Francis, of London. For at full 2 hours, in song, dialogue, and act, there was presented a hum- orous and interesting representation of the life nfa new untnarriednlinister, While the picture was somewhat ere v overdrawn .h t t t as many a sly i e tin ustnt certain conditions that have been known to exist. The play was tve11 staged ; the chief characters specially suited to their parts ; solos and choruses sung in excellent man- ned and the various costumes fearfully and wonderfully constructed, present- ing a variegated present, past and future costuming and millinery dis- play that is beyond description. The audience gave an attentive hear- ing to the varied departments of the program and the talent did their re- spective parts with clearness of enun- ciation so that the theeud of the story could be followed without much trouble. There war many a laugh afforded as the plot was nnfolded but, like the modern story book, the last chapter brought to happy fruition satisfactory results, at least to the parson. Program opened with a choice piano solo by P, H. Mulheron, who also per- formed the onerous duty of accom- panist for the evening in a most ac• ceptable manner. A patriotic duet was nicely sung 'by Marjory and Bobs Campbell, in which a fancy drill was added by a score of dainty little lassies. After f remake t a few m tks by W. H. Kerr, Chairman, Messrs. Francis nod Gilroy rendered a duet in good voice and with this introduction fol- lowed the humorous comedy "The Now Minister." Space will not per- mit more than a passing comment on the talent, who well deserve hearty congratulations. The part of the parson was well per- sonated by Will. Cardiff in both dress and act, while Aliss Verne Walker, artlessly developed into the assistant horiiemaker, with a large number of "also rens." Miss Walker's solo was meieterioue. re. H, Gilroy as "Uncle Alex, the Sexton", would be hard to improve on and his songe and the choruses connected therewith deserv- ed the hearty applause received. The Choir folk with Jim Arnhetrong as Prof.T'opnote and conductor, per- formed beautifully, Miss Carrie Ring - sten rendering a fine sold in connec- tion therewith. A realistic played part was that of the Male Quartette Music Committee who bossed the job and whose 110111ee appear elsewhere.
