BETHANY GIRLS OF FIRST T PRESEYTERIAN CHURCH PRETTILY
PERFORMED CHARMING PLAY EEFORE LARGE AUDI-
ENCE IN PRESBYTERIAN HALL LAST NIGHT.

The concert of the Bethany
Girls last night was a splendid
success. Everyone was surprised
at the delicate shades of emotion
delineated, ranging from the ex-
cited girlish love affairs to the
pathos of life’s darker trials, but
lit up all through by the irresist-
ible humor of Ashrael, the work-
house waif. Time and again the
house was convulsed with laugh-
ter and applause. Fantine played

to perfection the part of the
dainty French maid, while Mrs.

features which distin-
the play were Clem, the
Gipsy, and the Twins. The Twins
were sweet and acted their
parts so naturally that they cap-|
tured the audience, and when)
Clem appeared everyone was}
caught in that mystic spell and

 

thrilled by the intensity of the
acting.

The hall was packed to the
doors, while even to those stand-
ing at the back the whole was

perfectly audible.

_eredit is due. to Mrs.
Chisholm, who arranged the show
and who was chief councillor for
the girls throughout their prepa-

ration. Between acts and also
during the twilight scenes softest
music was played by Miss Froud,

assisted by her brother on the
flute and Miss Barker on the
violin. The appearance of Miss

Barker after her long illness was
hailed with gladness by her many
friends present.

The drama was given under the

auspices of the Presbyterian
Club. The president, Mr. Ellis,

performed effectively the part of
stage manager.
