HOT % BUNS [~ PLACE YOUR ORDER WITH YOUR GROCER NOW _ CHILDREN'S ACTING DELIGHTS AUDIENCE Youthful McAll Thespians Present Pretty Playlet “The Wishing Well,"” a play by Anna Harnwell adapted from “John Martin's Book,” was presented yester- day afternoon at the Camp school au- ditorium by and under the auspices of the New Britain Children's, McAll. The youthful players charmed the au- dience which filled the hall, from the moment Master Billy North swept his piamed hat gracefully from his yellow head and admonished his hearers to “Gt others think; don't sel be for that's the way to live happilee," until the close of the piece when the same veung gentleman declared that “the children of the McAll had tried to please them all," and made a delaycd exit, somewhat to his discomfiture but enthusiastic applause. Preparation of the playlet under the supervision of Mrs. William Dalzell with the valuable agsistance of Miss Bertha Chamberlain who had charge of the costuming and artistic decorations, and Miss Grece Manning, whose piano selections throughout the action of the play wove harmony into the whole entertainment. At the conclusion of the perform- ance Mrs, Dalzell, Miss Chamberlain and Miss Manning were presented with large clusters of swegt peas in appreeiation of their kind services, the flowers being carried forward by Miss Frances Sloper and young Ma ters Erwin Sloper and Alfred Fish. Children Are FEntertained. Miss Whittlesey later entertained the young actors and actresses who had appeared in the cast, and those who had assisted at the performance and in its preparation, at the Shuttle Meadow club where ice cream and cake were served, the occasion being the first birthday of the New Britain Children's McAll. Opportunity was taken by Miss Whittlgsey to thank the children for the splendid work they have done in helping the Mission's activities in France. There was taken in from the sale of tickets to the entertainment approxi- mately $192, and from the sale of candy $37. The young salesfolk were the Misses Jane Rattenbury, Kvelyn Swift, Elizabeth ~ Weiant, Natalic Case, Elizabeth Kimball, Em Sloper, Alice Brown, Augusta Da sons and Mary Schultz The Play Opens The play opened with the in the vicinity of an old farmhouse, with the old well, the children learned later “wishing well” the spirits of would grant a wish if made cripple while drinking of its water, adding attraction to the spot. The singing of the birds was heard as the curtain opened to disclose Carl, naives ly portrayed by Fritze Twitchell, amusing himself with his ball. After being joined by Nell, Grace, Peter and Frank, played by Miss FFay Rat- tenbury, Miss Patty Dalzell, Richard Cooper and Hoyt Pease, Carl lost his ball in the old well.

Later it was shown that the youthful king did not enjoy his job. Wishes Are Wasted Patty Dalzell's wish for a million dolla though prettily made, brought her no greater happiness, for in came the two aunts through whom she inherited the money but who de- manded much of her. The Misses arbara | ns and Polly Pease | made the characters real indeed and | conducted their unhappy niece away with well simulated protests on her part, | About this time Carl inadvertently { wasted his wish, bringing real acting {10 play in his disgust, by wishing that | his lost ball would be returned. 'rml‘ ball dppeared from the old well, but | the ball was a small thing compared to what he might have had. Richard Cooper, too, was careless about wish, for his desire for “more Kids to play with" was quickly granted, much to his well pretended disgust The Unselfish Wish It remained for M I'ay Ratten- bury, as Nell, to make the beautiful wish which pointed the moral of the play, and it was with the dainty act- ing which characterized her work all through the paylet that she wished for the return to strength of the crip- ple Cacl. For this one wish “without through the playlet that she wished by the Water Sprite, Miss Ella Sloper, great and lasting happiness would be hers. In incidental characters in the play- let the work of the Misses Doris Mer- win, Helen Bennett, Virginia Hall and Adelaide Bean, and Messrs. Henry Pasco, Paul Rogers and Richard Por- ter was in keeping with the charm- ing character of the whole affair. Their singing was sweet and the in- cidental “business” prettily done. “Well Nymphs” Charm The “Ten very little Nymphs of the Well," so daintily led by the Water Sprite, Miss Klla Sloper, were de- lightful in their ingenuous charm They flirted outrageously with the audience as they appedared mysteri- ously from out the well and danced across the stage to their places or as they marched and flitted through the steps of their dance. Bright ra of sunshine were the little Misses Cynthia Warren, Prudie Pease, Bar- bara Frisbie, Virginia Merwin, Doro- thy Kinsella, zabeth Hatch, Jane Judd, Sally Dalzell, Jeanette Case and | Clara Mitchell, “‘Soldiers” Make a Hit And then there were the severe,| austere soldiers under the brave lead- ership of Winthrop Warren whose dignity could not be destroyed though the heavens fall. 'Round the stage he led them, brave men all—Cariton Loomis, Billy Atwood, Jerry Hart, Wellets Young, John [Parsons, Judie Pease, Petie Kimball and Ross Gil- patric. They marched and counter- marched, lendigg dignity and the at- mosphere of war and strong men to the beautiful spot where the charm- ing nymphs of the well had danced, where thé children had played and sung and where all had learned through the sad experience of those who had wished selfishly and the joy of her who had thought first of an- other, the true happiness that comes from unselfishness. Master Henry Pelton was property manager. To all the young thespians should go much praise for their hard work in perfecting the ®ntertainment, given, as all their work is done, for the sake of the small wards of the ap- ac- his | _ | ity that might not present itself again.
