BLYTH CHORAL SOCIETY`
SCORE A SUCCESS
Pleasing arrangement and 'complete
satisfaction reflected itself on Friday
night by the large attendance in the
Town Hall at the Dramatic Cantata,
"Joseph's Bondage," presented by the
Blyth Choral Society, The pageant
was splendidly staged, with elaborate
r
and appropriate : scenery, while the
different costumes added a decidedly
,dignified and pleasing spectacle. The:.
1,tale is one of the best known bible
stories, and of such interest to the
young that it never looses its power
and grip when years draw on
Jacob, the Patriarch,' lives in the
land of Canaan with his twelve sons,
who are shepherds. Joseph, second
youngest of these, about sixteen years
old is e dreamer of :wonderful things
and for his interpretation of these
,dreams is hated by his brethern. These
with Jacob's wives Zilpah and Bilhah,
,conspire to hill him, When Joseph
visits the shepherd's camp, his breth-
ren seize him, 'strip of his colored
.coat and cast him in a pit. Presently
they: sell him to some travelling Mid-
ianites, who in turn sell him in Egypt
to Potiphar, captain of the guard of
Pharaoh. Ten years later Joseph in
a trusted position as head of Poti-
phar's household, but, when fasely ac-
cused by Potiphar's wife, he is thrown
into prison. Here he is able to inter-
pret the dreams of his fellow/prison-
ers,
ellow/prison-vers, Pharaoh's butler and baker. .Two,
years later Pharaoh dreamed a dream
and the bufler advised him to sum-
mon Joseph. Joseph tells Pharaoh,
that seven years of plenty will come
followed by seven years of famine, and
;urges him to store up food during
.the plentiful years. Pharaoh appoints
•- Joseph Governor of Egypt, to have.
charge of this. The famine comes
• and spreads to Canaan. Driven by
hunger, ten of Joseph's brethren come
down to Egypt to buy food. Joseph
.at first sends then roughly away,
commanding them: not to return with-
out Benjamin, his brother. Soon they
returned again bringing Benjamin.
Joseph gives them a feast and during
the merriments reveals himself to his
,brethren, granting them full forgive-
.ness for their past 'cruelties to him.
Overjoyed, they hasten home and
,bring Jacob, their father down to Jos-
*eph. Pharaoh receives thein kindly and
,provides a home for thein in Egypt.

on a high pedestal of fame; While
there were many parts of special mer-
it, the duet, "Only Hear Me," by Jos-
eph and .Bilhah in second act, where
Bilhah used all a woman's charm and
entreaties to woo Joseph, proved one
of the high points of favor, through
the charming blending of their voices
and the dramatic effort evidenced.
Another warmly received duett was

Benjamin to, Egypt, while the respon-
