tributed among' students and others,

ed to capacity on Friday night when
the Durham A.Y.P.A. presented the
play "Am I Intrdeing" under the aus-

occasions given this play and have
gained a fine reputation in this field
and the local society were indeed for-
tunate that they secured their serv-
ices. The play exceeded the advance
notices whichstated that the audi-
ence would be greatly delighted with
the performance.
The play was of a very humorous
nature and the actors succeeded in
keeping the, audience in fits of laugh-
ter. The plot was very complicated
and kept all guessing as to the real
identity of "Jerry" around whom the
play centered.
This play was so well appreciated
by the audience that the local A. Y.
P. A. have made arrangements for
another play "The Path `-Across the
Hill" to be given her later in May
by the Trinity Dramatic Club of
Blyth. Watch for further notice of
