1 / ' . I
Royalty Play Is Well Presented For
The Entertainment Of A Large
Audience
Once again, St~Peter’S Dramatic
Society delighted the community in
theirt very clever presentation of the.
comedy “Enter the : Prodigal” which
they presented iri the Town Hall on
Friday evening last.
The setting of the play was in the
Walter’s home in the town of Luck
now and presented the typical char
acters of the home. In the mother,
Mrs. Walters was depicted the char
acter of,, the average mothet, whose
thoughts, (hopes and 16ve were cen
tred on her family, ■ whose one
thought was their success, good
health and happiness^ Mrs. Hassall,’
who portrayed this Character. .de-_
lighted the audience with the excel
lency/of her acting. Rev. J. Geog-
hegari played the part of John Wal
ters, the father, whb was a retired
mOwSpaper man, very slow and delib
erate in all. his actions, very proud
of his sons and daughter, but also
determined they shouldn’t know it.
The family thought him rather slow
but where he wanted action he ^ot
it from the whole family. The family
consisted of three children, Ernest,
Melvin Johnston, the eldest, who
“loved responsibility” and who took
life and his job a trifle too Seriously
to suit"his father or brother William;
Ma%& Eileen/ Johnstone, the only
daughter,, who was clerk in' the Fair
Department Store, and William, Hugh
Gumirig, also a newspaper man, who
has the happy faculty of getting
fired from jobs frequently, but always
finding new ones too. . Mrs. Haley.
Ma4ud . Cook, is a typical gossipy,
neighbor, who runs in to.borrow and
seek -favoVfi^Mr<--WellsT- GeorgeHas-
Sall is Ernest’s employer, and rather
excitable? and irritable. Betty Reid,
Dorothy Cook, is the carefully reared
daughter of a neighbor, who is
in lpve with William and also
ested in music.
