thne that a R.y.thrri Bend has appear-
ed before a ,,Wirigham aduience and
the manner with which these little tots

time. .

An Operetta
The second part of the program was
the operetta "Under the Sugar Plum
Tree." The children from the rooms
of Miss Mahood, Miss Joynt and Miss
MacDonald, made up the caste.
The story of this interesting little
presentation was, some children were
playing thethe woods gathering sugar
Plums when epute'hunters came along
looking for • the "Squidicum Squees"
(goblins) which they could not find
anywhere, Several hunting lasses also
arrived .upon the 'scene loPking for
the- fairies and the children asked
these hunting people to stay,and'par-
take of their picnic as some person
mighthave seen the fairies and the
equidicum scruees and .be able to tell

CAROLINA SINGERS
AGAIN ENJOYED
These Colored Singers Gave Splendid
Presentations of Spirituals and
Plantation Singing.
The Carolina Jubilee Singers, the
talented negro group that delighted a
Wingham United Church audience last
December, presented a • second and
equally pleasing concert at the Unit-
ed Church on Monday under the aus-
pices of the Young People's Society.
The fact that the prograrn was almost
entirely a repetition of their Decem-
ber concert seemed not to lessen the
aduience's pleasure.
The first part of the program com-
prised about a dozen spirituals and
jubilee songs. Tri these they excelled.
The appeal of negro singing lies chief-
ly in the blending of their voices in
these crooned spiritual melodies and
in the more exultant and joyous songs
of religion. The big but well control-
led voice of Roma Russell w:is a fine
4.thundation in these songs.
In the second part the several
members of the sextet gave solo
numbers. These negro entertainers
have their full share of the humor
that characterizes their race. In their
imitation of the circus calliope the
male quartette sent the audience into
paroxysms of laughter.
The singers appeared for the last
group of songs dressed in the garb
of humble plantation folk. Perhaps
their singing of "Sleep, Kentucky
Babe" was the number most favored
by the audience. It was exceedingly
well done. "Swing Along" and "Old
Black Joe" were also very popular.

In the first place, the picture was
produced by a British company, Gan-
mont, in Berlin, under the direction
of a Russian, Anatole Litevalc. Most
of the exteriors were photographed
by German cameramen on locations
in Switierland, while the interiors
were made at the Berlin studios of
Ufa, with a cast headed by Kiepura,
who is Polish, and Magda Schneider,
a bewitching German girl. Sonnie

SPLENDID TALK
•
Miss E. Mitchell, Travelling Secre-
tary for W.M.S., Guest Speaker.
The Women's Missionary Society
of Wingham United Church held a
very succes.,ful Easter Thank -Offer-
ing meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
Scripture was taken by Rev. L. H:
Currie, from Jr1i5 20: 1-18, This les-
son was very appropriate and Mr.
.Currie emphasized the place of wo-
men in the life of Jesus then and now.
Wonien were the last to leave the
cross and the first to reach tlie tonib
and the first Easter SCTM0n was giv-
en by Mary "I have seen the Lord."
The guest speaker was Miss. Evelyn
Mitchell„, travelling secretary for the
W.M.S., who kept the audience in-
tensely interested while she gave vivid
descriptions of the suffering and want
she had seen in the lonely fishing vil-
lages of Newfoundland, in the poor
sections of Mottreal and Toronto, in
the .camps of Northern Ontario, in
the dried -out areas of Saskatchewan,
and - among the new Canadine in: Al-
berta. She thee told how the work
of the W. M. S. had brought a por-
tion of assistance to these stiffererSs
but how great the need still is. As
an instance of the success of the work
she told that one of the Members of
Parliament at Ottawa was, as a bey,
trained in one of the united Cherch
Mission Schools in the West, She al-
so depicted the work' done by the
Mission Hospitals healing the bodies:
and souts.of those who pass through
their doors. A pleasing feature was
the presentation of an honorary life
memberehip in the W.M.S. to .Rev,
T,, H. Currie, this being the gift of
Mrs. Currie and was presented with
a few apprortriate words by Mrs. E.
R, Howson. Two solos 'rile City
