DRYDEN OBSERVER Popular Amusements THE PLAY, "DADDY." For six weeks, practicing has been going on steadily in the "Big School" for "The Night." As the bills tell, the interest centers about the play 'Daddy' which was, a few years ago, very pop- ular in the Southern United States. It proved just as entertaining in Ont- ario laer, and it is hoped that Dryden critics will find some small spice of the true-to-life in it. It should take nearly an hour to lead up to the psychological moment when the lovers are reconciled. oYu should really hear those chil- dren sing our national hymn, and see them dance those old Scottish and Irish steps. It should prove highly ronular and artistie. The object of the entertainment, be- sides its educative value to children, is to start a fund to provide a piano for the new school. It is also their a on to add to the fund and have ia memorial to the Glorious Dead of | Dryden erected somewhere within the grounds. It is working in concert | with the Great War Veterans in this noble project. Tickets for reserved seats may be gotten from R. J. Pronger, who has the plan of the Mill Hall, It is expected that Major Hamilton, Inspector of Public Schools, will be the guest of honour that evening. of LIBERAL PARTY WINS--contd. majoriy in the house. Of 235 members Liberal supporters hold 119 seats, Progressives 60, Conservatives 51, In- dependent 2, Labour 1, with two yet to be reported. The return of Mr King in North York indicates the defeat of Mr Bur- naby, president of the U.F.O. Mr Crerar, Progressive leader, is also re- urnee, dwhile Mr Meighen has been defeated by a farmer in Portage-la- pra irie. The Liberals have shown unexpected strength. Starting with a clean sweep in Quebec of 65 seats, they have car- ried two other maritime provinces. The progressive party, while they have done well, have not attained their expected lead, although they can take some satisfaction from the defeat of the Meighen government.
