On Wednesday night the Char- lottetown Corps definitely shelved the ghost ol’ the past year in an en- tertainment presented to an ap- preciative audience, who registered their emotions according to the many tcmpcranie represented in the crowded hall. With Mrs. Major W. B. Stevens in the chair, the pre- liminaries were soon dispensed with. The curtain rose at 8 p. m. reveal- ing a stage setting bathed in opulent radiance. A quartet antit- led “The Old Rugged Cross" was. sung with a. wealth of symphonic expression; the crux of which was reverence. while the three play- ettes, “The Christmas Greeting," "The Matrimonial Advertisement." and the “Girl Who ls Always Lats" by the juveniles, were repeats oi the Christmas concert. They were ra- ceived with equally as much ac- claim as the new casts. The "Drill" and "The Spirit of Christmas" drew forth a round oi deafening applause which was a tribute to the real- vtic performance of the artists.

Mrs. Major W. B. Stevens obliged wvitli a recitation entitled "The Queen's Gift," and few elocutionists possess the clarity and wraith of expression with which this was ren- dered. Lois Whitloek, s, juvenile songster enthralled the audience with "A Happy New Year", and the two stringed instrumental numbers by the String Quartet brought forth round upon round of applause. An Octette by the Corps, officers and comrades was greatly appreciated by all. The culminatingscens "The Dying of the Old Year." was receiv- ed with a silence which could al- most be heard. Tha setting depic- ted the Old Year on his deathbed charging the Little New Year with a wealth of duties for 1936. was truly a solemn scene and as the Old Year passed away, a star appeared in the East casting its scintillating rays upon two beautiful angels, whose wings giinted with ever- changing hue._ lillrs. Major W. B. Stevens narrated the story while the artists resurrected the shades oi an almost extinct dramatic art, This rang down the curtain upon a very enjoyable entertainment presented to a very tolerant and appreciative audience. The entertainment com- mittee extended their thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Richards, the accomplished pianist, who contribu- ted greatly to the success oi the programme, and further especially to Mrs. S. Crockett, whose untiring efforts and patient consistency in

crux oi the successful entertain- ment. Also to Major W. B. Stevens for the beautiful lighting effects Wllleh Synchronized so well to the individual setting oi every scene. (Patriot please copy)

(Following is the last of two ar- ticles by Thonias '1‘. Champion of The Canadian Press London Bur- eau, written on a trip through dis- tricts made familiar to Dickens readers by the Pickwick Papers).

By Thomas T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Writer (By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON. Jan. 3.—An author oi today who wrote about a hotel as Dickens did about the Great White Horse Inn at Ipswich would promptly get a writ for libel. It was at the Great White Horse that Mr. Pickwick had his adventure with the Lady in the Yellow Curl Papers. Piekwickian incidents such as this are being related now with new gusto as the l‘ Peliowshi; prepares to observe in March the centenary of the papers’ publica- tion. ~ '

Moving from Rochester and Cob- ham, scans of the Brill Hotel and Leather Bottle tavern immortalized by Pickwick, the traveller finds the Great White Horse retaining its "bewildering maaeof passages and staircases." but the fare provided today in food-drink and bedding is all one could wish.

Over the main door is still "the statue oi some rampacious animal with flowing mane and tail, distant- ly resembling an insane cart-horse," but it is many years now since the inn-yard was roofed in and conver- ted into a lounge.

Upstairs, though. you will find the “Pickwick bedroom," with its two four-poster beds with their curtains, the room also furnished with rllshr. bottomed chairs. just as when Mr. Pickwick couldn't get his nightcap oil’ in the presence oi the middle- agad spinsterl People from all over the world who coma to the Great White Horse ask to be givenflMr. Pickwicirs room." ‘ ,

Bury St. Edmunds contin- ues to deserve Dickens’ description of it as "a fine old town." The im- Dosing front of the Angel is much as the great author knew it. and be- fore it ‘is still the broad sweep of roadway up which the stage-coach would rattle, to the tune of the guards horn. The hote looks across a goodly stretch of ass to the ruined abbey.

The massive Norman tower is in a remarkable state oi preservation and one of the finest peals oi bells in all lhigland- This tower now forms part of the Anglican Cathedral, the diocese of St. Ed- mundsbury and Ipswich being carv- ed out of that oi Norwich in 1913. Alinmt adjacent is the magnificent church oi St. Mary. one oi the larg- est and most beautiful in England. its history utretohin over l8 cen- turics. ~

In George Yard, oil’ Lombard Street. there remains something oi the George and Vulture Inn, where Mr. Pickwick took up lodging after he left Mrs. Borden's in Goswell Street, and where the Pickwickians were served with subpoenas in Bar- dell v. Pickwick.

Modern insistence for more room for the surrounding banking house! has reduced the George and Vulture nowadays merely to an old-time chop-house. and for the same res- son even this‘ relic oi the "very good old-fashions‘- and comfortable quarters" which Mr. Pickwick and Sam Weller knew so well will prob- ably disappear bcfore 1936 is out.

Across the Thames are two other famous Pickwiclrian places. Lant Street, in the Borough (Southwark), still assesses many of the 18th can- tury small houses such as were there when the Pickwlckians at- tended. Mr. Bob Sawyer’: bachelor party. The character oi the ten- ants, though. is certainly vastly im- proved.

The galleried Whiteliart Inn, when Mr. Pickwick first encounter- ed Sam Weller, has long disappear- ed. but hard by it the George Inn. with its galleries overlooking the inn yard. and in all its details much as it was a. hundred or even two hundred years back. The late Ind

The services in the house and at the grave were conducted by the Rev. W. A. Pater- son of Cavendish. assisted by Mr. Orsborne oi New lnndon.

Youth can still have its fling in Canada but not at the expense oi adults in business deals, according to a decision handed down in a Prince Edward Island county court by Judge C. Gavan Duffy.

It all cams about because oi a legal battle over a silver black fox. Cusack, the defendant, nearly 19 years 0f e89. lllllphnsed a female fox from McGee, the plaintiff. He ieruseu payment on the mend! that, ha was a,“ infant and till? therefore the contract was voidablc. But Judge Duffy decided against him finding; "The law in regard to infants‘ contracts has been irred- ually giving way to a common sense. view of the facts."

Commented learned editor R. M. Willes Chitty oi the fortnightly law journal published in Toronto Thursday: ‘Any thinking lawyer must welcome McGee V. f‘ ‘ for two reasons, first for its dem- onstration thot the common law is alive u. the changing needs c!

Sweeping Bill Intro- duced Into House - Heated Debate Ex-

t pected. '

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-With three differing neutrality proposals already before it, the United States Congress tonight headed into a heated dispute over the extent of discretionary authority that should be given the President in embargo- ing war materials.

All the measures proposed a permanent mandatory prohibition against shipments-of arms and munitions to warring nations to

replace the existing temporary ban, but there the agreement end- ed.

Chairman McReynolds (D.,

Tenn.) of the House foreign ai- fairs committee, asserting his blll was "satisfactory to the adminis- tration," proposed giving the Pres- ident the widest authority in de- ciding under what conditions the shipment of abnormal quantities of non-munition materials should be restricted.

A short time later Chairman Pittman oi the Senate foreign re- lations committee offered a bill also tagged as having administra- tion backingwhich he said would require the executive lo impose normal quota shipments on all belligerents if it was found that non-munitions purchases were be- ing diverted to military uses.

Upon such a discovery, the quota order would become mandatory, Pittman said. However, other stu- dents oi the measure said they felt it would give the President far greater leeway in imposing export quotas than Pittman "contended.

Later in the afternoon Rep. Lud- low (D.-Ind.) introd ced. the most drastic bill ciall. pon the out- break of war‘ between foreign na- tions it would forbid United States exports or loans of any kind to them and like the rest would im- pose restrictions upon“ Americans travelling on foreign ,lvessels.

Still another blll will be intro- ducecbMonday. This one-drafted by Senators Nye (R.-N.D.) and Clark (D.-Mo.)—'would impose rigid mandatory provisions on the executive. - .
