"The Servant in the House"

Do not forget the production of Ser
want in the House" at the Municipal
Theatre, May 18th. The opportunity to
witness such strong and instructive
play should not be neglected. Its les
sons are plain, forceful and helpful.
The plays entire action takes place
one spring morning at an English coun-
try vicarage. The seven characters are
well drawn-the worldly Bishop, the
Vicar. the Wears wife, Mary, their
neice, the Drain-M Man, the Page boy and
Manson, the servant, are masterpieces.
Alan Dale. the critic, writing of this
play said Through its subtitle ways
the idea that the central figure in "The
Servant in the House" is intended to be
taken by the audience as the re-incar.
nation of Christ, is suggested by the
author, Chas. Ram Kennedy. Really
this character, who is known as Man.
son, is the great Bishop of Benares
working in his brothers. house in the
guise Of an Oriental servant, though
the dialogue at times refers in an in
direct way to his presumably divine
origin. Some or our greatest writer
who have witnessed the play, claim Il
have caught feeting glimpse Of Chris
in "The Servant in the House"

Mrs. Priestley, the daughter of Mr..

Mineral Point on the 18th of January,
1S45. From the time she had learned
to articulate and prattle about she was
the sunshine and joy of all with whom
| she came in contact, and this splendid
endowment by her Creator abided with
her necessarily. Her lot, evidently,
was to cheer and comfort others. She
went through life strewing flowers in
the pathway of all mankind Lived to
make herself agreeable and others
happy qualities which drew host of
friends to her, many of whom as last
mark of respect lavished flowers on
her casket

of strong personality, full of spirit,
gentle, and cultured of speech and
music. OF these she gave in a gener-

of Pearce and Honore Hoskins. The
place of his birth is one of the historic
places of North America, especially in
