More than thirty local peo- ple are ,concerned with this sea- son's first production "Angel Street" by Patrick Hamilton. Gwen Whilsmith, president of the Guild, is directing the play which is to be staged in the high school on Nov. 1 and 2. Tickets are on sale at W. G. Cochrane's and Choose Book Store. A Victorian thriller in three acts, the play is of considerable interest. It tells the dramatic story of the Manningham's of An- gel Street. Under the guise of kindliness, handsome Mr. Man- ningham (played by Bill Coch- rane) is torturing his wife (Marg. Dilkes) into insanity. He accuses her of petty aberrations that he has arranged himself; and since her mother died of insanity, she is more than half convinced that SHDHS Barents' Night Thursday, October 13 7:30 to 9:30 Do you know the teachers who are entrusted with the instruction of your boy or girl?

While her diabolical husband is out of the house, a benign po- lice inspector (Frank Wildfong) visits her and ultimately proves to her that her husband is a maniacal criminal suspected of a murder committed 15 years ago in the same house, and that he is preparing to dispose •of her. Then starts the game of trying to un- cover the necessary evidence against Mr. Manningham. It is a thrilling and exciting melodra- matic game complicated by the maid (Ada Dinney) and bhe housekeeper (Edna .Glaab). The Guild's plans for the win- ter include two more three -act plays as well as the one -act play festival which was so successful- ly inaugurated last winter. An open meeting is :to be held on Nov. 1 • in the council oham- bers .for the reception of new members. Anyone who is inter- ested in drama is encouraged to attend on that date. Discovers Collie Far From Home An Exeter bread salesman and his Scotch collie were reunited miles away from home last week after a two-year separation. Bob Denonune found his "Las- sie" in a bush near Bayfield with her five pups. No one had been able to get near the dog until he came along with some bread for it. The salesman, who lives in Exe- ter north, gave the dog to his brother-in-law near Mount Car- mel two years ago but she ran away. When her . master was making his rounds at Egerton Beach, near Bayfield, last week -end, a family told himabout this collie in the woods. Then came the hap- py reunion. The pups have all been placed and the dog is happy at home again.' Edwin N. Winer Dies In California Edward N. Winer 64 • son of Mrs. W. E.
