Program Of High Order Pleases and
\ Thrills Monster, Crowd On Friday
.w; Night. ■' ■■.' .',.*i ..
.■» Eight hundred enthusiastic people
.it. is estimated, crowded into < the
local skating rink last Friday even ■
ing, and went hoiiie well satisfied
after hearing and seeing an inter
esting and highly "entertaining pro
gram that hadn’t a drill hioment
during the hour and three quarters
that it lasted. And had it been a
pleasant summer, evening, the rink
- -would -not- have—held “them, Nis the
general., opinion.
Memories of the old Caledonian
gamps; were recalled by the old
timers/ as this traditionally {■Scot
tish stronghold, "once more 'was
swelled by a throng’that thrilled to
a program in J which the skirl o’ the
pipes and Scotch dancing, predoim
inateri. ■ .
. “Biit‘ the “Scotch numbers did not
.altogether—steal— the -show. There
were other, numbers equally, inter
esting that rounded ojft a well—ba!-:
anced program^ including selections
by . the combined IWlingham (and
Lucknow brass bands, tap dancing’
by Kenrieth. Crawford -of Wingham
and even a bit of Old Erin got work
ed into, the night’s performance, with
the-Jrish^Jig——---
Cameron Geddes announced the
numbers permitting no dragginess,
and keeping the performarice pepped
up "' throughout, with seyeral Scotch
jokes. The program got off to a good
istart with a couple of lively mafch-
^Jby^lip_conibined^ucknaw~^and-
Wingbam bands. The chairman,
called on “His Worship, The/Mayor,”
(A; W. Hamilton) who made a few
timely remarks. ' ------
Lorne McDonald played the bag
pipe accompaniment for .the local!
dancers; who were well trained by
Mrs. Culiis. The dances included the
Highland fling by a\ group of five,
Mary McKim, Jean Culbert, Reed
McKim; Dorothy Wpbb- andL/Murie^
Paterson; The Sailor’s Hornpipe, by
Etta Belle MacDonald,x Margaret

fling- by Mary McKim; the . Sailors
Hornpipe by Ann Van Wyck; the
Sword Dance by Jean Culbert and
Etta Belle McDonald; and several
well' stepped trip dances by Kenneth
Crawford of Wingham. f-
One of the features of the program
was an amusing Scotch reading by
Mrs. Van Wyck. Cameron Geddes
contributed a number .of solos, Ex
celling himself , in rendering “Annie
Laurie,” Mrs. Newton acted as ac-
cotnpanistA The "local Pipe Band, 10
strong took the stand to contribute
a couple of selections arid George
Mann, a former President of Luck-
-now^—gave a bagpipe selection. .
Expressions of appreciation by
Mr. Geddes and two selections by the
combined bands, with Bandmasters
Heyworth and .gchatte each con
ducting a number) brought a de
lightful program to a fitting close
as the audience ’rose to sing “Auld
Lang Syne” and “The Kirig”.
Throughout the program the art
ists were given a big hand as an
nounced and were roundly encored
by an appreeiatice audience as they
concluded their efforts: . a
Prior to the concert the inain
street was lined with-cars and spec
tators; to witness the parade of the
bands and the perforrners.
Due to the coolness of the evening
a dance in the Hall, took the place
of the advertised street dance, and
the crowd ,more than taxed the floor
spate, for the dances, to musics by
Art McCartney’s rind Roy McKen
zie’s orchestras. 1
NOTES ON THE 1 BIG NIGHT
le iransforriiation the rink took
°n f°r ^e “Gala Scottish Night”
was due a good deal to the untiring
efforts of dMr. G/ H., Smith, stated
Camerdn .Geddes, in publicly thank-/
ing Mr. Smith, at the conclusion of
Friday night’s qoncetti A spacious
platform was attractively surrounded
with flags and a monster “Hello
Sandy0, sign was strung across the
back. Comfortable seating was made
