We grasped the torch and held it high. It was a soldier's last command. He smiled his thanks, he fell to die, And we were left to understand, The light we held shone far beyond The muck and mire of strife and feud To where there was no stagnant pond For Hate to spawn her filthy brood. We groped our way, we stumbled, e But always held the torch on high, Though more than once "twas hard to que The shades which came to terrify. At last we stood on firmer ground. But not alone were we that night, For others came with thanks pro- found, Because we waved the guiding light. The soldier bloom. The torch he fired is still aflame.

B. Shaw and Eugene O'Neill. This very reason was the cause oi my contemplations. Because, why should this be a mew movement, when it was started ages ago---this branch of popular art as expressed by the people for the people? How ever, I was gladdened by the fucl of seeing the awakening of th Canadian people to the inherer? desire for art and self-expression by the medium of the theatre 1 the movement on hand to wresi! this popular muse from the tencis | of those who commercialize aud degrade it, Approaching the sanctuary of the "temporary seat of drama, the Rotary Hall, I had expected to sce the crowds of peoplo lining up the sidewalks, to see the outstanding event in this rather uneventful lie of our city, as is the case at local movie houses each Saturday night, but I have been sadly disappointed. It appears evident that the major- ity of us prefer the talkies por- traying cheap back-stage and cab- aret life, with heaps of hoof kick- ing and contortionist dancing, to the clean entertainment one derives | from plays produced by the Little | Theatre. { | A Comparison Just for the sake of the argu- | may 1 be allowed to mention LITTLE THEATRE | | ment, a fact that the little colony of lo | cal Ukrainians in this respect oc- cupies an enviable position. They produce around one hundred and fifty plays and about twenty con- certs each season at four different halls that are crowded each Sat- urday night--and they attend mo- vies, too! It is difficult to under- stand this apathy to legitimate stage when one considers the Eng- lish speaking theatre! Therefore, with that much more interest 1 had entered the portals of the Rotary Hall, standing soli- {tary in the back of the main thor- | oughfares, very symbolic of the fo theatre that stands in the | | background of the life of Cana-| dian people. It was sad to reflect upon the magnificent palaces de- | voted to opera and drama in vari- | ous Europen countries, built and supported by the people and sanc titied for art--not for money-mak- | ing Two Glamorous Hours In the refined atmosphere of | the audience at the Rotary Hall one finds a complete oblivion ot | this prosaic life and relief from the clangor of noises and hustle of our present day life, The imagina- | tion is aroused, the aesthetic feel- | ings stirred, and one is taken on the magic carpet on a two hour, glamorous trip over the world for | a few glimpses into the life of Rus sia, India, the lifo of a Westen farmer and last the Kingdom of a Mother, For this is the program as presented by tho Little Theatre The curtain is drawn, and one looks upon a scene of Russian life in. "A Marriage Proposal' as de- | picted by Anton Tchekoff in an absorbing little comedy that 80 vividly portrays to an Anglo-Saxon | the conflicting emotions and char- | acter of a Russian. Could there be | a more original marriage proposal with a happy conclusion after a storm of wrangling and outbursts of temper between the girl and the suitor as is depicted by Tchekoff? It is a real treat to see he charming Natalia, full of pas- sion and temperament in the role of. the Girl, as it is so ably port- rayed by Mrs. W. E. Findlay. One could not help but like her. Or Mr. Harold Smith! His splendid acting, his inimicable minimery in the part of the suitor can only be praised. While Mr, A. H. Power playing the fahter of Natalia gave us a perfect JDicture of a rich Russian farmer. You could not pick a better cast to fill the parts for this play. "The Cradle Song" by Fritz Kreisler was a symbolic little scene, presenting .a Mother bent over the cradle singing a sweet lul- laby to the accompaniment of a violin and piano. Even though the mother was dressed in the costume of a Ukrainian peasant woman, yet she was symbolic of mothers the world over and likewise appeal- ing to every heart. Mrs. Mae Nicoll was this "Mother", singing beauti- fully the "Cradle Song." "Trifles", the following play, was of a entirely different nature. It belongs to the class ofemodern murder mystery plays with an un- usual climax. It was realistically acted and setting were perfect. Mrs, Chas. Mundy, Mrs. XK. Hezzlewood, Mr. Al. Kennedy, G. R. Holden and H. Day share the equal hon- ors in acting. But "The Drums of Oude", a ing, was considered the outstand- ing play on the program. The play is brimming with Buspense and dramatic action from the begin- ning to the very 'end. The major parts were superbly acted by Col. Frank Chappell and Mrs, E. L. Chant in the roles of Captain Mac- Gregor and Mrs. Jack Clayton, an English society lady. One reflected that no professional actors could ict those parts with more ap- size size size Name ,..

A Conclusion Having enjoyed an high class entertainment: which i: a rare treat in this otherwise du! 1 | Prince Edward Island's Wo-| Wesley life of our. city, 1 could-not help | but wonder why the majority of Oshawans are indifferent to thz noble activities of the Littie Theatre that endeavours to fill the vacancy contre. I could not help but won- der at the fact why the citizens of Oshawa could not situate such a laudable institution in a place re- sembling at least one of the local theatre buildings not to speak of the Hart House, On the other hand Oshawa is 'well provided with buildings for other activities-- Avena and different dance halls. Even tho small colony of local Ukrainians can boast of four build- ings devoted to drama and culture, each larger than the building that houses the Little Theatte. Novertheless, after seeing the production of the Little Theatre, the marked enthusiasm of perform- ers and all connected with this movement, I convinced myself that The Little Theatre in Oshawa, as well as in all Canada, has a great future ahead. The movement is rather novel and recent, there- fore it will take quite some time yet, before the majority of the people realize its importance, As to the local organization \I wish that every man and woma of our city but visited once the presentations given at the Rotary Hall and become enthused with the principles of the Little Theatre, just as IT had been. All the officers nd those connected with this or- ganization deserve the highest praise and support of all the eciti- zens, for they are a credit to the city; particularly, Mr. Joiin Craig, the director, and Mrs, Craig should be warmly complimented for their able and devoted work in the cause of art and the Little Theatre, The Literary Digest wants to know whether color cah be heard.

The women of the Institutes, under the Provincial Supervision of Miss Mary McPhail, are making a careful study of every phase of civic and social life with the object of helping some of the defects of community life in Prince Edward Island. Institute work has brought out qualified lead- ers and its members are keeping closely in touch with the schools, as to their progress and sanitation, They have publicly identified themselves with the campaign for the new Pro- vincial Sanatorium to be built in Charlottetown this spring. The im- portance of Junior Red Cross work is also being stressed. IT IS. EASY TO CRITICIZE It is easy to sit in the sunshine And talk to the man in the shade; It is easy to float in a a well trimmed 0a And point out the places to wade.

Wesley Routley, the president, is sparing no cffort to make it a suc- cess. Mrs. Norman white is in Whitby this week attending the funeral of her father, Wm. Van Valhenkeugh. The sympathy of the community is extended to her in her sad bereave- ment.
