! musical comedy, oh oh! Cindy!"
produced by the John E. Rogers,
Company, under the personal direc-
ton of r. G.. Wood ana presented by
the Parent-Teachers' Association of
| st. Mary's school, was brought to an
end Saturday night, after a two-day
run in st. Mary's hall. Two evening
performances and one matinee con-
stituted the schedule for this city.
In every way the affair was a huge
success.
The final performance, like the
two previous ones, WAS played to a
packed house. In the afternoon on
Saturday, for the greater part,
! school children from all over the
city filled the monster hall at st.
Mary's school, although a number of
| grown-ups found their way through
1.-The long lanes of kiddies awaiting
| entrance at the school door long be-
fore the opening time.
"Oh! Oh! Cindy:" with its cast Of
locals, vas by far unlike the general
amateur show. Instead of a long,
drawn gu affair, it was just the OPP
posite and, although the numbers
fwere given ample time, the show
was put through in a mastery
manner.
Mrs. James K. Harkins, in the
titular role, was at her best vocally
on Saturday night. The support
! given her by every member of the
huge cast was nothing short of re-
! markable, taking into consideration
the limited time in which the play
was prepared.
The efforts of John Mcdonnell as
Robinson Crusoe, Arthur Scully as
! Friday, and John Triggs as Terrence
O'Hooligan, kept the audience in an
! Lproar every minute CT the time.
DIR. M. Claire Flaherty and Mrs.
Edward O'Connor, rendered very
pleasingly vocal numbers. Their Of
ierings were received with great out
bursts of applause by those in at
tendance.
Year in and year out, plays of all
descriptions are presented at st.
Mary's hall by the various stage or
~ganizations, Inc in every instance
they met with the instant approval
of h followers of the spoken art,
but from all accounts the Parent
Teachers Association have set a
pace that will be lard to follow for
q time.
