Member: of the Little Theatre Guild were generous in their ap- plause last night as the curtain lowered on apreview of the Guiid's entry in the forthcoming Regional Festival, "Ladies in Retirement." The 'play is a fine blend of humor and dramatic sus'pence.' and as such is hardly an easy one to per- form. Throughout the entire seven scenes of the three act play the cast held its audience with a sincerity ofchsracterization which was reminiscent of the talent and skill which took members of this same organization to London. Ontario last year as Dominion finalists. This achievement is all the more remarkable since the cast have had only one month in which to prepare the production. and great credit is due both the cast and the director. Two of the cast of last year's triumph. "Papa Is All," are again taking part in the festival entry. Jean Giddin-gs, who was com- mended by the adjudicator in London for her fine sense of com- iedy. repeats her success in the "not so bright" role of Emily. one of the ”polty" sisters. End Eliza- beth Willett displays a similar ability in the portrayal of a hum- orous characterization as Louisa. H. Barry Bugden. who played the role of the villrinous "Papa" in London, is directing the play, and stepped into the cast on a week's notice as Albert. when

Eric Maaccregor, originally cast in lthat role. was taken to hospital. Mrs. Vera Mlllar, the director of "Papa Is All". gave in a few words after the performance some of the audience's reaction to the play. and her brief criticism will be of assistance to the cast as they put the final touches on the play be- fore the first festival performance She commended Lucy, the maid, played by Etta Bell. for her fine performance, and remarked par- ticularly upon her excellent exit.

Entomological Work Reviewed

"The 1951 growing season was rather unusual from an entomo- gical standpoint," stated Mr. F. M. Cannon, of the Dominion En- tomological Laboratory, Char- lottetown. in his report at the Agricultural Council conference yesterday. There was a consider- able amount of rainfall Ind the temperatui-e was generally below average. These factors had a definite influence on insect de- velopment and probably were re- sponsible for such low popula- tions of many species. There were no serious insect outbreaks re- ported during the season. but there was some unusual damage to crops noted in certain districts

in one case a three-acre field of corn in the Winsloe area was completely destroyed by siugi. The corn came up about two inches high before it was attack- ed. and it was only a matter of a few days before almost every plant had disappeared. The slurs were breeding in long grass which had been plowed down the revious fall, 4-5 inches be- low .he surface of the soil.

Reviews Investigations

Mr. Cannon gave details of the investigations carried on at the laboratory at the present time,

Flags Throughout World Lowered To Half Staff

"it is significant in this world of republics how the British Royal House stood firm, not merely in law, but in the effec- tions nf the people."

In Italy the Pope was inform- ed by Walter St. C. H. Roberts, British Ambassador to the Holy See. The Poritiff instructed that a telegram of condolence be sent at once to the King's family.

In Ottawa. flags on the Cana- dian Parliament and other build- ings throughout the city were lowered. Aides said Prime Minis- ter Louis St. Laurent was deeply shocked by the news.

In Stockholm. King Gustaf VI of Sweden was closeted lot" more than an hour with his earl mar- shal preparing formal messages of condolence. it was expected that 21 days of mourning would be proclaimed.

King Haakon of Norway sent s message to Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mother Mary. The Net'- weglan Parliament held a mem- orial meeting.

News of the King's death came as a great shock to the people of Australia, who were eagerly pre- paring for a visit from his daugh- ter. Elizatbeth,

Prime Minister Robert Menzies announced the news to Parlia- ment and a few minutes later the House adjourned.

In Malaya. after the news was broadcast. only mourning music was played on all radio programs. Movie houses and amusement parks were closed. The Singa- pore stock market will be closed tomorrow.

In Korea a British soldier com- mented: "One thing is certain: the Queen Mother will keep her chin up. so the rest of us can."

In an attempt to learn some- thing about the life history and habits of this insect some preli- minary work was started last summer. Adults were collected in special cages constructed for this purpose so they could be pro- perly identified. The life history studies showed that the adults begin to emerge from the stubble early in .luiy and move to the new crop and begin dC1)08ll.lflK eggs in the stems of the .young plants. Five fields of barley in the Winsloe area were examined for jointworm injury and Line in- fected stalks ranged from 81 to l00'.'5v.

Variety tests were conducted .wlth the cooperation of the Bx- parimental Station to determine if there was any immunity to- ward this insect. There was some gignillcance in these tests and this work will be continued on I more extensive scale next season.

"The people of Canada were pro- foundly shocked by the news this morning of the sudden death of His Majesty King George VI.

"We all realized how precarious was the state of the King's health. but the uniyersal anxiety of three months ago had given place to deep gratification at what seemed to be a rapid and steady recovery. "For Canadians, as for all His Majesty's subjects. the death of their Sovereign will be a personal sorrow. our loyal attachment to the crown has been strengthened throughout the King's reign by our universal admiration for the high courage and the exemplary family life of King George VI.

”To the people of this country who have never forgott?n the visit of the King and Queen 11 1939 and, their many associations with our armed forces during the war. the King was both a great King and a good man. His passing will be mourned not only in Canada and elsewhere throughout the Com-

monwealth but everywhere in the free world." Most Rev. W.F. Barfoot, Pri-

mate of the Church of England in Canada, said at Edmonton today that the King's death has plunged the country "into the shadow of a great bereavement."

Services in all Anglican Chur- ches Sunday will be of a memorial nature, the Primate added.

Prof. Scott Mackenzie, Moderat- or of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, said at Montreal "News of the King's sudden death comes as a personal bereavement to all of us."

Premier Douglas Campbell of Manitoba. said the King's death "is a great loss to Canada. to the Commonwealth and to the world. because the guidance of this man has been sorely needed in these troubled times."

First is the question of the of- ficial titles to be taken by the new Queen's mother and grand- mother.

These are not automatic and will eventually be answered by an announcement from Bucking- ham Palace.

An expert outside the . court said the widowed Queen Elizabeth probably will take the title of

Queen Mother and that Queen "Mary, formerly known as the Queen Mother, will be known

simply as Queen Mary.

it is doubtful tr s4-year-old Queen Mary will take the title of Dowager Quccn or Dowasef Queen Mother, as the Royal Fam- ily is said to dislike them. '

The future title of the Queens husband. Prince Philip. is sonic- thing that will have to be de- cided by Queen Elizabeth herself.

Although husband of the ntw sovereign. the Duke has no stand- yng except by courtesy. As the most recently-created Duke, he is far down in the order of FY3905" ence. .

But if the Queen wants him to be known as Prince Consort, she can command that. Queen Vic-. torla did not give Prince Albert that title until 17 years after ihcir marriage.
