YOUNG PEOPLES EN-
TERT A|NMENT SUCCESS
Geo. F. Curtis, Mitchell Brothers
and Local Talent Please
Large Audience.

Despite the unfavorable weather
conditions a large number of persons
attended the entertainment given un-
der the auspices of the Young Peo-
pies Society of the Union Church of
Palisade at Carney Hall Tuesday
night.
At the opening of the performance
Mrs Ernest Sibley announced that
Mr.. Bohlig, who was to take the part
of Captain Chivic in the playlet,
Uncle Jasper" was taken suddenly
i'll at his office during the day and
it was impossible for him to appear.
However, Mr.. Walter Barklage, lead
ing man in the other playlet, Tanning
the Flapper," had agreed to take the
part although he had not seen line
of the manuscript prior to three
O'Clock that same afternoon.
The play proceeded and Mr.. Bark
lage acted the part so we'll one would
not have suspected it was entirely I'M
rehearsed as far as he was concerned
Miss Maxine Sibley as Leila Graham,
fiancee of Captain Chivis, performed
remarkably well and with all the fin
ish of true professional. Mr. Wal
lace Mcdonald interpreted the part
of Detective Sanders in most natu-
raj and creditable manner. OF course
Uncle Jasper was the leading char
acter. Mr.. Curtis himself took this
role and too much cannot be said in
praise of his work.
Following the playlet the Mitchell
Brothers occupied the platform and
entertained with their banjos They
made the hit of the evening, judging
from the applause which demanded
many encores. The two boys seemed
to have an inexhaustible supply of
selections. They also sang a number
of songs.
The playlet, Tanning the Flapper"
kept the audience ripping with laugh
ter. Miss Laure Marcus as the FLAP
per-" showed exceptional talent and
her personality captivated the spec
tators who applauded several times
during the course of the play Mr..
Barklage as Daniel McAdam Was
charmingly natural and played the
part as few amateurs could play it.
To use an old phrase which is fit
ting indeed, last but not least on the
program Mr. Curtis appeared in orig
inal dialect stories and character i'm
presentations. All of his stories and
poems were thoroughly enjoyed and
everyone was sorry when his part of
the program came to a close.
Much credit is due Mrs. Sibley for
her untiring efforts which never lack
ed an ounce of enthusiasm from the
birth of the idea to the final curtain
on Tuesday night and there is still
much to be done.
The program of fifty-two pages was
a work of art and it can be safely
said no program of any local affair
has ever equaled it in any particular.
