()ne of the best local concerts seen here in a long. long time was put on in the Town Hall last Thursday ev- ening by the members of the Band, and under the auspices of the Jun- ior Hockey Club. It was advertised as a complete and varied program and certainly lived up to the advance notices. A sketch entitled “The Ir- ishman and the Coon” by Messrs. Smith and Benson was a bright number, and a short play entitled “’l‘h'irty Minutes for Refreshments” furnished a lot of amusement. In this latter. Messrs. Peter Ramage, R. L. Saunders, James Lloyd and Royden Burnett. and Misses Irene Whitta- ker. Annie Smith and Katie Kelsey fin-med the cast and did their verious roles with a finish and finesse of pro- fessionals. The Jazz Band under the leai'lership of George Hugill, repre- senting in caricature several of the ileading lightsof Durham and the surrounding world, certainly made a hit. “llaIIelty and Rattles” a comedy was also good. and from the work entailed was the best of the evening. The comedy vas written from the comic series running in the dailies under lhename of "Spark Plug” was there, horse and all. Messrs. Harry Hugill and Ronald (iiles were the leading comedians. and Messrs. W. McGowan and George Hugill made up the horse named “Spark Plug", and gave an exceptionally good reâ€" production ut' the bopular comic in real life.
