verence and exaltation which be-
longs to TINS great religious cele-
bration.
Mrs. Warren Currier, in her fore
ward evoked the proper mood in
the audience by her brief remarks
on the meaning of Christmas, ex-
pressing her thoughts on this sub
iect as they have grown through
the years.
The oneness of spirit which act
ivates the entire world at this sea-
son and the great JOY and COM
fort which the Savior brought to
mankind and which is recurrent,
particularly on the anniversary of
His birth, when it is brought to
mind more forceably formed the
theme of her beautifully expressed
foreword.
With the atmosphere thus Great
ed, members OF the Methodist ladies
choir. under the direction of James
H. Childs presented two fitting
songs. the lovely Nazareth by
Gounod ami the equally lovely
Savior. When Night Involves the
Skies" (Shelley).
In the former song, Mr.. Childs
sang the solo role which was well
suited to his fine voice and which,
due to this fact. was the outStand-
ing number although the choir it
self is a well trained group of
singers numbering some excellent
voices. Elizabeth Van Etten Water
man sang the Incidental solo in
the second number, her excellent
contralto voice adding to the beauty
Of this number.
Members of the choir are: So
pranos, Ruth Murry, Ruby King,
Virginia Finney, Lillian Crandall,

Play Presented

Christ, staged and directed by Mrs
Ross T. Hickcox, followed. The
simple yet ageless story Of the mir
acles wrought by the Galilean forms
the plot for the simple play which
was brought to life and fervor by
man was shot to death in the cap

AS Joel. the cripple, young Van
Slyck invested the part with SYM

his audience with him completely.

STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

You don't have to be madly af-
fluent any more to buy Prince
Matchabelli perfume for your best
girl. And it'll keep the situation
in good odor. In this season of
tiaras, it s right up the same alley
to select the package of perfume
which contains three tiny Matcha-
belli crowns filled with whichever
scent you prefer. BUT don't let
some shop suffering from inertia
try to pawn off one of the old style
bottles with only the stopper shaped
like a crown. If your out for a
crown, insist upon the real crown
shaped bottles that come three in a
nest for less than three dollars.
This is one of the smartest gifts of
the season. and one that won't put
your purse through a series or aero
battles.

TRUE OBSERVANCE OF CHRISTMAS IN
PROGRAM FOR TEN THOUSAND CLUB

in his disappointment at being
prevented from seeing the Galilean
| whom he so longed to meet, ana
in the last scene when he is cured
of his lameneSs. would have done
credit to a far older and more eX-
perienced actor.
Completely at ease and with a ma
turalness not typical of the child
actor. he won his audience from the
start. many being moved to tears.
In the last part of the play, con-
cerned with the curing of blind
! stranger by the Galilean, this en-
/ tire action occurs off stage, but was
made as vivid and thrilling to the
audience by Philip. as he described
/ it to Father Malachai, as If they
had witnessed it themselves.
AS he watched the miracle and
saw the stranger present the burned
wreath he had made for the Gal
ilean. Joel dropped his crutch and
ran out. His sudden realization
that he was cured and his excite
ment and joy were wonderfully
done by Philip.
Mary Jacobs, as Father Malachai,
was second only to Van Slyck, por-
traying perfectly by voice and ges-
ture a frail, sick old man too feeble
to move and having barely strength
enough to speak.
Elizabeth Roberts as the blind
beggar plays her part with NOV
ing sincerity, and Carrie Sones is
equally good as the self righteous
foster mother of Joel whose self
ishness and total lack of compre-
hension of the message of the Gal
ilean, prevent Joel from going out
to see Him and refuses aid to the
blind stranger, also seeking Him.
Mary Katherine Horton, Lenora
Costello and Marie Skinner, play
mates of Joel's, play their parts
well also, giving their lines with
clearness and ease.

attractive new club year books were
given out. their cover design being
