PATS WIN AT BOSTON 'On Monday night the local radio "and hockey fans had an interesting "time "listening in" and getting the results of the hockey match at Boston * when the St. Pats defeated the Bos- ton 10-1, Each outstanding play was an- nounced during the progres of the game, and our friend Ross Roach was "mentioned more than once for the stops he made, Babe Dye scored 5 of the 10 goals for the Irish By periods the score was, 1st period .

This part of the contract was difficult of fulfilment; and finally the young Daingerfields assume the roles of servants them- selvees. Their laughable difficulties, mistakes and narrow escapes from| discovery form the plot. Mrs, Falkener makes the servants go through their paces, and finally the cook finds all her fellow servants dismissed. Of course everything is lovely at the end of the play. The father re- covers; the rich northerner is accept- ed by the cook, and everybody lives happy ever after. Cast of Characters Paul Daingerfield, (alias Smithfield) Robert Harris.

LB Paul, the Butler, (Robert Harris) had a double duty to perform--to be the servant of an exacting northerner and to protect his brother and sisters from affronts. He succeeded admir- ably--but as Dooley says "it was a struggle." Charles (Glenn Collacutt) was a typical "boot'--plus; and it is a (Araminta) I R. BENTLEY, Jeweller Optometrist i embarassment the part required. Burton Crane (William Nesbitt) had a part that required freedom and and air of easy assurance. He kept the various threads in the tangle well in hand, and came up smiling and triumphant at the last. Mrs. Falkener, (Isabel Lucas) was the "grand dame" to perfection and " her horror when the maid came out with a $45.00 hat that was the "dead spit" of her daughter's hat, was a thing to behold. This character was supposed to make all the rest of the characters, uncomfortable and suc- ceeded admirably. It was good act- ing. Cora Falkener (Gwendolen Ettey) made a most dutiful daughter--with reservations--and provided some in- teresting asides in the play. Solon Tucker (Karl Doubt) had a hard time of it; but he showed up well at meals and bore his rebuffs with becoming dignity--at times, Thomas Lefferts (Reginald Doubt) provided ample amusement to all, and received the reward he so ardently sought, Miss Appleyard and her associates on the teaching staff, Miss Haris and Miss Glasgow are to be congratulated upon ¥he success of the play. The incessant and heavy work of training and arrangement take much time and thought and, the thanks of the par- ents are due to them for the pains taking in preparation.

Elizabeth (Francis Mellow) "didn't like it" and was at no pains to con- ceal the fact from anybody and everybody, There was spice in her part. Olivia (Dorothy Higgs) had a con- tinuous part, and her memorization was quite an accomplishment, to say nothing of the excellent Irish brogue and the fine acting. Many compli- mentary words were spoken of the way this part was taken. Amanda (Eunice Malcolm) made an excellent "black mammy." Her make up wis perfect, dnd the old Southern "mammy" characteristics were well carried out. Randolph Weeks (Grant McMillan) | 3 had a difficult task.
