Newcastle SALEMITE THESPIANS AGAIN VISIT NEWCASTLE Ten On Stage In Gripping Play For the second time in mecent years the good people of Salemn came to Newcastle at eventide with their dramatic talent, their wvardrobes and stage properties and upon the stage of the United Church S. S. Mail presented an- other gripping play. The Salemn thespians had a play with a les- son and a moral; they were in 1good forin and they had a sym- pathetic and appreciative audi- ence. The title of the 3-act com- edy, "Coveralîs," suggested to 5most minds the general nature of the production and they were not, far out in their pre-conceived- ideas. Whoever or whatever "Coveralis" represented was ex- pected to come out on top and did. The story ail centres around one family, The Stilimans. They were ail at loggerheads with one another, scrapping, wrangling and jangling. The domestic structure was in utmost confusion and home life in the most chaotic condition, ready to fali apart and disinte- grate. Robt. Stilîman - Ed Doidge - despite ail this was an aspirant for the city mayorality. Mis wif e Margaret - Mrs. Roy Winter -, had visions of social greatness and was concerned lest her family should concert with common peo- pie and plebians and ruin her hopes. Mer lithe and graceful daughter, Susan, was already in love with what her mother con- sidered such an one. Their son, Alexander, was a real he-boy, but was being frustrated in what he considered worthy pursuits. The part of Susan xvas taken by Thelma Werry and brother Alex by Douglas Burdette. Into the if e of this family where there is s0 much disagree- ment and friction there is coming a mechanic in coverails from a poorer section of the city. This is the poor, but capable, arnbitious and wholesome minded Walter Brant who is honourably in love with Susan who returns it two- foid. Pater and Mater regard him with horror as a suitor for their daughter's hand; while Alexan- der, the boy, has the highest re- gard for his opinions and abilîties in practical mechanics. Go and see the play and learn how Walter Brant, the mechanic in "Coveralîs," could repair ai- most anything and did repair the Stilîman family's disorders, bring- ing peace, happiness and success to the whole household. Another member of the Stiliman family, an important one too, was Grandad Stiliman - Wm. Taylor. Me was always on the side of the working class mechanic, though he was the father of The Bank President and father-in-law of his lofty wife. The part of the lover mechanic, and electrician, was taken by Les- lie Coombes. There were other members of the cast filling indispensable roles to round out the story. Mrs. Ken- neth Werry acted the part of Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison, a lady who seemed to consider herself in the top rank socially and, like her friend, Mrs. Stiliman, exhibited lots of swank. She had a self as- sertive and irresistible daughter, Patricia, who used her feminine wiles on Alexander Stilîman and bent her energies upon his cap- ture. This charming version of modern femininity was well por- trayed by Dorothy Winter. Bank- or Stilîman, Mayorality candidate, had a very efficient stenographer- secretary, Miss McArthur - Mrs. Leslie Coombes. And then there was Irene, the pretty maid in the Stilîman household. She had manyv duties and was sometimes consIderably perplexed. She was attractive and 'kissable'. Mrs. Sam Buttery fitted the part to perfec- tion. Prelude and inter-.act music was provided by Laurence Morton and Mrs. C. A. Cowan who con- J "w h~ ~ tributed piano solos. Mrs. Cowan also favored with a vocal solo.A Rev. R. E. Morton expressed ap- preciation of this visit of the Salemnites, a good biblical people, and of their worthy efforts in keeping up morale in this time of war and stress. Mrs. Ed. Doidge .was not one of the cast, but it was easiiy discernible how very help- ful, in fact indispensable, hier leadership and direction were in the pleasing and successful pro- duction of the play. After the performance the West Group of the W. A., which spon- sored the play here, served re- freshinents to the members of the cast and friends, and before de- parting Mr. Leslie Coombes, on behaîf of the visitors, thanked the ladies for their hospitality. Second Bowmanville Troop of Boy Scouts met Thursday night. A short inspection was followed by a few gaines. Highlight of the evening was the visit of Sgt. Cliff Samis of the Headquarters Co., Midland Regtiment, when hie in- structed the boys in Morse code signalling. The fact that this code can be so easily improvised and sent in sa many different ways is one of the chief factors for its use in this war. The troop is now changing any Semaphore tests to Morse so that in the future ail the boys can work on the saine thing. The "Scouter's" absence was not- ed and if he doesn't have a good reason at the next meeting, he will unfortunately go through the "ill".
