FIFTH ANNUAL PRODUCT BY ST. AiARY'S
PLAYERS AT AUGUSTA OPERA HOUSE TODAY

ture and elegant floor lamps kindly
loaned by the Wallace Diplock Fur
niture Co. will give to the sets a
richness of color and an elaborate
ness of detail that will catch and
please the eye of the audience. The
artistic. taste, good judgment and
close scrutiny of the feminine char
acters in the play have been mainly
responsible for the gorgeousnesS OF
the stage layout. The large chande-
Tiers and table lamps were courteous
lv offered for use by the Central
Maine Power Co.
Miss Dorothy Stone is a we'll
known personality to Augusta and
she graces the role of Ottily Howell,
the bride. Miss Stone is winsome
character who readily plays on the
heartstrings Of her audience by tho
studied delineation of her part. AS
Mrs. Howell she wishes to rectifX
what she considered big mistake
on the part of her husband and she
almost wrecks a home that had just
been weaved by love and devotion.
George Howell, the bridegroom, IS
the part assumed by John A. Nc
Donough, who arrives at home TO
find a complication of turns and
twists that battles unraveling. Mr..
McDonough is the embodiment of
all that the role exactS and with a
quiet confidence and a full realiza-
ton of his share in the Full House"
contributes an interesting and pleas
ing Interpretation of the bridegroom.
Robert Faulkner as Ned Pembroke,
the only son, Is one of the causes Of
the grand mixup and he sure does
squirm out of difficulties. Bob is
right at home in the role and seems
to enjoy getting people into straits
and then watch them make the best
of it. Miss Harriet ", Enright as
Miss Winnecker, tee aunt, is suspi-
cious of the good qualities of men
and does not make things any too
pleasant for the younger folk. Miss
Enright will be remembered for her
fine work in previous plays.
The Misses Catherine Larkin,
Frances Faulkner, Jane Faulkner and
Madelyne AlbNon have seized the
spirit of their characters and do JUS
ticesto their parts so that the web of
the story is carefully weaved by their
work and renders the Full House"
full of action.
A special program of music will be
presented in connection with the
staging of the play by the Schubert
orchestra under the direction of Mrs.
Thomas o. Cony. The program will
be as follows:
March-"Spirit of Youth" Goldmans

LARGE CONGREGA TONS Greet
REV. WILLIAM R. WOOD, DID,, ON
HIS RETURN TO PASTORATE here

fist church in the Capital City of this
great State has a unique opportunity
for far-reachng service. This oppor-
tunity is challenge to maintain here
a church that shall be worthy of the
devotion of those who preceded us, of
the great Baptist fellowship to which
we belong, of the larger fellowship of
all Christian communions, and worthy
of the Son of God whose name we bear
as a church of Christ.
II believe that the Christian church
Is the most necessary and valuable
institution on earth, and that its up
building is the most important work
in which men and women can be en-
gagged. I am convinced that the secur-
ity of our homes, the welfare of our
children, the prosperity of the COM
munity and the preservation of our.
American ideals can be served by the
upbuilding of the church better than
by any other means in the world.
Therefore no labor is too arduous, no
problem too difficult, no sacrifice too
great to be undertaken gladly for the
sake of Christ and of the church for
which He suffered, and which He or
dained to serve as His body on earth
until He returns to finish the work
He began before He was crucified.
ST realize that the success for
which we all hope and pray depends
upon the hearty cooperation of min
lister and people, and I am going to
take such cooperation for granted. I
shall try not to ask anything unrea-
sonable Of you and I am confident that
you will not fail to rally to every call
for service that aims to promote the
growth of the church, the welfare of
the community and the glory of our
Lord and Saviour"
HaverhiIl Tribute
Haverhill, where Rev. DR.. Wood
was pastor of the Winter street Bap-
fist church, officially said farewell
to the pastor and his family last
Wednesday evening at a reception
in the church parlors with Mayor
Fred D. McGregor representing the
citizens and a large attendance of
the clergy and members of the
parish.
On that occasion acting as spokes
man for the Haverhill Ministers AS
ISOLATION, Rev. Mr.. Segelken read the
following tribute to the work of Mr..
Wood as a member of the organiza
ton and clergyman in general:
whereas, Reverend William B.
Wood, D. D., pastor of the Winter
Street Baptist church, has been
called and is accepting the invita-
ton to his former parishioners in
Augusta, Maine;
"And, whereas, we feel that his
going is a severe loss to our fellow
ship and to the life of the city be-
cause of the fact that he has given
freely from his rich experience in
I'civic. educational and religious un-
dertakings and has been conscien-
tious worker, a trusted leader, a wise
counsellor and a help in common
Christian undertakings, serving two
years as president of our association
and later as president of the Haver-
hill Federation of Churches.
Now, Therefore, be it resolved
that we, the Haverhill Ministers AS
ISOLATION, publicly declare our sense
of loss, extend to the Winter Street
Baptist church our sympathy at this
severance of relations with DIR.
Wood. and felicitate the Augusta
church 1lpon its good fortune in hav-

Such suggestions appeal to Mr..
