week, and was an unquail1led sue
cess in all respects. About 125 To-
cal people were in the cast, and
they had been rehearsing for two
weeks under the direction OF Mr..
MAYO. On both evenings the hall
was we'll filled and the audiences
on both nights were greatly pleas
ed with the performance, and the
array of musical ,historinic and
other dramatic talent shown by
the Lyndonville young people. Ma
sic was furnished for the comedy
by Richards Orchestra of ST.
Johnsbury.
The comedy has verv igat
plot turning on the efforts of Mrs.
Bowser newly married and of un-
certain age, to conceal from her
husband the fact that she has 4
grown up and very attractive
daughter by a former marriage.
On this foundation light and fan
tastic play was built up, the de-
ception involving most of the prin-
cipal characters, and the plot serv-
ed up with a sauce of choruses,
songs and dances, designed to add
variety and interest.
Ray Wells and Edith Lewsey a.
the husband and wife, Mayed their
parts to perfection and We're ably
seconded by Mrs. Daniel Greg
ory and Arthur Cleary, as the hen.
pecked husband and domineering
wife. parts taken by Mr.. and Mrs.
Meekman. Ray Keyser as Travi
Dale the hero, and Mrs. Ralph

daughter and "Some Girl" We're a
most attractive and musical pair
of lovers and their songs were one
of the finest parts of the program.
The Rev. W. J. MacFarlane as
Prof. Maltby, the middle-aged and
amorous, was certainly a star
performer and can he sure of find
ing a job on the stage if Metho-
dist ministers salaries are ever cut
any lower. Maurice Coomer as
Tim, the ubiquitous bell-hop wlt.i
palm always itching for tip, was
an excellent representative of his
type. Dances and songs were
built around the acting and in
trgues of the foregoing principal
characters.
The costumes were most beauti-
full, and the lighting effects
brought out the color combina-
tons to the best advantage. Space
will not allow US . mestion all
the characters, but they included a
larger number of the young men
and girls as well as many smaller
girls and boys, and some who were
just making their first public APP
pearance.

dancing which were repeatedly
encored. a solo, "Love, Honor
and Oh Baby, by Mr.. Keyser and
chorus of girls made up of Miss
es Dahlbeck, Libbey, Haskell,

well done. A duet "Doggone Dan
