safe, and at noon todaYwas about 80
miles east of Ambrose 1ightship. This
information came to the naval COM

Identity of the ship sending out the
S. o. S. call therefore becomes mys-

that Identifying letters in the mes

A distress call from the steamship

however, that she might have sent

The compass control radio placed
the position of the first call at $50

Dramatic Society

The seating capacity of the Angus

success by the host of people who
are accustomed to express their opin-
ions of performance as they 60
slowly down the stairs Of the opera
house. They are the ones best quail
fed to judge, as it is they who have
seen the play.
! The play itself was a dramatization
Of Tennyson's poem by the same
name and called for a dignified, seri-
Gus style of acting of a sort not often
attempted by amateurs. Miss Jessie
Carr had the title role and really gave

and fear the stern will of her uncle,

central figure about whom swirled g
twisted maze of unfortunate and M

Carr, was figure to command SYM

Mr.. Weber himself played the part
CT the austere uncle, his sternness
being tempered with qaiunt vein of
hC:1fr which he used with telling e.
f-ct. He was GREETED with hearty an
pla"se at his first appearance and rhe
portrayal he gave was interesting
throughout.
Mrs. Ida Hersey played the only
other feminine role, that of rival to
Dora and had opportunity to redeem
herself from that unfortunate posi-

her before the final curtain. Ralph
Brown as the son with q will as

the aardent and perpetual lover were
very good in their positions: Louis
Carlton as Jen Blunt. the facnier's
hired man, demonstrated that lie
could get around as slowly as a hired
man ever did. but that he also couIl
come to life on occasion. Dorothy
