"POLLYANNA" BY
CARLETON PLAYERS
MAKES BIG HIT

In the opinion of the large aud
ience that attended the presentation
of "Pollyanna" last night the Henry
Carleton Players eclipsed by far
their previous ambitions, for this
piece took the audience by storm. as
Miss Peggy Martin walked straight
into their hearts as THE Glad Girl"
Laughs were frequent. while the sad
moments of this great play were
carried off superbly by the talented
cast.
The play opened in the home of
Miss Polly Harrington, the aunt of
1.-The Glad Girl" Here the Mission
Aid Society is busy, or supposed to
be busy packing a barrel for the
Missionaries. Their efforts are
greatly hindered by their inclination
to gossip, the scene thus affording
much opportunity for humor. The
part of Mrs. Carmody was taken by
Miss Gladys Ludwick. While Neil
Smith played that of Mr.. Carroll,
and Frank G. Anton that of Mr..
Gregg. The ever enjoyable Richard
Lloyd takes the part of Denny, and
as in previous productions delights
his audience with his dry wit. The
part of the hostess to the Mission
Aid Society, and that of Aunt Polly
is taken efficiently by Miss Vivian
Martin. Pollyanna arrives on the
scene. being greeted by the Mission
Aid Society and her aunt, and it
takes all of her spirit of gladness to
overcome her frigid welcome. She
introduces to Aunt Polly her newest
| find Jimmy Bean. this part is taken
by Kenneth Rowland, the popular
| juvenile.
The second scene opens in the
home of John Pendleton, this diff
flcult role is easily assumed by
Henry Carleton. Pollyanna under
takes to bring a smile to Mr.. Pendle-
tons stern countenance, and how
she succeeds provides the material
for the second act. Here enters
Frank Anton as the immaculate
Blocker, and Arthur Hebert as DIR.
Thomas Chiffon. Pendleton's physi-
can, and bosom friend. In the third
act tragedy enters as Pollyanna is
seriously injured. and here again the
players carry off the more serious
situations with the same ease as the
lighter ones.
The final act shows the prepara-
tions for Pollyanna's arrival back
! home after five years abroad with
specialists. AS a beginning for the
many surprises to Pendleton, his
doctor. and Aunt Polly, who were
former lovers, but who had been es-
tranged for 20 years enter-married.
! Before he has an opportunity to re-

now While Charlie makes the v. &
B. hammers he does not use 'em much
That makes me think of the ham,
Tnering around on shipboard evenings.
An officer accompanied by couple
of sailors with hammers do a lot Of
noise At first | thought they were
spiking down the ship for the night,
but learned from the chief engineer
that they were closing the port holes
and the big main iron on the outside
of the grill doors in the social hall.
These doors are on d deck, ard the
gang plank, or what US stockmen
would call loading chute, is usually
hooked on here when the boat is
docked.
1t is odd how many peculiar sounds
an old beat will accumulate through
the motion on the water. The interior
Of this $6000,000 contraption is just
chock-a-blocl< with pipes and plumbing
and when the waves wsllop us around
the tintambulations thereof is grand
chorus running all the way from pro-
longated creaks to chirps, cheeps and
gr0ans. One gets used to it ano
eventually feels confident that it is
going to stick together in spite of its
groans. About the cutest things on
board are the, little bell hops, cabin
boys and elevator boys. You can al
ways get smile from one of them
ard they are the most polite httle
chaps | ever saw. The other day !
met one in companion-way trying
on masquerade headpiece with horns
sticking up from it. "Ha," sez /, "you
are little devil.
Eyes, sir; that's what am, sir,
was the prompt reply. The way he
said it was as cute as the reply.
This is Friday, and Rotary day with
the gang on board. Yesterday our
"Belgenland club" received radio
message from the Rotary club at
Toxic to meet with them on January
IA, which was promptly accepted and
we are looking forward to this meet
ing with considerable pleasure.
We expect to land at Yokohoma
next Sunday, visit Kamal1ura Monday
and Tuesday, Tolzio Wednesday, Mix
lo Saturday and Kobe Monday, Jan.
nary 10; Kyoto, January q, then up
through the inland sea.
From information received we arc
destined to get plumb eyeful during
cur stay in Japan.
1t is strange how easy one can sag
back and let the old boat do the work
and with so little monotony mingled
in the process.
