Two senior and two junior In- trlaa made up .-he final evening of play-offs in the Queen's County. section of the Provincial Drama Festival. held at North River Hall on Tuesday. May 33rd.

In the senior section. the suck. ley Women's Institute presentat- ion of "The Deer Departed" was given first place over the Fair- view Women's Institute's prod- uction, "Nobody Home." In com- menting on the winning play. Mrs.

"J. P. Miller of Charlottetown. stat-

ed that it was the better choice of play for Festival work. and congratulated its director. Cecilia Blatch, on the eaceilent work Eh! had done in bringing the play to life for the audience.

This play was given the highest marks for setting of any play produced in Queen's County. Al- though this is the third production of this play to be judged in the Queen's County Playoffs. it. was in first to put the characters in costume. which added a great d ea to its appeal.

The adjudicator awarded nit place for best actress of the even- ing to Shirley Prowsc. for her portrayal of Victoria Slater. the youngest member of the cast. Al- ways in character. Miss Pzowte acted with n spontancousnsss which was a pleasure to watch.

Award for best actcr werit to Brent Newsom as Henry Slater. Although Mr. Newaorn is much younger than the charactzr re- quired in the script. he managed to convey the impression of mat- ure years throughout the entire length of the play.

"Nobody Home" suffered from lack of direction. Mrs. Miliar stat- ed, and suggested that the tempo of the play could have been much faster in this type of production. Mrs. Delmar Currie as Mrs. Bumper, and Chesley MacDoug- all as George Carter were both complimented on their charact- erizatioiis.

Junior Contest

In the junior contest. River School was the winner wi their presentation of "Tom Saw- yer whitewashrs the fence." Sec- ond place was taken by the York School with "The Pampered Ear-

F.

Adjudlcator Miss Mary Moran complimented Clyde River very highly on their choice of play. saying: that it was ideally suited as a vehicle for younger children. Phoebe Mecxinnon who directed "Tom" was commend F by Miss Moran on her meticulous attent- ion to detail, and on the addit- ional buslriess she had inserted into the play to make it such a success. The attractive setting was exceptionally well done. and the entire cast were perfectly natural throughout. their speeches, and their reactions to speeches by other members of the east were carried out quite well.

First place for best mate per- formance was given to George Gillespie in the title role of Tom. was Moran also commented on the excellent make-up of the cast, es- pecially that. of the elderly Aunt Polly.

Placing second. The York pro- duction was said by the adjudicat- or to have beer rather a poor choice of play for such young children. First place for best: set- ress of the evening in the junior plays went to Rose Watts for her sympathetic characterisation of Connie Gibbons. A most difficult role. calling for many changes of

” Miss Watts captivated the audience completely wi h her capable handling of the part.

Miss Moran complimented the director. Mr. Arthur Vescy on his production of trio play. and Aleiha Brown on the sound effects. Two minor roles taken by Joan Ve ey. (Mrs. Perkins) and Jacki: Anci- rews (Rudolf Von I-Iapsburger). al- so received praise from the adjud- icator for characterizations and make-up.

Warm, sunny weather prevailed throughout most of Canada. It was the first really summer-like day in the Maritlmes, with a high of 82 degrees at Blissville, near Saint John. N.B. At Halifax the baseball season opened before good crowds.

At Quebec. although Provincial Government employees and pro- vinclsl courts were on the job. the Federal and city offices and banks were all closed. French-speaking schools remained open and held celebrations for Dollard Des Orni- eaux - the patriotic figure who is said to have saved Montreal in l000 in a last-ditch stand against the Iroquois in the battle of the Long Suult.

The holiday was only partially observed in Montreal where some department stores remained open and the city courts did business as usual. Large crowds were at Blue Bonnets for the horseracing and at the International baseball game between Montreal and Buffalo.

At Toronto. lerse crowds turned out at the Ontario Jockey Club's race meeting at Woodbine. at an International Baseball League double-heder in which Toronto Leafs lost two to Rochester. and an international soccer match in which the English Inter-Nationals defeated Ontario All-Stars 4-1.

At Ottawa. while members of Parliament and the Railway Com- mission remained on the job, civil servants took a holiday and stores were closed. Boating and fishing were enjoyed by hundreds of city- dwellers who spent the day in the country.

In the Manitoba flood districts. celebrations naturally were quiet.

Many Italians surrendered be- cause they believed Lord wavellts forces were overwhelming. Hun- dreds of dummy guns, mingled with the real guns, and the explosions of firecrackers fooled the enemy.
