"Brighten the Corner." a scintlmaung, sophisticated comedy by John Cecil Hdm was presented last night at the Empire Tlheatre before a large and very enthus- iastic audience.

This latest production of the Lit- tle Theatre Guild reflects very favorably on the outstanding tal- ent as a director of Mr. J. A.

Outstanding arncirig the per- formers last evening was the role of Jeffrey Q. 'IiaI‘bot. very ciupabiy played by Sid Fielding. Falling quite naturally into the role of the very eccentric Uncle Jeffrey, Ml‘. Fieldlnz interpreted the part. with a spontaneousness and him- our that were particularly pleasing.

Miss Florine Evans displayed a great flair for comedy in her role at; Dell Marshall and has is most attractive stage personality and presence. Although a little awk- ward in her arm movements, Miss Evans courlteracts this with the grace with wihidh she moves across the stage. Coupled with her very pleasing voice and almost perfect timing sh. gave one at the best domedy pexifomvances seen in re- cent Little Theatre 1’roduct.ions.

Two quite small parts which were played extremely well were those of the Delivery Girl by Betty Barwise. and Mrs. Mcslllienney by Ann Duffy. Aithoirpli the delivery girl only made one entrance. and Mrs. Mchllhenney two. the im- pressions they made on the nudi- ence were rrimarkable. It is hoped that tihey will appear in more productions in the very near fut- tsrc.

In his short speech before the opening curtain. acting President Gerald l-‘pater asked for additional volunteers to the active ranks. Al- though the membership of the L. Th. is well up to expectations the number of people available for act- ual woitr is not as law‘ Is could be expected.

Little Theatré Group Presents‘ Brilliant Comedy

iioiarians Addressed By Mai. Hutchinson

Major E. Hutchinson. Com- manding Officer of the Charlotte- town Cltadel Salvation Army spoke to Rotarlans at their week- ly luncheon yesterday. His sub- ject was "Strange Happer1‘ngs" in which he dealt with ‘occult phenomena of which he has had personal experience. Rotarians Kent Irwin and Randolph Man- ning _were chairmen. President lleuel LePage welcomed back Roiarian Gordon Hughes from his curling trip to Scotland. A new membe . Mr. R. E. Seller was in- troduced by Rolarian George Tweedy. Guests yesterday were Rotarian H. M. Benninghotf. Am- erican Consul. Halifax. Messrs. Thomas Coley, Halifax, Lorne Wigginton. and Jack Annear. Montague.

Major Hutchinson who was born in England and came to the Cape Breton coal fields when he was eight years of age. said that there are many things beyond the power of man to explain and were called superstitions, or ex- plained away as being simply coincidences. but he had per- sonal knowledge at some of these strange powers of the mind. He recalled that when he was a youth in the coal fields one miner re- fused to enter the pits because he had aeui the rats leaving on three consecutive nights. A few days later there was an explosion in the mine and though the bodies of 84 men were later removed from the shaft. not one rat had been found. Another time he himself had been in charge of a motor, a job of which he had been very proud. and without ex- planation he had been transferred to another pit. He had been greatly incensed at the change, but his job had been taken by a friend of his who on his way to work one morning tool: violently ill. He was unable to take a step further toward the mine althoush when he turned to go home he felt better. That day the man who replaced him on the motor had the top of his head blown

f.

His mother, said the speaker. had the strange power of the mind known as foresism by which she was often able to see portents of things to come. A

] friend of his in Hamilton had oc-

casion to visit his home in Cape Breton and called upon my moth- er. Although she was reticent about her powers his friend was much interested and questioned her at length. "As she was leav- ing. my mother suddenly recall- ed her. and took her into the kitchen where a picture was swaying on the wall. My mother told her that some such sign was given her when any of her family died." Two weeks later word was received from Scot- land that her brother had died on the day the visitor had called.

His father, too. continued Major Hutchinson. knew this strange power. One evening he went into the dining room alone to get something from the table. A wo- man's arm, bare from the elbow reached with him into the dish. His father had told them of the event and had been [really trou- bled. He said he wished t.he week were over or had never come. That same week he was crush- ed to death in the mine.

Paul. a religious. influential. powerful man. journeyed down a road. He saw a light and heard a voice.
