“LIGHTHOUSE NAN”
WELL RECEIVED
Crowded Hall Greeted Goderich
„ Players.
The Town Hall was filled to cap
acity on Tuesday evening to witness
the presentation of “Lighthouse Nan”
by the Victoria Players of Goderich
under the auspices of the local Fire
Department. This is the third time
that the Victoria Players have staged
a play here and each time they have
delighted the audience.
Nan was a little roustabout girl
who lived with her supposed grand
parents at a lighthouse on the Caro
line Coast. City people whose motor
boat broke down were forced to spend
some time at the lighthouse, and Hon.
John Enlow took a paternal interest
in Nan and sent her to boarding
school. Nan turns out to be his dau
ghter who was kidnapped years before
and everything turns out splendidly
for her. It was a very pleasing plot
and the cast portrayed the various
characters in a delightful manner.
Between the acts the audience were
entertained by two tap dancers, Miss
M. Kelly and Miss Ruth Solman of
Stratford, and Miss L. Griff of God
erich, soloist. *
Reeve F. L. Davidson on behalf of
the Firemen, thanked the citizens for
their splendid attendance and the
Goderich cast for presenting their
play here.

League will be held in Kincardine oh
Thursday night this week. W. H.
Gurney and Jim Murray will repre

There has been considerable agita*

in this league this year, so it will not
be known until after the meeting just

for this year. Kincardine is anxious
to have only Bruce County teams in
the league but it is doubtful if any
change will be made according to
some rumors.
