a much closer relationship, if such
could be possible, between the two
organizations and the gavel pre-
sented was a token of the esteem and
friendship which Fidelity Lodge held
for the members of Victory Chapter.
Worthy Matron, Mrs. Marguerite
Phippeny replied on behalf of the
chapter, thanking the members of
Fidelity Lodge in a charming speech |
for the gift which was, she said, a
complete surprise. She expressed a
desire on behalf of the chapter that
many such gatherings of a social
character should be arranged and
that the Masons would call upon
them for any help or aid needed to
make such affairs successful or to
help them in any work in which they
might be able to accomplish some
thing worth while for mutual benefit
and uplift.
A clever reading was given by H.
C, Geer. who was introduced by the
chairman as being extremely versa
tile, an actor, a reader, barber, but
who yet had not accomplished the
art of running his Ford coupe on
three wheels.
The worshipful mastor was then
called upon for Masonic talk. He
delivered very pleasing address on
the origin of the Masonic order and
Order of Eastern Star, tracing the
history of each back to their begin
ming.
The next item on the program was
a. one-act comedy under the direction
of DR.. G. G. Verbryck, entitled "The
Fatal Necklace" The chairman in
announcing this number told his
hearers that they should be particu-
larly lionored at having the oppor-
tunity of hearing this dramatic work
of art by the talented company of
actors. composed of members of FL
delity Lodge. He said that this Won
derful drama had not yet been pre-
sented in Hammett, King Hill or Re-
verse and that he was sure that they
would enjoy it.
The cast was as follows:
The Heroine 81 Am Innocent" TAX
en- by Harold Hartman, whose voice
and makeup made it hard for those
present to realize that it was not
woman. He was the star and looked
it.
The Hero, "Unhand Her, Coward,
by G.. o. Phippeny, whose actions
in the love scene were all that could
be desired of such a hero. He hugged
the heroine pretty near to death most
all the time and was busy saving
her from the villain between hugs. p
