Cast Of Last Night’s Play

llapaoity House Attends Oily Hospital Play

Playing before a capacity house at the Prince Edward Theatre last night. the three-act comciiv play entitled "Hold Everything"

sponsored by the St. Charles Aux

iliary of the Charlottetown I-lus- pital, went over with astounding success in a performance whicr. was nothing short of professional. The group of actors and actresses made up entirely of local talent, performed before Lhe footligii‘... like veterans, and carried out their characterizations to such per

fectlon that they literally took the audience into the play with them on a round of hilarious situation.- whlch nearly brought the roof down on the house.

Everyone went through their ports in such a realistic mariner, that it would be next to impossibre to single out any individual per- former. All through the play the players showed the result of the hard study and attention tiiat thev must have put. in regarding stage manners, gestures and facial ex presslons, which did much credit to themselves and their director Ml‘. J. Austin Trainer, C.D.A., who has been instrumental in directing so many fine plays here in the

ast.

In addition to this splendid three-act pin_v, the evening ivas made a complete success with the presentation of some particularly entertaining CCLWGOII-lfft opeciol- ties which included vocal solos oi Betty Jane Bccrs, character songs of the Gay Nineties by J. Austin Trainer, dainty top dancing bf.‘ Mary Arsenault, popular harmony songs by the P. W. C. girls’ quar- tetto (Marie Jenkins, Bathing. MacDonald, Donalda MacLeod and Shirley Dalzieli zind the persona. appearance of Lomon McAuioy and Chester Cooper, two ioca= radio artists. lll ll. medley of hill

billy songs, and last but. not least. the fine music of Don ivlesser and his Islanders who provided the music throughout the entire shou.

All these artists received rounds s.‘ warm applause from the audience, and were called back to the foot

lights time and again to give we.‘ deserved encores.

At the conclusion of the 5900064 not, Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllan, 0.3.2., gave a. short. but effective BdCIFCS: in which he thanked all the per- formers for their splendid showing. and expressed his gratitude, ou behalf of the st. Charles Auxiliary and the Charlottetown Hospital to the attending public for their fine support.

In addition to the evening pcr- formance, the show iius also stag- cd in a matinee performance ir. the afternoon, for tiic benefit o2

City school children, which met with the same WIIOIOIIEIIYLBII op proval of the audience, as tliev

ll. S. Milk Plane Lands At 0h’town

For the second time in a iveek I. U. S. Air Force plane from Har- mon Field. Newfoundland land“ at Charlottetown yesterday in- stead of Summerside and suyplies of milk, eggs iind other dairy sup- irfibs had to be sent down by truck. The reason for landing at Char- lottetown is that the action of frost has caused some slight dam- age to certain sections of the run- ways at Summerside and the Am- ericans had been advised by the H. C. A. F. that the airdrome hsd been closed w R. C. A. 1"‘. planes and anyone using lt. would do so at their own risk. However, Aldri- time Centriil Airways are ustii; the port every day for their sciieiiuierl flights, with the approval of the Department of ‘Transport, and they report that there is no risk to pilots who are familiar with zhe :teld.

Yesterday Lieutenant Lindsay of U. S. Air Force came up to Sim- merside and inspected the field to make a report to his command- ing officer at Harmon as to whe- ther he considered it safe for them to continue using the field.
