Two sisters, Mrs, D. McBride and “Whittlin’’ Presented by Bly th Talent Those ^present at the Town Hall here on Thursday evening of last week enjoyed a real treat when the Chautauqua play “Whittlin’’ was pre­ sented by members of the Blyth Dra­ matic Society under the auspices of the Wroxetei- Y.P.U. The story was most interesting, and depicted the sad plight of the Wilson family, whose son had been killed at war, and who were about to lose their home at the hands of a merciless landlord. It was made quite humorous in places by the friendly and easy-going Doctor Good, who really started something when on the suggestion of “Jimmie” the wan­ dering hobo, the former’s dolls, etc. (the result of his endless “whittlin’’) were really put to most valuable use when the manufacture of then! was turned into a thriving business to help pay up the interest and thus save the home. The story ended quite happily with the Doctor finally winning the widow Wilson as his much desired “Mrs. Good” and with the daughter, Ruth, and Jimmie, who was finally able to prove his parentage, also be­ ing assured of their future happiness, all much to the surprise and disgust of the scheming landlord. The char­ acters seemed particularly well chos- eh, and were all very well played by each member of ’ the cast, who are to be commended on their efforts.
