The fire was opened as the paraders

fired from the Bruno home and the
home of Bruno's nephew, Paul, across
the street.
Those killed were Frank Fiorilla. IS,

SCHOOL FACULTY IN
entertaining PLAY

"Old Lady 81" a comedy about the
trials of a retired sea captain in an old
ladies' home. was presented at the
Marjorie Webster School last night.
The cast was drawn entirely from the
faculty, who seemed to enjoy acting as
much as their audience enjoyed seeing
them act.
Abe, the leading role in this play by
Rachel Crothers. was played by Mar
jorie Webster. He was the sea captain
who stayed at the home to be near his
wife. While there he became entan-
gled In an affair with a flirtatious in
mate, was made Ill by the well-mean-
ing but comical attentions of the old
maids and decided to run away with
friend and leave his wife. However,
it ends happily, with him restored to
her arms.
Wilhelmine Haley played the part of
Angie, Abe's tender and devoted wife.
Her performance as an understanding
and forgiving old lady left nothing to
be desired. She kept her poise when
the other ladies were gossiping and
fluttering about Abe's affair with
Blossy, never doubling her husbands
love for a moment.
Another player deserving of mention
was Frances Brunt as Blossy. She was
the f1irtatious old maid who had the
affair with Abe. She finally wound up
by marrying Samuel Darby (Wilda
Kilbourn). Other players who carried
their roles well were Judy Mcfarland
and Edith Osborn as two prim old
maids, Ruby F. Neal as Sarah Jane,
the kindly head of the home, and
Marion Rose and Margaret Plummer,
