Pains, three-act comedy by
Aurania Rouverol, produced by
special arrangement with Samuel
French, Jr., last evening in the
school auditorium before house
completely sold out. The play,
remarkably professional in en-
actment, was highly praised by
the audience and pronounced one
of the bost theatrical efforts put
on in this city for many years.
! The embodiment of the plot hav-
ing to do with the trials and
tribulations of the Mcintyre
family in bringing up their chill
dren through the adolescent age,
proved highly amusing to the
audience and brought forth many
a hearty laugh and much ap-
plause during the whole per-
Torrance.
Especial credit for the fine
performance is due Mrs. Lorrine
; Thompson for her directing, as
sisted by Mrs. Grace Hilton and
Miss Mary Trevor of the school.
Scenery was very fine, being in
charge of Thomas Cooper, assist
ed by Delio Bazo, Arnold Brye,
Antonio Martinez, Malcolm Rob-
erts, Eugene Russell, Louis
Richardson and Una Mae Brady.
Other committees serving were:
Publicity, Louis Divide, William
Jackson; Tickets, Olga Brost,
Maria Estenoz; Posters, Dick Her
nandez, Orlando Esquinaldo,
Richard Chapman, Jr.; Lighting,
Miss Ida Engel, Dexter Dorgan,
Warren Russell; Garden Arrange
ments, Olga Kemp, Olga Camo,
Susan Roberts; Programs, Miss
Mary Cleare, Virginia Knowles.
During the intermission John
Pritchard's orchestra gave sew
eral fine selections. Music played
during the play was in charge
off John Robinson.
The leads were taken by Mar
garet White and Allen Neil Rob-
erts, each turning in highly
polished performances. The bal

ically demonstrated, and it reflects
credit on Mr.. Chamberlain that he
was able to recognize it. But-in
the very same speech he advocated
ever increasing ornaments expendi-
lures for his own country; that one
account, he said, would have to be
replenished during the coming fiscal
year by the expenditure of $780,
100000 in addition to what had al
ready been appropriated.
"Of course" he added soothingly,
'if others will start disarmament,
Great Britain will join such move
ment, for we are profoundly inter-
ested." But, as the attentive reader
will know-somebody else must start
it. Great Britain won't. In fact,
Chamberlain added, in conformity
with statement made some time ago
by the President of the United States,
now is not the time to discuss dis
armament.
A pretty considerable part of man
kind is wondering why, and it is
that part of mankind which is being
asked to pay, first, in money, then,
in human lives for the madness
brought about by men who occupy
the leading posts in the management
of international affairS-men whose
own lives are not to be demanded
in any crisis which will arise from
the gigantic ornaments race.
