YYYY" by Booth Tark- ington, was: the first short play to be presented and dealt with a father of firm ideas who changed certain preconceived notions of camp life for boys through a lecture supposedly de- ' livered by an eminent professor from Station YYYY, The Winstead fam- ily included the father, mother, two daughters, Miss Anita and Miss Car- oline, and the youngest child a son called Herbert, The son, a lad of six- teen, was very anxious to attend a boys' camp in the summer, but Mr, Winstead would not permit him to do so, Mrs, Winstead, knowing her husband's firm will, would not inter- fere and Herbert received little sym- pathy from his sisters, The scene is laid in a living room of the Winstead home, Mr, Winstead and Roger Colby, a junior partner in his firm, arrive home after a day in the city and immediately Mr, Win- stead attempts to get a program ov er the radio, Something seems to be wrong with the machine and the See and Hear REAR ADMIRAL Gordon Campbell, V.C., D.S.0.

Anita Win- stead is interested in Roger Colby and is sitting on the sofa with him when her father enjoins everyone to keep still as he has located a broad- casting station, A Ridiculous Program The program is ridiculous and in- cludes several wretched musical num- bers but everything is heard clearly and Mr. Winstead persists that he has got some powerful new station, Finally a prominent professor of the state university "takes the air" and lectures on the need of your boys spending the summer in outdoor camps. Mr, Winstead is much im- pressed and the whole family takes note when the lecturer changes from this subject to the subject of mar. riage, In his formula for happy wed- lock he advises girls to marry men of a type personified by Roger Col- by. After the lecture the announcer gives the station as "YYYY." Mr, Winstead directs his wife to telephone a friend in order to find out the location of this station, He follows her out of the room and in the meantime the two daughters hear a coin drop underneath the table VY TATA TAT AAAS pay YX YY VY By any standard you care to set JUDGE it any way you ke, It's a BIG Six , , with true big car luxury, performance snd dig- It is'BIG in its conception mia: unusual, of Fisher Body Imxury and beauty, Big, roomy interiors, with deep, inviting seats, Mas- sive appearance, Lines that re- flect the latest vogue.

Herbert again appears and as his father gets another station he again raises the camp bogie. This time the father states that he will consider the sug- gestion 'and as the curtain is rung down the younger Winstead mani- fests a high state of glee, Parts Well Taken The part of the faithful and di- plomatic Mrs, Winstead was well ta- ken by Miss Lucille Bascom, As Her- bert Winstead, Kenneth Lomax gave a good interpretration to a difficult role and was the embodiment of a disappointed youth. Jean Robertson and Laura Larkin acted their part well as the Winstead daughters while Row Irwin made a capable, radio- stricken parent. Roger Colby was personified by Orval Ormiston while the parts of Annie, the maid, and the chauffeur were taken by Flor- ence Mutch and William Cox. The play was, cleverly acted and its hu- mor aroused much laughter from the audience, The Bishop's Candlesticks "The Bishop's Candlesticks" adopt- ed from "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo provided a choice bit of act- ing. The theme of this act, dealing with Jean Val Jean, the escaped con- vict and his kindly treatment at the hands of the Bishop, is too well known to need re-telling. The act- ors were called upon to fill difficult roles and achieved a marked degree of success, Harold Pascoe played the part of the Bishop, who in spirit of self-sac- rifice, was impoverishing himself in order to provide necessities for the poor and needy of the parish. Per- somé, the Bishop's sister, (Ruth Rob- ertson), objected to the bishop zelling his valuables in order to raise mon- ey for charity, The bishop withstood her scolding patiently but in answer to a jibe claimed that he would nev- er sell a pair of golden candlesticks which stood on the mantle of the firc-place and had been given him by his mother on her death bed, The arrival of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict after nineteen years of imprisonment, throws consterna- tion into the heart of Persomé but does not disturb the good bishop, He is quite willing to give food to this rough character and also invites him to have a night's lodging. ValJean accepts but during the night he ri- ses and takes the candlesticks and flees. Although the Bishop would not cal' the police ValJean is arrested on "e road with the candlesticks in r ossession, He dis brought back ¢ bishop's home by the gend- . The bishop says that ValJean s friend and claims that he gave wretch his candlesticks, He makes or this a fact and persuades ValJean to keep them.:The poor prisoner is very grateful and receives the bish- op's blessing when he leaves by a bush road for Paris. Lucien Michaud took the role of the desperate Jean Val Jean and his playing had a very realistic touch. Audrey, Draper was Marie, the Bish- Galley Two Writhy High School op's maid while Clayton Parker was the efficient gendarme, The setting and costumes were a faithful repro-|' duction of the days of Jean Valjean. er Features The school orchestra greatly as- sisted in the program and provided several fine numbers, Other numbers included : Folk Dance by Dorothy Rice, Bet- ty Lawler, Eileen McBride, Mildred Smith, Lottie Levine, Zora Gee, Madge Heard, Alice Theardgold, Jean Mathison, Vera Huntley, Vocal Duet by Clayton Parker and Oryille Dewland.

If you clear-up the condition with some laxative made with CASCARA, there is nothing better for the sys- tem--for the blood. ] But if you don't KNOW the lax- ative you have learned to depend on is of harmless cascara, here's some truly valuable adyice: The bark of a tree called cascara is the most marvelous conditioner mankind has yet found. It stimu- lates the bowel's muscular action, but does NOT weaken. A violent laxative forms the laxative HABIT. you always need more on the mor- row. With cascara, you don't.
