Hall on Friday night, when members of the Young People's Union of the United Church, present- ed the Three Act Comedy, "The Blue Bag," Rev. U. E. Cronhielm welcom- ed the audience and persented the cast of eleven, and their coach, Mr. G. A. Wearring, who with the assistance of Mr. Cronhielm directed the play. The story is built around. a certain Blue Bag, in which were valuable stolen Jewels. Supposed to be carried by a young lady. Anton MacDonald (Calvin Moffat) and his chauffeur, George Reynolds (Lloyd Townsend) were hunting the blue bag on a wager, Allen Ross (Robert Cunningham) and Enid Lawton (Gilberta Howes) eloping, were in searchof the blue bag as were Jim Keefer (Scott Hun- ter) and Molly Keefer (June Felker), Obadiah Macklyn and his wife, Chindy (George Dobson and Thelma Denny) ran the hotel with Chattanooga Elvira Livermore. (Chatty) the maid played by (Edythe Weir). Their Hotel Lobby provided the setting for the three acts, with 2 scenes hr the final act. The mystery deepend when the three lady guests at the hotel each carried a blue hand bag. (Chatty) the maid not to be outdone appeared with a blue bag, much larger than any of the others. The climax came when,, the Canadian Customs Officer, Bill, Harrington (Arthur Gibson) came to the hotel in ( search of the lost jewels, only to find them in the 'blue bay carried by his !fiance, Letty Song, the actre'ss played lby (Margaret Moffat). Two/weddings and the fact of two hand bags being exchanged at the customs office solved the mystery and brought a happy end- ing. The play showed careful preparation and was well presented. Each mem- ber of the cast was a star. Between acts Margaret Wearring and Jean Moffat favored with vocal duets, Miss Mary Gibson at the piano. The Council 'met in the Township Hall on.
