Atkinson 8: Switzer. “ UNDER TW'O FLAGS.” The annual entertainment in con- nection with the. Fire Brigade was held in the Masonic Hall on New Year‘s evening and attracted a large audience. As the principal feature on the programme. was the production of a drama, more than the usual degree of enthusiasm wasaroused. The play, “ Under Two Flags,” from Ouida’s cele- brated novel, proved unusually inter- esting, and the. company of perform- ers underthe direction of Mr. H. N. Shaw. the Principal of the Dramatic School at. the College of Music, made a most favorable impression. A de- scription of the play is unnecessary here, sufiiire it to say none of the four Acts were destitute of interest, every Act wasinvcsted with a. goodly share of comedy or tragedy of more than ordinary interest, and, as might be supposed, the drama contained a. charming love story. MI. Shaw, as Bertie Cecil, was of course the star of the evening. and proved himself admirably gifted for filling the role of the leading personage. He was ably supported, however, by several skil- ful actors who played their parts with much vigor and brilliancy, and are de- serving of unqualified praise. (Jhicf among the support was Miss Louise Proctor who took the part of Cigar, ette, the " Friend of the. Flag.” From thc time she appeared in the second Act until the fatal shot was fired she. kept up the interest, and every move- ment was rendered with a dash and vim that could not but be admired. Mr. Frank Kennedy made. a. good Lord Roekingham and Mr. L. Anthea as Black Hawk, convinced the and xnce that he deserved the knock-down low administered to him by the Life Guard. amused the audience in the love scenes with Rake, but the, funny man of the evening was Mrul'ule who act- ed an Irish Knight of the Pigskin. His humorous and pithy speeches were all good, and a unique sketch given in . front of the curtain between two of the Acts was thoroughly enjoyed. As mie‘ht be expected a few of those who tutfii part lacked individuality, but on . the whole the support was satisfactory and the company is well able to chal- lenge comparison with the best organ- izations of its kind in the province. Miss May )Iawhinncy who was pretti- ly attired, and who has a magnetic personality, was in good voice, and her Songs contributed between Acts, The hall- was. delighted her" hearers. taxed to its utmost capacity and should Mr. Shaw and his pupils again visit this place it will be necessary to secure a larger building.
