'THE LUCKY EMERALD'
The play "The Lucky Emerald"
presented in the Town Hall on Friday
evening by members of the United
Church Y,P.S,, was . 'quite a success,
and was much enjoyed by a large
audience. The caste and directors,
Who have for the past few weeks,
spent mutts time and effort in prepar-
ation, are to be congratulated ttpon
their success. The cast was compos-
ed of Misses Lenora Higgins as
(Mauyra), Jean Sangster (Nora),:
Marjory Paulin (Dicrdre), Irene Rob-
inson (Sheila), Kate Wailer (Cath-
leen) and Mary Pope (Bridget), and
Messrs. Joe Higgins as (Fergus),
Stuart Higgins (Lord of Derryver-
agh), Robert Paulin (Larry O'Leary)
and Robert Ferguson (Mike). The
directors were Misses Mary Gibson'
and Margaret Wright. The setting for
the play was an old estate in .Ireland,
owned by the eccentric old lord of
Derryveragh, who loved to dominate
everyone and everything, but wilts
gradually but finally was won over
by the charms of his lively Irish
American grand -daughter Cathleen,
who was also the emaps 01 restor-
ing lost youth and charms to Maurya.,
his old maid sister, who won back
her old lover, Fergus. Cathleen also
induced her grandfather to shelter a
stranger who had ben overtaken by •
the storm, who later proved to be
Larry O'].eary, the heir to the neigh-
bouring estate, who finally found the
lost emerald. In. the Meantime the
treachery of Deirdre, who had been
scheming against Cathleen, had becu,
discovered, but the play finally ended
happily by Lord Derryvedagh con-
senting
onsenting to the marriage of Cathleen
and Larry and settling the elnnity be-
tween the O'Leary's and the Derry-
veraghs. The characters of Nora and
Bridget, both maids at the Derry-
veragh estate ,and of Mike ,a servant
of Larry O'Leary added humorous
touches to tite story, while that of
Sheila proved a sort of prophetess.
Musicalselections were offered by
Miss Minerva Higgins and the Gibson

organ, and tite vocal duets by MN.

'THE LUCKY EMERALD'
The play "The Lucky Emerald"
presented in the Town Hall on Friday
evening by members of the United
Church Y,P.S,, was . 'quite a success,
and was much enjoyed by a large
audience. The caste and directors,
Who have for the past few weeks,
spent mutts time and effort in prepar-
ation, are to be congratulated ttpon
their success. The cast was compos-
ed of Misses Lenora Higgins as
(Mauyra), Jean Sangster (Nora),:
Marjory Paulin (Dicrdre), Irene Rob-
inson (Sheila), Kate Wailer (Cath-
leen) and Mary Pope (Bridget), and
Messrs. Joe Higgins as (Fergus),
Stuart Higgins (Lord of Derryver-
agh), Robert Paulin (Larry O'Leary)
and Robert Ferguson (Mike). The
directors were Misses Mary Gibson'
and Margaret Wright. The setting for
the play was an old estate in .Ireland,
owned by the eccentric old lord of
Derryveragh, who loved to dominate
everyone and everything, but wilts
gradually but finally was won over
by the charms of his lively Irish
American grand -daughter Cathleen,
who was also the emaps 01 restor-
ing lost youth and charms to Maurya.,
his old maid sister, who won back
her old lover, Fergus. Cathleen also
induced her grandfather to shelter a
stranger who had ben overtaken by •
the storm, who later proved to be
Larry O'].eary, the heir to the neigh-
bouring estate, who finally found the
lost emerald. In. the Meantime the
treachery of Deirdre, who had been
scheming against Cathleen, had becu,
discovered, but the play finally ended
happily by Lord Derryvedagh con-
senting
onsenting to the marriage of Cathleen
and Larry and settling the elnnity be-
tween the O'Leary's and the Derry-
veraghs. The characters of Nora and
Bridget, both maids at the Derry-
veragh estate ,and of Mike ,a servant
of Larry O'Leary added humorous
touches to tite story, while that of
Sheila proved a sort of prophetess.
Musicalselections were offered by
Miss Minerva Higgins and the Gibson
Brothers with guitar, piano and mouth-
organ, and tite vocal duets by MN.
