'CATAND CANARY
WELL ACTED AND
CROWD is PLEASED

"The Cat any the Canary" drew a
full house at Grantland Saturday
night. While tastes vary as to lik-
ing the type of show all agree that it
was extremely well acted.
The dominant note of the play is
horror and impending disaster. The
audience feels that something is go
ing to happen and that something will
be of the nature of stab in the dark.
1t is soon easily seen that all the
trouble revolves around the head OF
Annabelle West, played by Helen
Maven, who inherits the house and
fortune of an eccentric uncle. This
was one of those 900 years before"
kind of plays, where important events
transpire before the curtain rises.
The old uncle dies and leaves will.
The will directs that 20 years after
the night of his death the contents
shall be made known. When the night
comes all the heirs, five in number,
are present at the old house. Then
trouble starts.
An old servant, Nanny Pleasant, is
native of the West Indies. She is
anything but pleasant. In fact the OLD
woman begins hanging crepe the min
ute the curtain goes up. She keeps II
up all through the play making cold
chilIs chase each other UP and down
the audiences back.
Roger Crosby, family lawyer,
reads the will and is pulled through
wall and killed. Just how is not
learned. Anyhow he makes his sec
ond appearance by falling out again
and frightening the fair heiress, Anna
belle West, into a fit. The audience
rocks in sympathy and throws fit in
unison.
The play weakens when it becomes
known. that Charles Wilder, a sutton
for AnnabeIIs hand and a disappolnt-
ed heir, frames the plot and does the
killing. Entirely convincing as a Ju-
venile lead Charles voice shrills when
he attempts to act like John McCul-
Tough and pull the mad stuff. But
Annabelle finds a jewelled necklace
and the heart of a handsome cousin
and so the show ends.
The setting and the work of the &C
tors was entirely up to metropolitan
standards. In connection with bou-
ouets the theatre orchestra under dl-
rection of Ted. Silbeck entertained
commercially with interspersed pro-
gram during the show.
The committee feels congratulated
enough with the fine response and
hopes that similar events in the fu-
ture will be greeted with equal inter-
est,

ARE YOUNG FOLKS
BORED BY CHURCH?
LOCALS DEBA TIE

The debate at the Methodist young
peoples society drew large audience
and was an interesting affair.
The question: Resolved that the
young people of today are estranged
from the church." Gwendolyn Roesch
and Billy Schloesser for the affirma-
tive and Frank Ramshaw and Austa
Finnegan for the negative.
The affirmative won. The argu-
ments were very good on both sides
but the affirmative made out the bet
ter case.
While the young people blamed the
church they took by far the greater
blame for their lack of interest and
service in the church. Many things
were mentioned but their inordinate
love of pleasure was given as the
chief cause The arguments of the
negative touched the deeper sign1fi-
canoe of the question and left us with
very hopeful outlook.

One Paper In A Town.

Newspaper consolidation was QlS-
cussed recently by Otto ]. Zander OF
The Brillion News, who takes the
ground that it requires good slzeo
city to support more than one news
paper, saying: :.
"The papers sphere of usefulness is
either all-embracing or it is nothing,
THAT is a large order; it requires that
the publishers earnings and income
shall be sufficient to maintain ano
conduct and establishment capable OF
filling that order. He cannot say, i
will reduce my equipment, cut down
NV working force, and serve only
those who buy my goods.
MANY business men are DONG Wen
on such basis, but newspaper can
not fulfill its mission, or earn llVeil-
hood for its owner on so circumscrlp-
ed a plan. An institution which serv-
es a community so broadly and SO
consistently and increasingly requires
undivided support so long as it meets
the community's needs.
"a small town cannot double OF
treble its supporting efforts TO mann
tain more than one publication, nor
can it divide itself by two or three
and still derive the benefits which one
publication operating at full efficiency
can render it.
