the ball given in celebration Of the
Battle of Waterloo. Here it. was
that the rivalry between Lieutenant
Spicer, Ensign Blades and Captain
Brown was shown. 1t was also here
that Capt. Brown revealed to the
supposed Miss Livvy, his love for
Miss Phoebe. The pavilion was
beautifully decorated with Japanese
lanterns. Even the moon shone
from among the trees.
1t was in the blue and white room
of ten years before, in the next act,
that Capt. Brown really persr a led
Miss Phoebe that he was not a
"quizz."
Some excellent work was done by
the members of the cast. Dorothy
Taggart, who interpreted the part
of Miss Phoebe, was bewitching.
Her change from Miss Phoebe Of the
ringlets to Miss Phoebe, the school
teacher. was a clever bit of acting.
Margaret. Schrankel interpreted,
alphabetically, the part of Miss
Susan. Alvin Catew, as Captain
Brown, presented a really dashing
appearance and did some very fine
character work.
Nina Tubbs, Freda Blomholm and
ANNA Howalt were very quaint and
charming old maids of Quality Street.
The following members Of the
cast gave admirable support to the
stars: Margaret Bender, as Char
lotta Parrat; Philip Snodgrass, as
Ensign Blades; Julia Anderson, as
the maid; Athol Moynihan, as the
sergeant; Leon Dean, as Lieutenant
Spicer and Guy Smith, as the old
soldier.
Eight of the grade children took
the parts of the scholars in Miss
Phoebe's school. Their English
quadrille was very pretty. Leonard
Collins, as uncomfortable George;
Genevieve Stewart, as Isabella, who
wanted to acquire algebra; Henry
Peterson, as William, who disputed
Miss Susan; and Edward O'Connor
as Arthur, the Ounce, took their
parts well.
The costumes, rich in color and
quaint in design. helped the audience
visualize the days Of Napoleon.
The play was proclaimed grand
success. Credit for the success of
the play is due Miss Schlosser, who
trained the players.
