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.
