PAGE FOUR FINE PLAY ISSTAGED Members of Prince Rupert Players' Club Acquit Themselves With ' Uredit in -The Patsy" The Prince Bupert Players Club scored a floe success in the staging of the rousing three-act farce "The Patsy" In the Moose Hall last night. The only disappointment was the size of th audience. The effortl warranted trie presence of one much larger. With the plaudits of those who saw last might's performance, however, there should be a much bettor house tonight for the repeat performance. It is an entertainment that can be highly recommended and one that reflects credit upon all those taking part. Sev eral newcomers on the local amateur stage made an excellent showing while others who have been seen before acquitted themselves in their usual creditable maner. "The Patsy" is by Harry Cormers. It is one of those little plays which havea heart appeal and arouse one's sympathies. In short, it is the j story of a termagant wife and a Jong suffering husband with two charming daughters. Social ambl tiens nigh wreck this family before a happy ending is effected. The play lend plenty of oportunity for good acting and there were few If any members of the cast who did not play up to their parts. It was, therefore, the more interesting and enjoyable. Misses Tracy Currie and Jean Robertson, cast as the two daughters, one a beautiful though .spoiled blonde and the other a demure brunette Cinderella, shared honors in the feminine roles and both did splendidly in very divergent parts. Miss Norah Rtowtt appeared to excellent advantage as a rather despotic Hotbr and wife. Much devolved upon Miss Rlvett and she did not fail in the role that offered considerable difficulties. Wilfrid Jackson wen the audience in his portrayal of the role of the more sinned against than sinning husband. Mr. Jaekaan fumed and stormed about t the great delight of all He is a decided acquisition to the local Ugo Louis Smith had another of the innoftant' roles that of the-, schemer in real estate and romance and Mr. Smith, too, acquitted himself in bis usual creditable manner. Other ports were taken ably by Tom Tasks. Miss Wllla Dyer and James Farmihar. Altogether, "The Patsy" proved itself to be an uproarious comedy with a heart interest which it would do everyone good to see. The director was Louis Smith and William Mitotan was buhsintss manager. Dainty usherettes, In mandarin costume, were Misses Margaret Ma-guiro, Jean Grieve, Laura Frizzell, Molly Ones, Frances Cross and Dolly Harrison. E. JL Smith was cashier and Douglas Nelson presided at the door. M. J. Dougherty was in charge of make-up. At opening and closing and between the acta, selections were played by Balagnofe Orchestra consisting of Charles P, Balagno, William Beaumont. Robert Oreentield. fL A.

First Baptist .A EXPORT business now provides more than two million Canadians with their livelihood. So vast has Canada's foreign trade become, that nearly a quarter of our population depend upon it for what they eat and what they wear; for their homes, their savings, their comforts and their luxuries. Export trade exerts its beneficence in every Canadian community and on every Canadian farm. Roughly, a third of our total annual production to a value of $1,363,700,000 is shipped to other lands. Per capita, Canadians are the second largest exporters in the world. ON A" solid foundation Because it is Profitable Business, Canadian effort year by year is more actively 'directed towards supplying markets abroad. Our export trade stands on a solid foundation. Our goods are in demand. Last year no less than 41 1 new business agencies in foreign lands were opened by our Trade Commissioners on behalf of Canadian manufacturers and producers. Our exports have become highly diversified. More than 600 distinct classes of commodities are embraced', and the list is ever expanding. Hit DAILY NeKv3 Tut C A M Export, Stands Comparative Figures 1928 and 1929 First Ten Months A perfunctory glance at the export figures of Canada during the past year gives the impression of a general downward trend. Analysis shows, however, that the reverse is true. Due to conditions which no one can control, the export of raw material, mainly grain and grain products, shows a decrease of $70,700,000. But, on the other hand, exports of goods, manufactured or partly manufactured, show an increase of $46,500,000, which is at the rate of 9.4. The trend of the year's activity in export trade is clearly in the direction of increased exports of manufactured or partly manufactured goods, while the export of raw materials , has declmedjconderbly For First Ten Months of 1929 Compared with First Ten Months of 1928 Good, fully or partly manufac- 1928 1929 increase tared (except decrease flour) $470,582,601 $514,985,409 9.4 Other commodities 209,767,048 224,789,418 Wheat 304.170,889 300,310.311 Other grain. ...

' . , The ground is well prepared for still further expansion. Will you take advantage? Canada's 32 Trade Commissioners abroad are constantly drumming up new markets.

PAYNE, Ottawa HOW CANADIANS CAN HELP It remains, however, for Canadians to grasp the larger opportunities offering. Producers and manufacturers can help our export in several ways: 1. Producing the kind of commodities other countries want. 2. Maintaining production so as to assure continuity of supply. 3. Keeping all products up to rigid standards. 4. Becoming familiar with business methods abroad. This is Canada's business. It is every citizen's business, because the more goods Canada sells abroad, the more certain and the more ample will be her continued prosperity.
