"THE (CHRONIC KICKER"
The play in three acts, "A. Chronic
Meter,' was put on in the town hall
on Tharsday evening last before a
full house. The play was -gotten up
by the members of the Women's In-
stitete and the ladies, some young
and some not so young, all did their
parts well.
The play itself centred around a
Community House, which was man-
aged by a numberof energetic and
public-spriited women for the good
of the community. A. lady, Mis.'
Iiandbridge, (Doris Miller), who had,
come comparatively reeently, had
worked herself into the position of
business manager of the House and
another =member, Mrs Goudy, (Miss
IL Livermore) had begun to he very
suspicious that the money coming in
whs not handled honestly and did not
hesitate to call for an accounting.
°
She made herself so obnoxious at
last that she was asked to .resign
from the club and when she wouldn't.
do it, was expelled. She stuck to her
guns, however, and at last was justi-
fied.
Mrs. O.1, paisley made a very
realistic "Old Lady" , as iGrandma
Larkin; Misses Lillian Manning and
Elnora Mcinneswere a couple of
flappers, who were glad to hear that
their mothers were not such milk
end water girls its their own youth;
Miss Virginia Bozell took the part
of Cleo, the maid, in her usual finish-
ed style; Misses Janet Taylor and
Eva Gilbert were two frivolous young
ladies; Miss Carol Evans was a my-
sterious young lady,who later turn-
ed out to be a ladydetective; Mrs. C.
V. 'Cooke, Mrs. ,O'Brien, Mrs, M.
Jobnston, - Mr's. H. Ford, Mit. ?him
Rozelt' and IVliss Agnes Cameron were
all members of the Community House
Club and more or less active and im-
portant in It. • -Miss Clara Harrison
was a member of the police force,
who came in at the end to aceom-
plish the arrest of the scheming lady
who was planning to rob the House
of its funds.
The lady detective recognized the
business manager, as a crook, and
pretended to "her that She was her-
self a member of a gang, and being:
seen to talk to her in a confidential
manner by Mrs Goudy was supposed
by that: lady to be another crook. But
it all turns out right when in the
end the shady lady is trying to rob
the safe and is caught in the act by
the detective lady and 'her assistant,
Cleo, who had been dismissed from
the Community House and had been
taken on 'by her And a number of
valuables test from Community
House are found in the apartment of
the business manager. Mrs. Goudy
was inatthe death, too, although
she had been held up at the point
of a gun and shut into a cupboard.
But her astuteness was commended
and the ladies apologized for their
blindness in not paying more atten-
tion to her suspicions. Miss' Liver-
more" having a heavy part with a
great many lines), interpreted the.
role in a masterly manner, and each
of the ladies did her part well.
Mr. W1. S. R. Holmes thanked the
audience for their attendance and in-
troduced the players before the cur-
tain went up and • between acts a dou-
ble 'quaiitette from the Collegiate
contributed some songs, which were,
appreciated, and Mr. Tom, Cook gave
a cornet selection, which was heart-
ilyencored. Mrs. Morgan Agnew
played his accompaniment, and
Mrs. Perdue played the National An-
them at the conclusion.
A few weeks ago we had a play,
put on by a Winghatncaste, entirely
by men. Here was a play put on en-
tirely by women, and it cannot but, be
admitted that in each case the. result
Was satisfactory.
