History of "The Rivals"

The test of good play is not only its
temporary popularity but also its en-
during hold on successive generations of
play.goers. "The Rivals" has outlived
nearly six generations; it has pleased the
critics eye and ear in two continents;
it has ever altered the English language
through the unique character of Mrs.
Malaprop Her Ingenious use of incor-
rect expressions, which, however, always
cleverly suggest the correct, has given us
the word malapropism. The PLAY has
received many alterations in its details
to suit individual actors, but the char
acters of Mrs. Malaprop, Bob Acres aud
Sir Anthony live unchanged.
The Rivals was first produced in Lon
don in 1775. In 1876 it was staged in
New York City, and ever since that time
has been before the American public.
Joseph Jefferson played in "The Rivals"
for more than twenty years. In 1896 he
toured the country in company with an
all-star cast, and played to houses aver
aging six thousand dollats a performance.

last Sunday morning, the audience in
Guiding former members and attendants
from Scotstown, Que, Rutland and Water

vicinity; yet there was sadness because
of the serious illness of some of the
workers.
Harold G. Patch was welcomed as
speaker in his home church pulpit. His
morning text was Luke 1870 "Be We
therefore ready Also" He told the stories
of The Rich Fool, The Prodigal Son, The
Rich Young Ruler, and The Good Sa-
marian, maintaining that the adnoniton
of the text is to be ready to live now our
daily lives to the glory of God and the
good of our fellowmen; then we will be
ready TO die, ready for the judgment, or
ready for the Christ's coming.
Questions: Are you running your life
just as you have mind to? How are
you using your time, talents. etc.? How
will your account balance? Get ready
now for the ideal life. You say you are
free from sin? Good,-bnt how did you
get freep Place your self righteousness
beside the righteousness of Christ and
compare. He alone can save and keep
from sin.
