FINE TALK HEARD AT THE WOMEN'S CANADIAN CLUB Principal Maurice Hutton, of University College, Delivers Address TALKS ON OPERAS Confines Remarks to Gilbert and Sullivan, Two Great Men (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Jan, 16--Prineipal Maurice Hutton ot University Col- lege, Toronto, was the speaker: at the Women's Canadian Club this af- ternoon in the Trinity United Church school room, A large rep- resentation were present, The sub- ject which Mr, Hutton chose was the "Gilbert and Sullivan Operas'. The speaker commenced his talk by giving explanations of the terms which are usually applied to the two great men of the opera, Gilbert and Sullivan, He defined the word 'humorist' the expression which might be appropristed for either of the artists, but which in the opinion tme Principal Hutton, was entirely misconstrued, A humorist," said the speaker, "is a man who makes plays on life with contrasts, Dickens and Thack- eray were humorists, Dickens madr fun of his old father, and in his book, 'David Copperfield', gave the character representing his father, to Micawber, Other humorists have 28 much more intellectual viewpoint and wmke their writings appear more sensible", As an example of cynical humor, Mr, Hutton chose the work of Cre- vantes, who wrote Don Quixote, "The world is so extremely com- monplace that it laughs at Don Quixote and gas a result thinks about the same concerning the su- thor, Crevantes, on the other hand, tried to picture a Spanish hero in the person of Don Quixote, and when he really saw the the truly Isughable nature of his work, must surely have seen the humor in it." Satire, misanthrope, and other ex- pressions of a similar meaning are not, the expressions which the sr- tists, Gilbert and Sullivan, sre clas. sed under, according to the spesk- er, Some little time was taken to diséuss the word 'cynic', It was declared that a eynie scowls and scoffs at what other people like and dislike.

Best also ap for, two summer flower shows, He "The membership of the' Horticul: tural Society is not as large as it might or ought to be, A more exten- sive membership would be the means of doing larger things both for the nization and for the town in gent eral. Another think I appeal for is a much more enthusiastic member ship, "It has been wondered by meme bers whether there is any use carry: ing on an organization which the town will not back up or which they could get along without. It would be useless to attempt any further de velopments for the town if this was the case, A great change in the beauty of this town has taken place since the inauguration of the Society over 35 years ago. "A striking improvement in the homes of the town is always notice- able and there are sections of streets which in the last few years have been entirely revolutionized, The homes here are of a type that, if they are taken care of, may be made beauti ful for the vicinity in which they are and for the upliftment of the stand: ard of the town, "Another way in which a vicinity may be made more picturesque, is to have the back gardens as well look- ed after as the front yards, It is the duty of every member of this Society to give all helpful advice and special aid required ta anyone tak: ing an interest in the beautifying by plants 'and flowers of the town," A nominating committee was then chosen by J.

And what more genial soul for Mrs, Jones than the beloved Kate Price! Educational Pictures lent Al St. John to supply the comedy, Jason Robards was given the role of young Casey, with Anne Sheridan playing opposite, while Brooks Benedict was selected for the "heavy."
