<=) | before n full house In Taboral Hatt
oe. / jast evening, they not only upheld
' Ha atoadily growing reputation’ for

ie

fine dramatlo performance, but
gathered fresh laurels for thelr
collective brow. From “My Sister
Eicon,” which wax the group's
earlier presentation of tho season,
to ‘Outward Bound” {x 9 daring
Jap, histrionieally speaking, since
the latter play lacks tho popular
appeal of the former, and at the
same time taxes the talents of the
individual actors to the full; but
the White Rock group made It last
pight, and with a fair margin of
safety to thelr credit, thus demon-
atrating thelr extreme versatility
‘and true acting ability, This doos
not mean that the players turned
ty a flawles« performance. More
than once the action was slowed
down noticeably by awkward
Pauses occasioned by tho necessity
‘of prompting, and not all the mem-
ers of the cast proved equal to
the demands made upon them by
their respective roles, In spite of
these shortcomings, however, tho
players sticceeded in putting on a
thoroughly fine and workmanilice
show, marked in certain cases by
acting of such high artistic calibre
as would do credit to the profes-
Slonal stage anywhere, Some of the
scenes In the play wero deeply
moving, and In at least two In-
stances, wrunz from the audience
* that supreme tribute to the actor's
virtuosity, namely, tears-

The Action of the play all takes

Place in the cosy bar of an ocean
®iiner, and deals with seven char-
acters Tepresenting an interesting
cross-section of society, who find
themselves embarked on a strange

Journey, the nature of which !s

graduatly revealed nx the play pro-
gresses. There are the young
lovers, Ann and David; Tom Prior,

the ne'er do well, who, by his own
admission, has met every crisis in
life by geting drunk; Mrs. Clive-

@en-Banks, a woman of position

and means, with a marked superi-

‘rity complex and a malicious

tongue; the Reverend William
Duke, a modest, and gentle young
clergyman; Mrs, Midget, the hard-
worked; humble charwoman with
the indestructible spirit, and finally
Ms, Lingley, “of Lingley and Com-
pany,” the self-made, unscrupulous
‘and pompous business man. The
other ‘two characters In the play
are Sorubby, the kind and courte-
ous steward of the lner, and the
Reverend ‘Thompson, the “Exam-
iner” before whom all the char-
‘acters are obliged to appear when
they finally arrive at thelr unfaml-
Mar destination. Franklin Johnson
4x Tom Prior, Folicle Mitchell ax
+ Mrs. Cliveden-Banks, Guy Weston
4s the Reverend Willlam Duke,
‘Enid Saunders as Mra, Midget, and
Denis Jamen ox the Reverend
‘Thompson, all turned in really fine
Performances, and It would be dimti-
‘cult to decide where top honors
should go In this respect, since, of
Necessity, some roles were mich |
meatier and more sympathetic
than others. Nell Primrose ap-
peared in the part of Lingtey, and
the characters of the lovers, Ann

Big things are tn store for White
Rock, Must be, as there was
quite a delegation representing the
Fenilway here last week, and tt is
too early in the season for them
to come swimming. Perhaps it's
the long awaited overhead by-pass
oF the oribbing to hola up Wash
ington Avenue, Then again it
could be, again more rumours, that
4 culvert fn to be cut under the
tracks by Oxford Street to drain
the water from that section of
town. A much more’ simple piam
would be to get «nots. culverts
mude to have the tide DeOC in and
with the water alreasy there, come
vert Washington Avenue into =
canal, Gondolas would be ever a9
much more comfortable for
travelling, and White Rock could

become the Venlee of the Pacific
Const,

One hears that White Rock tas
been neglected by the Municipal
ity; that can hardly be true, when
wo have a new car for the boeal
gendarmes. Sure wan needed.

Rumours are flying to the effect
that property has been bougkt for
a new Bank for Hilitop, Another
Tumour Ix that they are also to
have a pleture show, and the
Liberal Hall has been sold to the
Masonte Order.

Heard rather a ood remark the

at the other fellow; you have three
