' The Town Hall was filled to cap- acity on Thursday and Friday night to witness the presentation of "A Bold Front" one of the best produc- tions 1 c tions that the citizens of the district have been privileged to see in many a day. The play was. presented under the auspices of the Chamber of Com- merce in aid of the X -Ray Fund and this fund will receive $153.20 for the proceeds of the play: For several weeks the cast of the play have been holding rehearsals un der the direction of . Clarence B. Arm itage,.and the laughter and applause that greeted their efforts on both Thursday and Friday night was a wonderful tribute and proved beyond doubt that the play as presented by the local cast, was most thorouhly enjoyed. The play, a two -act musical com- edy, is centred on a poor clerk, who broke into society,was mistaken for the son of a multi -millionaire, and got away with it by putting on . a bold front. The affair took place at a club at a summertime beach. The real son, a shy and shrinking youth, turns up in disguise to avoid revealing his identity, which is revealed by acci- dent, after he has fallen in love with the hostess, The clerk, known as Joe wins the hand of his lady love, and is rewarded for putting on a bold front by securing a place in her fa- ther's business. Almost every show has one star, but we can truthfully say that every member of the cast of "A Bold Front" was a star in the character they por- trayed. There was not one weak spot in the whole presentation and the producer, Mr. C. B. Armitage, and ev- ery member of the cast" and orchestra and all who in any, manner assisted, are deserving of greatest praise. On both nights between acts Ann VanWyck delighted the audience with an exhibition of dancing for which she is so well-known. On Friday night Mr. and Mrs, Ar- mitage were presented with a beauti- ful bouquet by the Chamber of Com- merce in appreciation of their efforts. Miss Tena Reid was also the recip- ient of a bouquet of mums from the rriembers of the cast in appreciation of her faithful service at the piano during the long period of rehearsals. The cast of characters: Lois Park- er, a college girl with a summer job, Mrs. Jack M. McKay; Priscilla Bod- kins, a social butterfly, Agnes Scott; Sam McGraw, a colored porter, Gor- don MacLean; Hainiton Webster, a leader in the financial world, Arthur Bishop; Mrs. Webster, his wife, Mrs. Reg. • DuVal; Jefferson Pembroke, a man of means from Wall Street, Dr. A. Irwin; Mrs. Pembroke, his wife, Doris Fells; Sally Pembroke, their daughter, Jean Christie; Joseph W. Reynolds (Joe) a young span with big ideas, J. R.

Walker, JUBILEE SINGERS ENTHRAL AUDIEN.cE Talented Group Under United Y.P.S. Auspices. The Carolina . Jubilee Singers gave the citizens of Wirighanr a real mus- ical treat on Monday evening in their. concert of negro spirituals, humorus readings 'and plantation melodies. The Jubilee Singers who were brought here under the auspices of the Young People's Society of the 'United Church delighted the audience which heard. them both in the concert Monday ev- ening and at the evening services on Sunday. Despite the" inclement weather there were about 300 present and these talented singers, if they return, will no doubt sing to a capacity aud- ience. Rev. L. H. Currie, pastor of the United Church, introduced the con- cert party which is appearing in Can- ada for the first time, and foretold the enjoyable evening in store for the audience. Mr. James A. Shaver, the manager of the singers, explained the program which , was given in three parts, The first portion of the pro- gram was devoted to negro spirituals in which all the members of the Jub- ilee Singers took part. The apprecia- tion of the audience for these early religious songs was expressed by the hearty applause which followed each. number. In the second portion of the pro- gram the artists sang solo numbers. James Stokes, first tenor of the sing- ers, Roma Russell, Basso, and Ernest- ine Llye, contralto, each sang two numbers. Daniel Davies, pianist, play- ed twice and James A Shaver brought a. laughable interlude with readings from the „works of Paul Dunbar, the negro poet. The male quartette, Jas. Shaver, Roma Russell, James Stokes and Daniel Davies, also brought hum- or to the program with their imita- tion of an aid -fashioned steam calli- ope. In the third and concluding por- tion of the program a, plantation scene was enacted. Old plantation melodies were sung and realism was added to the scene by the costumes and acting of those who took part. Those who heard the CarolinaJub- ilee Singers voted the concert one of the finest entertainments heard here in a long time and at the close of the' program hearty applause for the ar- tists signified how mucic the audience had enjoyed their work. The personell of the company was James A. Shaver, second tenor and manager; James Stokes, first tenor, Daniel Davies, baritone and accom- panist, Roma Russell, basso, Ernest- ine Lyle, contralto, and Alberta Pope, soprano.

The cold snap over the week -end has started the boys thinking hockey once more. Work has been started in the Arena and soon a big flock of hockeyists and would-be hockeyists of assorted shapes and sizes will be banging one another around the big Victoria St. enclosure. The recent soft spell hasn't lessen- ed the efforts of Murray "Pop" Johns- ton, who has lined .up a bunch of big clever boys who look like potential champs. The big gas and oil roan has eleven huskies signed up who wiIl av- erage 165 or 170 pounds, which is plenty heavy, Loren Zulauf, tee most experienced goalie in town, will guard the net, 'while Harold MitchelI, Jim Waine and Bill Bain, will put •up the detour sign out in front. The front line of Aridy Mitchell at centre, Ted Elliott on left wing and Lance Browne on right, looks like a winner, but you never can tell. Two red heads on one line spells plenty of trouble anyhow. Composing the reserve forwards are the stocky Andy Bell, Geo. Mason, Neil Carr (the lightest player on the team) and Frank Hopper. The last named gent is perhaps the fastest skater in town but his abilities as a hockey player are as yet unknown. The Stipertest; also claim to have signed Barney Browne, so the moguls already have some work on their hands. Better call in Frank Calder or Judge Landis, Doc. Howson & Co. will likely let out quite .a squawk if they lose Brownie., The Supertest will wear the orange and black unifornis the seniors wore last ' year.
