NEWCASTLE CAST PRESENT FAMOUS DICKENS TRIAL Famous Breach of Promise Trial Vividly Portrayed by Group of Players Directed by Com- mander Malnwaring Commander A. B. Mainwaring is surely entitled to an archid, or some kind a! a bouquet, or a crown o! laurels, or at least a vote a! thanks and appreciation for the leading part he has played in fannmng toaa brighter flame the commun.ity's in- terest in Dickens and in enabling the public o! Newcastle and vicinity ta once more meet their old and be- loved PickWickians, their associates and their acquaintancesr through the medium o! the stage and the play. "Pickwick Papers" were amn- ong the very first o! Charles Dick- ens' writings. He was just emerg- ing f rom the occupation o! a parlia- mentary reporter to that o! an auth- or, to became eventually a whale institution o! writing in himself. Dickens contributed the sketches, known as "Pickwick Papers" in monthly instaliments, and they were so pubiished in the London Times. They immediately caught the fancy o! the public which at once recog- nized themn as masterly humorous writing. They were soon put inta book f ormn and have been translat- ed into the languages o! ail civiiized peuples. They have stood the test o! time. "Pickwick Papers" is prob- ably as popular now as when flrst published and wifl likely continue ta be so long as publishers publish and printers print and people read for enjoyment and entertainment. It was no surprise then that both Wednesday and Thursday evenings o! last week found St. George's par- ish hall packed to capacity when the Newcastle Players. under the direct- ion o! A. B. Mainwaring. presented in dramatic form the famous breach o! promise triai. Bardeli vs Pick- wick. together with the episodes lead.ing up to and in connection therewith. It had been well advertised through the wise and judiciaus use o! posters. handbills and by notices in local papers. The advertising was on a scale and of a quality comn- mensurate with the theme. And sa on both nights the hall was filled with people o! the village and !rom Bowmanville, Orono, Oshawa. and the country round about. Here were: Samuel Pickwick, Esq., amiable o! countenance and kindly o! disposition, with his beaver. his neckcloth.hiùs sweiling waistcoat. his tight breeches, his gaiters and his watch, later the astanished and very indignant Plckwick; bis boan comn- panions, Nathaniel Winkle. Tracy Tupman and Augustus Snodgrass, with their scarflike ties, ffaring col- lars; Sam Weller, cheerful and lo- cjuacious; his f ather, Tony Weiler, urging the merits o! a bh)aUbi, and like his son always con!ounding his v's and his w's: Mrs. Bardeli wha either innacently or maliciously mis- interpreted Mr. Pickwick's remarks, who almost overwhelmed him with her embraces and ber faintlng and who came inta court In hysterics; bier promising son, Master Tommy Bardeil wbo vented his ire against the wholly misunderstood Pickwick; Elizabeth Cluppins. eavesdrapper, and Susannah Sanders, gassip- frîends o! Mrs. Bardell and like bier. heavily attired in early n1neteenth century outfits. There was nothing wanting in their facial makeup either. Here were aiso: Sergeant Buzfuz and Mr. Skimpin, counsel for Bard- ell, the plaintiff, and Sergeant Snub- bin and Mr. Piunky, counsel for Pickwick, the defendant, with their briefs and octavos and looking very wise and impressive In their gowns and wigs; Dodson & Fogg, solicitors for the almast inconsolable plain- tiff, who brought into court the most sympathizlng and melancholy faces they could prepare for the oc- casion and who were most attentive ta the weeping plaintiff and her friends and continually proffered themi whiffs o! smelling salts. There tao, was the learned judge, Mr. Jus- tice Starlelgb, in gown and wig. whose entrance into court was an- nounced by a stentorian cry o! "Sil- ence." As Dickens would say, hie ap- peared mostly waistcoat and face behind his desk loaded down with law books. There were also Mr. Pickyick's solicitor, Mr. Perker, caim and sober appearing, and among the jurors in their box, Who had re- sponded as t.heir names were called and taken their seats, the "Specta- tors in the Gallery" o! the court rcom recognized Ebenezer Scrooge, Wilkins Micawber Sr., Urlah Heep, Bill Sykes. Groffin and others o! Dickens' characters. Foliowing is the compiete. cast o! characters together wlth the names o! those who rendered expert and valuable assistance in the product- ian and presentation o! J. W. Ben- gough's dramatization o! Bardeil vs Pickwick: Mrs. Bardeli, a widow-Isobel. Ste- Stage Manager-H. R. Quantrlll; Stage Electriclan-Geo. Gaines; Wardrobe Mlstl'ess--Helen Lovekin. The maie oharacters were drawn mostly f rom the membership of the Men's Club of St. George's Church which so heartily co-operated wlth the parochial committee of St. George's which sponsored the play as a delightful means of raising some f unds for rectory improve- ments. The proceeds of the two ev- enings amounted ta about $100. About the or.ly expenses were the advertising and the rentai o! the wigs and Mr. Pickwick's costume. A! ter the play lunch was served ln the basement at 10e per person ta ail who wislxed to stay. This again helped to swell the grass receipts. "Bardeil vs Pickwlck" Is far too gaod a play not ta be presented a few more times by the same cast. I OBITUARY James B. Trick, Miilbrook James B.
