Members of the Woman's Auxiliar oF Bt. Mark's ohurch and thelr guests were entertained Thursday evening at the parish rooms of the church by twe plays presented by some of the members and assoclale members of the Girls' Friendly society of the ghurch, The plays were prepared under the direction of Miss Bally Mumason, who has been studying slagecraft for some time, and gave smple proof of her skill both in di- recting and personal coaching of the performers. Richard Harding Davis' one.act play, “Miss Civiligadon,” presented the story of three burglars robbing a house in which & daughter is alone with her siek mother, Miss Doris Wolfe, as the daughter, was sincere- 1; effective, showing full appreclation of the dramatic moments, The Misses Tsibel MeNulty, Mae Post and Lilllan Williams were masterful robbers, the | latter Injecting real comedy into \hl' tanse moments of the little play, Mrs, David H, Maimfeldt, Mrs. Robert Tussell and Miss Mary Wolfe were capable and effective rescuers in their impersonation of members of the “wrecking crew” and the station rgent, wham the daughter had called inan when she knew of her danger, The playlet, “Two Slatterns and a King,” by Edna 8t Vincent Millay, which served as the curtain-ralser, is the story of the faolish King who, be- ing informed by the personification of Chance that he was unhappy because he was not married, began a search for the tidigst woman in his reaim, *hance Interferes with the ordinary routine of affairs in the lives of “Tidy" ‘and “Slut,"” making Tidy most tiovenly for a day, and changing the #'oven into a tidy person, merely by chance, The foolish King, making his rounds of the town, forms.the too- hasty judgment that because he finds Tidy's kitchen in disorder and Siut's kitehen clean, these conditions are habitual. He weds the sloven, think- ing her cleanly hecause she was so, by chance, on that one day, and he turns a deaf ear to the true excuses of Tidy who, for that one day only, appeared to be a slovens™ But it ¥ too late for the foolish King when he diseovers his error. Never more will he form a hasty opinfon, but, nevertheless, he must suffer for this snap judgement all his life. The poetic lines of the playlet, dif- ficult always to charge with proper expression, were delightfully given by the girls of: the cast. Thelr success was all the more refarkable because, as in the first dramatic performances of ancient days, they were not aided lzx scenery or stage properties. “C"hance”, was interpreted prettily by Miss Arline Larson; “Tidy"” delight- fully brought befare the audience in the person of Miss Josephine Elmer; “Slut”, her appearance denying her name, splendidly done by Miss Ger- trude Middleton, ' and the King achieved with®fine dignity by Miss Florence Williams. New Britain people are much in- terested in this evidence of the ability of Miss Humason to whom, as well as to the young actresses, the praise for a really charming dramatic per- formance is given. . . . ‘The ball and reception of the Eddy- Glover post of the American ILegion, attracted about 600 people to the armory last evening where the spirit ofthe occasion, the attractive decora- tions, the splendid music and the gdyety of the guests made the affair one of the most briiliant in the post's history. It is estimated that about 3300 was cleared, this sum to become the nucleus of the funhd started by the post to be used in connection with the state convention of the Legion to|" be held in New Britain-in September. The decorations, completely cover- ing the walls and ceiling of the arm- ory, brought brilliance to the specta- cle. At one end the State of Connec- ticut seal, draped with the American flag, gave dignity to the affair, and at the other end of the hall the seal of the American Legion added a military aspect to the scene, Streamers of white, light pink and blue bunting stretched overhead and home-like, comfditable chairs were placed in the toxes which lined both sides of the dancing floor. Perfectly legal punch and délicious ice cream were available for the hungry and thirsty and the .music of the Rexmere orchestra of 12 pieces, a combination of the best New Britain musicians, enticed dancers to the splendid floor where dancing continued until the early hours of the morning.
