alasia, Miss Grace Doherty, and his slave, Nicholas, John Bell- ingham, had®become Christians and were followers of St. Paul. Dimet- rius and other silversmiths in the city were planning to destroy St. Paul, who was warned by Dimetrius's wife. St. Paul escaped and Nicholas, the slave was accused. Dimetrius planned to beat Nicholas to death and while in the act of doing this was stopped by his wife who took the entire blame for St. Paul's escape. They parted and lived apart for many months until one day Dimetrius heard the Christians singing and the slave Nicholas, reading from the New Testament and then he also became a believer. Lobelius, Dimetrius's friend, Miss Doris Jones, and Mar-| cusm, a gynical friend, Miss Dorothy Devenish, were the other main char- acters in the story, The final drama to be presented was the well-known and - favorite "Samson and Delilah." This drama | required a great deal of ability on the part of the artists and they al- so excelled themselves. The story of the betrayal of Samson, the Jew, bv his lover, Delilah, to her own peo- ple the Philistines is well-known. But the fact that Delilah was more to be pitied than blamed and that she s the victim of a plot were clearly outlined last evening. The return of Samson's strength after Delilah had cut his hair in which lay his strength | and the Philistines had made him blind and the destroying 'of the amphitheatre and the five thou- sand Philistines by Samson was the final scene in this last drama. The artists in this, as in the preceding acts, proved themselves equal to re- quiring any expression. The cast was as follows: Samson, Lionel Rowe; Delilah, Miss Cora Leach; Zorobah, the mother of Delilah, Miss Marjorie Hill; Noban, Charlie Dowton; Bers- cha, Miss Marjorie Hill. This evening the order of the dra- mas as they are to be presented will be reversed. This is being done for those - who were unable to remain for the entire performance and yet do not wish to see the first again this evening, i Ten Killed in Wreck Hal, Belgium.-- Ten persons were killed and a score seriously injured When the Paris-Amsterdam express- collided with a freight train near here at 7.40 am, It was feared more bodies 'were ua- der the wreckage, ' a @ Latest Financial News Market Toronto and Hoge on Supplied by Stobie, Forlong and Ce.

H. Bishop, Dep- uty Fire Marshal for the Province of Ontario, acted as judge of the eompetition, and gave great praise to all of the schools for the ex- cellent manner in which the child- en responded to the signals. Mr. ishop stated that the Fire Drill in the Oshawa Public and Separate Schools, was, without doubt, one of the finest to be found in On- tario. He also sta'ed that the re- sponses to alarms, the marching, the general discipline, the orderli- ness of the children and the initi- ative under varying conditions of the pupils, teachers and principals was outs'anding and very gratify- ing to him as Fire Prevention Of- ficer. The shield last November was won by Ritson Road School, and Mr. Bishop again gave the honour to Ritson Road School. When the competition was finished, Mr. Bishop stated that he had a dif- ficult task, as most of the schools were very close in the scoring, but he felt, on final summation of his points that Ri'son Road School by its excellent drill, had merited the honour a second time. Xing Street, Centre Street, and North Simcoe School were -tied for second place; while Albert St. School, St. Gregory's, Mary St., Cedardale, and South Simcoe were close runners up. Fire Chief Elliott, Fire Preven- tion Officer Hobbs of the Local Fire Department, and C. F. Can- non, supervising principal of the Public Schools accompanied Mr. Bishop on his tour of inspection.

From the above map can be seen the bandits' route as far as they were traced, to the neighborhood of Smithville, some six miles south of Beamsville. The road which they were following when last seen would lead them to Dunnville, whence they might have traveled either west along the shore of Lake Erle in the direction of Simcoe, or east towards Port Colborne or Fort Erle, where, it is suggested, transit to the American shore might be made on a rum-running boat. $9.70 to |" EXPRESS EMPLOYEE REMEMBERED ON LEAVING THE G.N.R.
