WELL RECEIVED ,St. Paul's Sunday School Room Was ,Crowded to See A.Y.P. Present Play The Sunday School room of St, Paul's Church was filled to capacity .on Friday night when the A,Y,P.A. presented the three -act pl-ay "Chintz Cottage" which was not, only well staged and 'played but very much ap- preciated. Rev, E. L. Robert's, the rec- 'tor, gave a short synopsis of the play .by way of introduction, 'The stage presented a fine appear- ance, depicting the living room of a , -cottage which was tastefully decorat- ...ed with flowers. The walls were pap- ered with chintz and the hanging also, -.were chintz. The cost of characters were: Miss a Minty, Mrs. 5. R. M. Spittal; Her Aunt, Miss Tellington, Miss Ann. Ir- .ewin; Mr, Kant Bert Mitche,11; His son Peter, Joe Ellacott; His Daughter, ;Grace, Lillian Fuller; Housekeeper, Mrs. Dean, Miss B. Smalls The Maid; 'Fanny, Doris Fells; Director, Mrs. J. A. Wilson. ' The, story centred around a young lady from London, Eng.,ewho became bored with her soeial duties and de - tided to seek peace and quietness in the country. With her maid she ar- • rived at a village celled Meadowbank Where she occupied a cottage. Her :aunt followed her to Meadowbank be- lieving she had eloped with a Texan. Amusing complications arose when Peter, a young poet and neighbor, while investigating- the occupants of the cottage, was found unconscious :on the lawn. Minty and Fanny take him into the cottage anct while they looked for medicine to bring him to, he hides in a chest: Es'rentually Aunt Aggie finds him. there and believes him to be Bfinty's Texan husband.
