“The Vicar’s Twi. .” Presented U n d e r Y.M.C.A. Auspices To Capacity House.

"The Vicar's Twins." a three act comedy gircsented under the auspices of t c Y. M. C. A. in the Prince Edward Theatre last night, was enthusiastically received by an audience which taxed the seat- ing capacity of the building to the utmost.

The play was under the dis- tinguished patronage of His Hon- our Lieutenant Governor DeBlols and Mrs- DcBlois and I-iis Worship

Mayor Kennedy and Mrs. Ken- nedy. The performance was cleverly

acted and was marked throughout- with action which while moving swiftly enough to be entertaining was slow enough to be thoroughly appreciated. The hearty bursts of applause indicated the pleasure of the large audiense.

Between act numbers were also very well received. They included orchestral selections by Mr. Hairy Gomez and his orchestra. violin selections by Mr. Gomez and the “senior tumblers", an act by twelve girls under the direction of Miss Leila Worthy.

Judge Palmer, chairman of the play committee, who spoke brief- ed all who had assisted 1n making the play a success, the players, the professional men, the merchants. Mrs. Fred Houle, Mlr. Austin ‘Prainor and Mrs. Forrest Slocum, who assisted behind the scenes. and those’ who had helped in the publicity.

The story was based on iarth- day presents. which the gram)- mother of the Vicar's Twins. two lively young girls, decided ‘to give them. One present much more to be desired than the other, was to be a month in London with the grandmother, and the decision as to who was to go was to be left to a. visitor. a young man who was an expert aniquarian. Neither of the girls or the young man was t0 know anything about the arrange- ment. but the Vicar- in an un- guarded moment blurted the sec- ret to one and, being pals, one twin told the other. Very amusing incidents occurred from then on until a. climax was reached in London, when the romance, which evolved had a very happy ending for both girls.

The Vicar was capably played by Mr- Stuart Dickson, who also dir- ecmd the play. Mr. Ian Smith had been taking the part but illness forced him to discontinue and Mr. Dickson took his role at short notice.

Ann, the Vlcarhs wife, was clev- erly portrayed by Miss Vivian MacGulgan and the continued at- tempts of her and the Vicar to explain each others meaning to outsiders provided much amuse- ment.

Catherine and Elizabeth, their twin daughters, was played by Miss Ruth Rattenbury and Miss Marie Arsenault. Both roles were particu- larly well acted.

Mls Ruby MacDougall was I. success as Mrs. ROOlCB-Wfllkfl‘, the grandmother, a very decisive woman, subjectto headaches when things were getting out of hand.

The part Barnaby Haddon, the antiquarian. was well portrayed by Mr. Peter Crichton and his method of dealing with the old fashioned role assumed by Elizabeth very effective.

Byron R0981‘. an eccentric young man with a whisker who later falls in love with Catherine and abandons his assumed role, was very capably acted by Mr. Frank Storey.

The Hon. Monica Plane and Lady Susan Rocker, two London ladies was skillfully an realisti- cally taken by Miss Isa el Storey and Miss Bernadette Gaudet.

Violet a maid at the Vicarage W“ Pllyéd by Miss Hilda. Rich- ardson. and Withers. the man- servanli by Mr. Roy McGillivray.

The musical program by" M; Harry Gomez and his orchestra

was as follows: Cadets," Philip

"High School Sousa. "La Paloma,” Sebastian Yradlor. "Boots and Saddles.” Samuels. Wonderful Waltz Medley, arr. by H. Gomez. ' Mr. Harry Gomez gave the fol- lowing violin selections: Kashmir-i Song, Amy Woodward- Flndon. ' __Parlez-mol d'Amour. Jean Lenoir-

Italian Bob Sled Sta rs

Disqualified

By Louis P. Lullimel‘. Associated Press Foreign S18" (By Guardian's Special Wire)

Germany, Jan. iii-Several Italian bob-sledrlcrs, entered in the Winter Olympics here Feb. 6-16, have been disqualified on grounds of profes- sionalism, it became known today as the German Olympic Committee pored over the list of 1,200 contest- ants—-by far the largest in the his- tory of the winter games.

Several of the Italian bob-sledding teams had planned to use interna- tionally-famed automobile race- drivers as steersmeir, but these have been declared ineligible. Affected by the ruling was Achille Varzl, well-known racing pilot, as well as Count Trossl, Cortese and Brivlo.

In this connection, there has been concern in some quarters over the status of Karl Schaefer, Australia's great figure skater. world and Olympic champion. Although he is registered here as an amateur, word came today that the American Skating Union was investigating the conditions under which Schaeferxs name was used in an advertisement m g, gportlgg goods publication.

A study of the entry lists reveals that athletes between the ages of 11 and 50 will compete in the Olym- pics. Yetsuko Inada, ll-ycar-old Japanese girl figure skater. and Captain Vlahn, German bob-sledder who is almost 50. represent the ex- tremes in age among the competi- tors entered from 28 countries.

Fresh from their recent victory over Junior Rangers. Junior Abbics engage the fast-stepping Royals to- night in a Junior Hockey League engagement at tho Forum. The game should be a thriller. Abbles encouraged by their recent success will be out to make it two victories in n. row and if they succeed in ac- complishing this they will be right in the thick of the fight for league honors. If thcydlaplay the same brand of hockey tonight as on their last appearance they should glvc the league leaders quite a tussle but it goes without saylfls that Chick Williams’ crew will be equal- 1y as determined: they have yet t0 suffer defeat in the loop and are

more than anxious to keep this record intact.
