FESTIVAL AT TRINITY

Arrangements have been completed
for an open air dramatic festival by
the famous Ben Greet Players in

on Saturday, May 18th.
This announcement will undoubt-
eddy be the source of much pleas
ureable anticipation to a large part
Of the community and many people
from neighboring places, as we'll.
The idea of such a dramatic fes-
tival is quite original with Ben
Greet, who has been doing it in
England from time to time for over
q quarter of a century.
1t is a happy circumstanc that the
weather in this country is particu-
larry suited to open air plays. In
May it is never too hot in the day
time, and in the evenings the condi-
tons are ideal.
