-- Ror VOL. EX DRYDEN, Ontario, May 2nd 1930 a The Follies FOSSIBLY no show for the last few years put on in town by local talent, has created more favorable comment than the one given in the Pulp Mil last Friday in aid of and under the auspices of the the Tennis Club. The curtain raised at 8.07 and wen; down finally at 10.30. Practic- ally two hours and a half of uninter- rupted fun. There were twelve people in the ensemble, five ladies and seven men. Mr H Gammon and Mrs Cooper were the accompanists. : Now there is one thing the writer does not intend doing and that is particularise or , individualise, at least not to any detailed meticulous extent, This is sometimes dangerous and no: always in good taste. But of course one has to say somethng, or description would be fiat. Dryden has been fortunate from year to year in unexpected talent. No one dreamed when Mr and Mrs Rus- sell came to town last Fall that there would be a Foly Show this Spring, nor that these people would take part, nor thay they would add the artistic touch that Lifted the en- tertainment from the good amateur to the professional. Both dance, well; both sing well; both act well. Thank you Mr and Mrs Russell. The entertainment was of the usual nature, first the ensembles lasting nearly an hour, then for the balance - of the.time, a series of gkits. The costuming was from Toronto, the ladies in rwhite «ilk Pierrette dresses and the men in white linen Pierrot garb. The spot light was in charge of Sid Bartlett, and the stage had been ~ done is black and white to match the costumes with great pains and care by Miss Valerie Ray. : The promoter, leader and general "manager was Mr Humphreys. Now it is not to be dreaded that anyone will be jealous of Mr Humphreys, if we dwell upon him for ; moment. An excellent accountant in busi- ness life, the stage lost something | when he chose vocation. His verve balanced by his aplomb; gave snap to all and confidence to everybody. Mr Humphreys has a sister. mos: of us of course call her Mrs Brown- hill but occasionally we lose our cir- i cumgspection and -we affectionately say "Doris." And she, with her exquisite artistic temperament for- gives our Bohemian ways. Well we will not place her order of merit in the twelve, suffice it, that in skit or song; serious or gay; she was the consumate actress 'Doris. Now then this is fine so far, but what about the rest. Well there was Mrs Don Maunsell as pretty dnd chic as when we used to:hear her a few years ago, and we called her 'Queenie.' She was also in excellent voice. 4 And Dr Palmer Wood, tha Mayor. It is to be hoped that ne'ther Coun- cillors Klose, Bailey nor Pooudfoot were in the audience. If they were his influence as Mayor is gone le ever, beause they, with the writer will visualize him more as Ivan: Pulalotski the Volga Boatman, iha our dignified first citizen. Mr Tom Cy still rofelng al i a Frank McDonald is new, as well as Jack and Florence Pitt, to. Dryden audience. All did excellently.

The choruses were well given and good precise enunciaiion was very apparent, mear.ny that when the twelve singers opened their mouths, the words were not mumbled, jumbl- ed or tumbled out of place, on the contrary were easly understood and owed. There was a finish to the whola show that lifted it from the medicore, A skit entitled, Old Man' has been criticised, because of its undue prominence on the bil- ling. And yet its principal actors HE Humphreys; SHE Mrs Jack P.tt pug over the subtleties to an ap- preciative aud'ence. The litile show was shown in onc of the principal London theatres, for many continuous months. It requires : fine geting, and an audience not {00 "obtuse. Both these were combined last Friday. The criticism of the Old Man has been kindly, because he wag 5 very sleepy old man, and too dzaf $0 hear unkind words. The sky Ezra was of gn untirely different natue. The country boy Ezra was acted by Bill Russell, the father was Mr Humphreys, the moth- er Mrs Brownhill. This playler was ir: three acts, and the scene of New York Streets, was drawn by Mrs Russell. Strange is iy not, what tal- ent can do. A strip of heavy build- ing paper, an artist's strokes and we see Fifth Avenue. beautifully acted. actress Mrs this ladies the Bride?'; leading Brownhill, again showed versatility. We have mentioned the Vion Boat- man this was the final sketch, Mr Tom Crawley was the Bathman, ani the act was pleaing, clever and a surprise to the audience. The show proper was through =at 10:30. Then , dance, musicat>d by Russell's Ramblers lasted until onc o'clock, and the met proceeds have put the Tennis Club in good finance. We went home to bed with tuneful melodies i, our heads, and waking 'ag usual at seven o'clock, found the bed clothes tangled, tossed, and on the floor to the tune of Happy Days are Here again.

SPECIAL MEET Dryden Golf Clu ub Last week-end a well known resid- ent of Dryden returned to town af- ter being away for about three weeks, Sitting comfortably in the observation car he was looking of the window thinking of home and the nice juicy steak his wife would' 'have ready for him when he arrived. 'Jus: before the noticed a line of about 20 automob- 'iles neatly parked in the middle of the Mill farm. Astonished and curi- train stoppad. he ous he looked again and saw many persons walking around with eager intense looking on their faces, evid- ently in search of something. He was somewhat shert sighted and d'd not ! see the little red flag so he asked the conductor about this. Golf Club" was the answer, and no wonder he was amazed tha; all should have happened ip such short space of time. This Club has gone over big with everybody. If you don't believe it look in the various stores around the towyn and you will see great displays: of Golf Clubs, Bags and Balls. Some merchants are already distributing score cards gratis, as an adveriising medium. Numerous small boys hava fash'oned imitation golf clubs out of sticks and are trying the game ac- cording to their own rules, If there are any comfortably pro- portioned ladies who are taking the e'ghteen day diet, please be advised that if they play eighteen holes casional ball (who knows?) here let it be Right definitely understood of the player who searched for a los; ball on day until dark and then went to town and bor- rowed , flashlight--is not true, Al- so' it is finally settled that Bobby Jones has too many engagements to be able to come here this seasen.
