raps the week gone by has not Leen ag cocially gay as its many pre- decessors, but, withal, there have been a number of delightful and in- leresting occasions in its span. And, these evenis have been varied. There bave heen annual meetings as the various organizations have been con- cluding the year's business, but with these, have come the lighter, and more entertaining, bits of musical programs, bridge parties and drama- tic art. At the same time, prepara. tions and plans have been made for festivities to come. ' Of these, the May Ball which will take place next Saturday evening, May 17, at the Shuttle meadow club, is, perhaps, attracting the most at: tention, as local people are anticipat- ing it with much pleasure, In fact, the | Shuttle Meadow club is the scene of much entertaining, especially on Wed- nesdays as the bridge-luncheons, which in the beginning were a sum- mer custom, are increasingly popu- lar, At this time of year, too, the lure of the open country is very great so that outings of all sorts are much in order, The golf courses are again coming into their own with ear- Iy enthuaslasts going over them. So great has been the interest in | things musical among New Britain people that the Musical club added | an extra concert to its program, giv- ing it Thursday evening at the Camp school. On Thursday, too, the mem- bers of the Rotary club made merry with music and shad at the club din- ner in East Berlin when R. O. Clark was host to the men and to their guests,” To vary the week’'s program atill farther, the “Play's Been the Thing,” with the members of the Athphion club of the New Britain high school | giying a splendid presentation of *The Charm School” Friday evening.

The play it- |Eelf, which was a three act comedy, was well suited, in theme, to the high |school players as it portrayed, for the | most part, life in a young ladies’ | boarding school. As the school is suddenly inherited by a young, good- looking man who undertakes its ac- tive management, more or less assist- ed by four friends, the situation is ex- tremely interesting, especially since he decides to turn the dull academic cur- {viculum into a school for cultivation of feminine charm. As a result, the young ladies prove far too charming tor the good of the school, to say nothing of the havoe wrought in the hearts of their youthful professors. The cast of characters was large, cach part being well portrayed, the players deserving great credit and praise for their clever characteriza- tions. The part “Austin Bevans,” the ,owner of the school, was extremely well done by Charles Covert, while Miss Abeshag Benjamin played “Elise” president of the senior class of the school, charmingly. The irrepressible twi Jim and Tim Simpkins, were (ably played by Robert Christ and | Gustave Carlson. 'David McKenzie, |the budding lawyer, and George Boyd, {an expert accountant, both valuable \friends of Bevans, were realistically pictured by Charles Quigley and Fla- vel Elliott, Chester Trojakowski play- ed the role of Homer Johns, an ex- citable old gentleman, with under- standing of the difficult part; Miss | Carlotta. Sloper was splendid as Miss | Mayes, the stern schoolma’am who | scoffed at the radical change in edu- cation. The young Jladies, pupils in the school, were all delightful, first in their plain blue and white uniforms and, later, in their colorful costumes advocated by the new management, The class-meeting of the striking scnior class in which “Sally,” well | done by Catherine Callahan, makes a winning speech, was a true version of school life, The scenery of the play was attrac- | tive, the stage management deserving much credit. The high school orches- tra gave an enjoyable musical pro- gram before the opening and between the acts of the production. The complete cast follow Austin Bevans Charles Covert An automobile salesman with Tdeas, which David MacKenzie ..
