The audi- torium was filled to capacity which demonstrated the favorable mvan- ner in whieh the Little Theatre movement is being received in Osh- awa, Much splendid comment was made upon the fine stage settings which have been arranged for the Little Theatre productlons, That these are the work of members who have the interest of the Little The- atre at heart there fs no doubt, and the plays which are presented in such unique style have a distinctive feature in the scenery and stage effects employed at every Little Theatre Night. Possibly the most impressive pré- duction offered for the approval of Oshawa's Little Theatre-goers was the final one on the program. 'Low Life" by Mazo de la Roche with a cast which could not have given more attention to their respective roles, rendered as complete an exhi- bition of amateur performance as might be found. Their interpre- tations of the characters was per- fect as far as acting alone was con- cerned, and their lines were word perfect. Too many times do actors tak- ing the parts of the lower element in society overrate their abilities or place too mu-h stress upon the characters which their are playing. It seems they attempt too well to impress upon their audience the fact that the characters are of that nature. It was to the credit of the performers last night that this dif- ficulty was entirely eliminated. Each character was placed in the same class, and although the piece was a hard one, it was admirably done. There were four characters, Mr. Benn, a hard (?) working hus- band of "Low Life", Mrs. Benn, the real wage earner, and Linton, the non-paying boarder. The first was played by Freda Walsh, who port- rayed the head of the family in ad- mirable style, the husband by H. Kelly and Linton by George Jae- obs. Honors were divided equally. That the English in the language was of such a true nature that the audience thought they were view- ing a scene in the Old Country was vividly striking. The non-paying guest was so "realistic" that no sympathy was felt at all for him until Mrs. Benn herself succumbed to the schemes of her husband. "The Florist Shop" by Winnifred Hawridge was a real comedy, and was illuminated by many witty pat- ches throughout its entirety. Miss Dorothy Moffatt, the florist's book- keeper made an ideal female assis- tant. Her natural stage posture won for her general applause and dis- tinct commendation. She was sup- office boy played by Bert Slovsky the Jewish proprietor, by A. M. Robinson and Miss Wells, a romantically inclined Miss by Kath- ryn Hezzlewood. Mr. Jackson, the man in the case was played by G. W. Finley. "The Twelve Pound Look" by Sir James M. Barrie was a heavier piece. The story related how a wife, realizing her position in her home an impossibiliy due to her hus- band's whims, saved the sum of 12 pounds, purchased a typewriter, and left him without making her inten- tions known to him. He remarried and the action of the play takes place around the story of his first wife's return in the capacity of a typist to her former home. The characters were. Sir Harry Sims, Clifford Henry, Lady Sims, Ruth Carlyle, Kate, Mrs. H. M. Wil- liams and Toomrbes, H. Armstrong. The play. although well mastered bx the players, mirht have been a trifie overdone. A theme such as it contains demands complete posses- sion of expression concurrent. with the acting out of the play. The ac- | ousties of the Hall are not such as demand full volume of tome om ju a presentation. "The Impertinence of the Crea- jture" by Cosmo Gordon-Lennox {was a splendid little skit. Two aec- | tors alone were responsible for the ful outcome and they did so. Morris and H. P. Schell, ~-nactively Lady Millicent and the "nown gentleman played up to » ancther well. ©» cases as herein required were !

VISITING THE CITY William A, Fuller, general sec- retary of the Shantymen's Christian Association of Toronto, is a visitor in the city today. This evening he will deliver an {illustrated address in King Street United Church at 7.80 o'clock, on the association's work among the sailors of the Great Lakes, EFFECTIVE SNOWSCRAPER The new grader and tractor pur- chased by the 1928 city council for the benefit of some of the unpaved streets in the city, was put to an effective wintdy use this morning. The outfit was used to scrape the snow off the main streets of the city, so that traffic would not be impeded by the snow which fell last night, STORM DELAYED BUS Last nivht's srow proved almost too much for the eleven o'clock bus from Toronto last night, The Times heard this mornine, It is reported that the bus did not ar- rive in the city until rearly four o'clock this morning. When called by The Times today, the bus driv- ers refused to confirm this, but did not deny it. WHOOPING COUGH PREVALENT A good deal of whooping cough is prevalent at Thornton's Corners at the present time, and precautions are heing urged to prevent a spread of the disease, GOING WAS HARD Car drivers found the going hard oft the streets today. Where there was plenty of snow, extra power was necessary to make the wheels pull their way out of the drifts, and where the snow had been blown off the pavements, there was a coating of ice which was some- what dangerous. In either case, drivers had to be more than usu- ally careful. IN MINNESOTA FIRE Austin Lloyd, Fire Victim, Was Nephew of Mrs. A. Knapp FEATS OF HEROISM | Woman Passed Through the Flames Four Times to Warn Boys of Danger During a recent conflagration at Isle, Mille Lacs County, Minne- gota, which claimed the life of Austin Lloyd, son of Mr, and Mrs, Warren Lloyd and nephew of Mrs. A, Knapp of 12 McGregor street, Oshawa, feats of heroism of an outstanding na.ure, were perform- ed, Austin Lloyd was spending | the night with his two boy friends Norman and Clarence Hallsten at the home of the latter boys, About midnight fire swept the frame house, during the ravages of which the Lloyd youth was burned to death and Mrs, Hallsten and ner two sons severely injured by ne flames, Mes, Hallsten passed through an inferno of fire four times in order to warn the hoys of the danger, and was so badly burned that her life was despair- ed of, Improvement in their condi- tion, 'however, has been noted since that time, WINTER ROBIN SEEN A winter robin was seen North Oshawa yesterday, son Or- chard View Boulevard, Mrs. J.

His wheel was badly damaged, and he will be confined to hed for a few days with his leg injuries, Chief Friend Presents His Annual Report to Police Commissioners Necessity of Providing More | Adequate Accommoda- tion Is Again Stressed in The Report -- Chief Also Asks For More Motor ~ Equipment A large increase in the number of cases appearing in the Oshawa police court over the number in the pre- ceding year, but a recognition of the fact that this increase is largely due to the increased efficiency of the force in dealing with traffic law vio- lations, is featurcd in the annual report of Chief of Police Friend, presented to the police commission at its meeting yesterday afternoon, The report points out that there was an increase of 105 per cent in the number of cases dealt with, but | that the additional constables on the | force have enabled it to cover the city more thoroughly, make a closer | check on reckless driving and other traffic law violations which consti- | tuted a menace to the public, this] being the chief reason for the in-| creased number oi offences.
