Patterson who is keen- ly interested in dramatics in which he has always taken an active part ever since he attend- ed coilegiate. While in Toronto where he was connected with Carlton St. United Church he was one of the most talented and pro- minent members of their dramatic society. The residents of the community are ta be congratulat- ed that they have the benefit of his experience and talent in the field of drama. It is ta be hoped that he will follow up his success of Friday evening and corltinue ta produce and direct more plays. Rev. Patterson speaks in high- est praise of the members of the cast of the Crosscup Kiss. He said he had neyer worked with a group that he had received as much co- operation and there were very few rehearsals where the attend- ance was not 100 per cent. Others who in their different spheres contributed ta the suc- cessful production of the play were: Properties, Francis Jase, Neil Britton;. make-up, Mrs. Mor- ley Sallows, Mrs. H. W.

However Ma Crosscup finds a candy bar recipe which has been rnissing for-a generatian and Cyr- u's decides ta get out of the dol- drums Mf being on the shelf, and starts enthusiastically ta start the way they did years ago. Ma Cross- ..up making the candy bar and Cyrus and John peddling it from doar ta doar. The new candy bar becomes in great demand and business increases. They conceal the whole undertaking from their son Robert with the mesult that Robert and Randaîl (played by Bob Allin) each suspect the other Lias put it on the market and Ro- bert refuses ta consider Randall's suggestion of a merger, and the latter starts an advertising cam- paign in, the form of a radio hour which he hopes will submerge the Crosscup Candy Ca. Complications are added when Cyrus Crosscup secretly buys a spot on a radia station so his young and pretty gmanddaughters, Lea, played by Mary Toms, and Lolly, played by Doreen Enwright can realize their ambition and sing over the air. He also enlists the help of Robert's pretty secre- tary Margie Foster (played by Pauline De Line) ta sing with his granddaughters and thus form a trio. However before the end of the last act all complications are. straîghtened Qut and the curtain fails with Robert getting his heart's desire in winning the love of Margie. He alsa has a recon- ciliation with his business rival Randaîl. Cyrus and John are happy in being busy again in their new company and nat forced ta pass the idle hours away by watching the "steam shovel" down the street. The two granddaugh- ters Lee and Laliy are happy in their success over the radia. All characterizations showed- evidence of careful rehearsing and expert directing by Rev. Pat- terson. The diction was good, the action neyer lagged but mov- ed smoothly and ail stage bus- iness was handled deftly, partic- ularly the broadcas'ing scene in the last act which was very clever and original. The members of the cast who took their parts with exceptional abilîty were: Glen Allîn, as the go-getter soni, Robert Crasscup who despite a soft spot in his heart for his pret- ty secretary, Margie Foster, is determined that sentiment shall have no place in his businessi or private if e, gave a pamticularly brilliant intempretation of the part and acted the young business executive in a most realistic manner. Pauline DeLine played the mole of Margie Foster, the heart-bmeak- ing secretary of Robert, a raie of admirable facility played with the usual natumal ease of this ac- complished actress. Ross Ailin, as Cyrus Crosscup, the lavable, philosophical and easy-going chamacter, gave a most outstanding performance and is ta be commended for bis womk. John Sandham wjho acted the part of John Parker, that pieas- ant, mild and rather awedt and sometimes bewildered individual was perhaps the outstanding member of the excellent cast. Mr. Sandham gave an interpretation that can be described as a very clever piece of womk by a ver., clever actor. He acted pathos and had his audience one moment with a lump in their throat and the next moment chuckling at his naive humor and actions. Louise Hancock, who had the chamacter part of Emma (Ma) Crosscup, the good-hearted 'vife and one whose feet get timed af ter bargain hunting and who had the welfare and happîness of Cyrus and John sa close ta her heart, acted her part exceptionally well. Evelyn Aluin as Kathryn Rus- sell in charge of advertising for the firm, played her part with ease and grace.
