Unlike the former Theatre GuiJcl offering, "The Dust of the Earth," which portrayed the stark tragedy of human loneliness, the play given last Friday night was a lively rollicking comedy with plen ty of swift-moving action and char acter portrayal. The marital difficul ties of Mr. and Mrs. John Craig were effectively interpreted by M. j W. Gordon and Miss Katherine Weathers. Their good resolutions! were often cracked — not to say j broken, but they were always re- j paired, and in the end they were kept safely—that is until the next quarrel, §. H, Pennington, as Justin ^Hollins who enjoys p°or health gave a very realistic performance with! Frank Goldsmith as the efficient phy-1 sician to help him, and Miss Mary; Margaret Giles as his patient, long suffering niece. Virginia Gilkey as the gold-digger made a valiant, and eventually successful, attempt to capture the wealthy young man, Pat _yick McCormick, the latter part be ing taken by Carlton Gilkey very excellently. The wise cracks of J^ura Nesbit, as given by Miss "Grace Mary Justice were a promin ent part of the play, as she tried to bring peace and harmony to the oft quarreling Craigs. Guyon Whitten j gave a masterful performance _of J the young man who knows exactly i what he wants—and exactly how to j get it. Last, but most certainly not; least, comes the faithful maid who i can always be depended upon to keep the secrets told her in strictest ""confidence. This part was splendidly portrayed by Miss Debs Henderson with inimitable grace and skill. The very appreciative audience that enjoyed this performance will be awaiting with great interest the announcements of the next offering of the Little Theatre Guild. The Junior Woman's Club spon sored this play for the benefit of the fund for the Community Club house. The members of the high school hon or society served as ushers. CROSS SCHOOL KEEPS CHRISTMAS IN SONG AND CHEERFUL GIVING The Eugene Cross School closed for the holidays Tuesday, Dec. 19. Each room had a Christmas party, after which the entire school assem bled and sang Christmas carols. The children for the past two weeks i "have brought food, toys and clothes for the needy. These articles were delivered by the children and from their expressions one could readily see "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Buy Christmas Seals. Fight tuber culosis. v'J'- •••' .•• • J "' : ' ' ♦A Star of Hope* £J"""]WENTY centuries ago a brightly-shining star led the J shepherds on the hills of the Holy Land to a little house in Bethlehem and to a realization of a new spiritual power that had come into the world. That star still sheds its light over the world and at this time of year man lifts his eyes to it and the glow from it kindles in his heart that fire which we know as the Christmas spirit. This year the Christmas star shines more brightly than ever before for it is a star of hope. Behind us lie the dark years of depression and defeat, of fear and foreboding, of ■economic disaster and social disorder. During the past year we have come up from the valley of gloom and started once more to scale the heights toward the light. The star of hope is leading us on to a richer life, richer in spiritual values as well as material values. Let us keep our eyes firmly fixed on that star. Let the gloW from it warm our hearts with the true spirit of Christmas —with charity, with kindness,with friendliness, with forgive ness, with forgetfulness for the past and hope for the future. Let us join together in keeping the spirit of Christmas alive in our community not only on Christmas day but on every day of the year; let us support community enterprises, foster a stronger community spirit and make our com munity a better place in which to live. To that endeavor the encouragement, the aid and the leadership of your Home Town Paper is pledged by THE PUBLISHERS COLLEGE SET COMES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Many of the young people of Mc Dowell attending college have alrea dy arrived for the holidays; all will be at home by the end of the week.
