DRAMATIC CLUB GAINS
SOME NEW LAURELS

The Dramatic club OF All Saints

former years, with Shamrock and

Kelly, with the Hammond four and the
boys of All Saints, who appeared be-

interlude, and added materially to the

without attempting TO detract from
the honors which the cast in the play

selves at last nights performance, it
might be truthfuily stated that the
play as a whole is too heavy for home
talent which appears In public only
once or twice year. The results that
were attained We're possible only be-
cause of the previous experience of
most Of the players. and the patient
work of James Martin, the instructor.
Nothing professional was expected, and
therefore the audience, which was gem
erous in its applause, was not over
| critical when the players at times lack

ed They were well sustained by the
lines of the play. however. as sham

ment that in the performance of last
night that d. s. O'Connor, in the role
of Barney OBrady, an Irish Boucbal,
easily deserved first honors. But 1T
should also be borne In mind that he
mad the best lines. Leo Engleton, Mrs.
w. G. Murphy and the Misses Sarah
Price and Margaret Mason also succeed
ed very well in getting their lines
across the footlights. While Ray

George Kingston and A. O'Rourke made
good appearance. their lines did not
permit them the versatility OF charac-

joyed.
Every seat in the theatre was occu-
pied. the inclement weather having
failed to act deterrent to the loval
supporters of the All Saints Dramatic
club. For some reason many Of the
spectators were late in arriving, thus
causing considerable inconvenience to
those who desired to follow the story

again and responded generously to the
music by Miss Genevieve Hastings
The school boys of All Saints parish
in song and drill numbers were q
source of constant delight as long as
they were on the stage. They were
masterfully drilled and took down the
house with applause.
