On Friday evening the Fordwieh
Community Club ,presented the play,
"Shamrock and Rose," rho a full house.
The play is a ramnntis drama of Irish
'life during the rebellion off'98 and was
.presented in a way that was a credit to
every actor who took part, Miss Hilda
Ashton and Gerald Gray, who played
!Ilene and Barney in the comedy act,
kept the audienge convulsed with
laughter, as also did J.. Winter as Shaun
-Carey, the spy, while those who play-
ed the drama and tragedy held the
audience spellbound. It is, however,
almost unfair to 'mention any one
character more than another, as every
part was played so well. The Ford-
tiwach Community Association• should
feel proud to know ,th
at they have a
'community of young people who are
so talented and are willing to use their
'talents for the good of the community.
The proceeds, we understand, were
donated to tele rink •fund.
