—PRESENT PLAY — The C.Y. ML. dramatic players presented the farce comedy "The Whole Town's Talking" in St. Paul's Hall, Tirvsday evening to a large audi- r-nce. Thcy are repeating this per- formance toxilght. This isthe first straight drama staged by this pop- ular dramatic group for two years and it was enthusiastically re- ccivcd by the audience. The scene of the play is in a small middle wcst town where Chet Blurry, who is such a blank, is having difficul- tlcs in his love affair with Ethyl Simmons, the daughter of his busi- ness partner. Mr. Simmons, who is sponsoring the match, has decid- - cd to build up a reputation for Chet so that he may be able to compete with his rivals for Ethyls hand. chief among whom is Roger Shields a sophisticated college friend from Chicago and Paris. S0. Simmons manages to spread around tho town a story that Chet has had o, love affair with Litty Sythe, a famous cinema. star. This goes over big with Ethyl who thanks that Chet must be a man of the world and they become engaged. Suddenly Lltty Sythc arrives in town to appear at the local theatre and with her is her fiance a very

jealous former prize-fighter who. nears the story, believes it, and decides to beat Chet up. But trouble net-tr comes singly and

from then on Chefs troubles pile up. This story is a riot of laughter right. through and the superb per- formances of every member of the

scene. Of course Chet is successful in the end. But the manner in which he extricates himself from

dark a a scenp so runny that some of the people who saw it last night are laughing yet. The leading male role, that of.Chester Binny was magnificently portray- ed by George Clow, who directed the play. The part opposite, Ethyl Simmons, was played by Yvonne Arsenault, who fitted into the role in a very natural manner. William Cameron an old-timer and an old- fnvourltc persanatcd Henri’ 51m" mons.

SOME FUR COATS "DONTS"

For the woman who wants to keep her fur coat in good trim here are a few "don'ts".

Don't neglect minor rips and wars; have them repaired imme- diately. Don't hang your coat on the radiator when it is wet; let it dry at a normal temperature. Don't. keep your coat hanging in a hot cupboard next to a very wzrm wall. Don't sit on your fur coat (or long periods of time. Don't carry your b" gonstantly undar your arm when it rubsagainst the fur.

Writes "and Acts As He Likes It Has Public T00

NEW YORK, Dec. iJ-Noel Cow- ard, the British playwright and actor who is on Broadway just now with a repertory of nine one-act Plavlets. admits quite frankly that s: carries no "tcrch” for his pub-

"I think my public is old enough to be told, if they can bear it, that I have no message for them," he

told the press recently. "1 don't, write deathless dramatic master- pieces. I just want them to be a lttle amused, pleased or moved, the way I myself am, nothing more."

Mr. Coward's playlets, which de- ughted London last season, packed theatres in Boston and Washington before reaching New York. Miss Gertrude Lawrence upholds the ma- jor feminine rues. Besides writing words and music, Mr. Coward acts in all nine, has directed them and is the producer.

If his previous visits here may be taken as criteria, Mr. Coward's presence will be felt far outside the confines of the National Theatre on 41st Street. As a writer in the New York Times phrases it: “The whole of Manhattan from Longacre Square to Margaret Pembertons drawing room and the bar at the Colony, will take on a. brighter hue with Mr. Coward's arrival. For not. in the theatre alone is he a potent and stimulating influence, but, as .he most envied and incredibly suc-

cessful young man of the Englsh- speaking stage, he is very much of a figure in urban society as a whole.

"No festival, rout or communal Morris dancing is complete without uis presence and the Winter Pal- ace of Gothcnr ls automatically lo- cated at Alexander Woolcottfis town JDUSO which he has retried for the mason."

Mr. Coward relates many amus- ng anecdotes of the clays when he nus acting in child parts with Eng‘- Jsh road companies. In those trav- els he poked up a wealth of local color and acribes much of his skill as an actor to tne training he then received under a gfca. comctnan who was later to bccomc Sir Char- .es Hawney.

When he was i2, the company was playing the Pullaulutn in London with a show called "The War in the Air" rclaccs lVflr. Coward. "I. was a spectacle in more ways than one." In the opcnuig scene, as a cuzuy-haircd youngster, he tirnyed: "Please, dear God, make mc grow up to be an aviator.“ Later in the play he climbed into a prop air- pnne which was supposed to fly magnificently off into the wings with Coward at the cuitrols.

“Nine times out of _lU," he sky's. "it flew into the stalls and I hau t0 be retrieved from under 0 d lud- I .es' feet and from among their shopping bundles. Family one day it flew quite out into the uurktor- ium and I hung there for two hours before they could cut me clown from the railing around tlic ectgc of the- drcss circle . That finished the show!"

Mr. Coward declared that the present piaylcts have been written, scored and acted entirely for his own pleasure. “Naturally its grati- fying that other people have fun a‘. them, too," he added. "I'm- be it from me to scorn apppusc. I'm Just as vain as any other actor and um crazy about it."

Rebuild Homes Lost In Fire

CALGARY, Dec. 9~<One week af- ter forest flames had destroyed ranch homes and buildings causing loss of $200,000 to Bow Valley ran- chers, rehabilitation plans moved ahead rapid y.

Aided by a news-paper relief fund, lumber was obtained and transpon- ed free to the disaster-stricken dis- trict and an immediate start made on the rc-building of destroyed homes.

The firc swept a 100.000 acre dis- trict Thursday, November 19. On November 26 timbers for the first home had been placed early in the morning; and, with volunteer car- penters and Joiners at work, by nightfall walls had been started. By mutual agreement the ranch- ers, in a race against wintry weath- er, agreed the home of Arthur Cocl- en, 10 miles. southwest of Ccchrane, should be re-built first. Other homes will be started shorty. Coelen, who with his wife and i2

his ranch, suffered property loss of $9.000-

"I can hardly believe it's true," he said as he busted himself with hammer and saw aiding the vol- unteer carpenters. “It locked like a hopeless proposition. Today our new home is under way and best of all it won't have a mortgage on it"

The wall of flame which raced down Bow Valley, which he wit- ncssed from a hillside, brought back war memories to Coelen, a veteran of the 10th Battalion Canadian Ex- peditionary Fbrce. "It reminded me of the barrage that was put. over on the morning of April 9, 1917, when we took Vimy Ridge except that the noise of guns was absent," he said. "r got my family in the old car. Three miles away we stop- ped and looked back. Our house and barns. were in flames."

The cash fund has grown to more than 82,000. Lumber companies have given generous price reductions and transportation companies supplied trucks without charge for the 35 mile trip from Calgary. Furniture, bedding and kitchen utensils were also donated in large quantity.

our Trade And ’ Fox Buiness

Mr. Justin Rotter of Paris. France, addressed prominent fox breeders at the regular meeting of the Sunglo Fox Club on Monday night and gave them sound advice as to the type of fox required and the fur situation in general.

'I‘his ls the fourth season that I have been buying Silver Fox pelts in the office of Mr. B. Graham Rogers, Summerslde. Ovur that per- iod of time certain changes have taken place, both from the stand- point of the fur market and from the standpoint of the ranchers pro- duction. It ls not possible for me to tell you how to breed foxes but I think I can truthfully tell you the kind of fckes that you should breed, and I am very sorry to say that the average quality docs not seem to be improving. The first year I came to Prince Edward Island there were many fine skins of good size, well marked, and with a fine strong texture to the fur. and the colour which is so extremely important was much better by quite a bit than we see today. The second year the quality was still fairly good but not qlllte so good as the first year. The third year the average quality was Gillie bad from two standpolnts “"5 9010111”. and secondly there was a decrease in the depth of the fur. This year there is a very slight 1m. Drovcment in the average quality of the colour, but there are many terribly bad and extremely undgslr. able types of pelts being offer-ed, JQWBVBI‘. there is an improvement, 1115 vqar by a number of the ran- chcrs 1n their general quality over last Yea-r. but, when we consider last year the average quality was so V911’ P0011. flfiileclally for colour, you must. rcauzc that there is an enor- mous room for improvement yet to 911k‘! Dlacc. In my opLnicn there are .00 many low grade medium and dark silver types of foxes, and this type of low grade slvers is very difficult to sell.

Ranchers must realize that the mfllvrlty of silver fox pelts today ‘"9 129mg ltsed in the ~fur trade for trunming purposes, and for this purpose tlzvc-quorter and pale 5.1- vcr skins wt h goozl co our mark- HIKS must be secured, cznsequentiy the low glauc 12:1 c shuns w.l. br ng the rancher much more money than the low grade dark type of pelt, Lhcrcfore, it scams to me essclLial that breeders produce both for the sake of the fur trade and for their own sake more three-quarter’ and pa e sllvcry skins. I do not mcnn to sayythat there is no market for the flnci type of medium silver and dart: silver skins, became there is u good market for the good skins or. all colour phases, and I am quite coirvmccd that there will always be a gcod market for the choice skins no matter of what colour tihasc. What I do wish to imprcs: ilpon you is that, as it seems so difficult to raise specimens of any colour phase that the bcst policy to Pursue from n general ranching practice StdlltlpOlllt is to increase the irumbei" of thine-quarter and, full silrcrsiu your ranch, because the average quality of those co.0ur 111111505 Will bring you much more money than the darker phase. From ivhat I have seen here during the past four years it locks to me as if it is much more difficult to raise with a clear colour the darker types than it is the more silvery types, and another item is that, there is a much wider market for all types of the silvery colours than for the other types.

One of the dangers of the Sliver Fox business is the possibility that if the average quality is not im- proved, and the quantity of skins coming on the markets of the world continue to increase, that the aver- age price of Silver Fox pelts may decline to a point that would be un- profitable for ranchers. I think that if the total quantity of silver fox pelts going on the markets of the world can be stabilized at around

ciurent totals and the average qual- ity marketed increased that it would be wonderful for the ranchers and for the fur trade of the world. The silver fox fur is today a. world wide article in the fur trade and an ar- ticie with very many highly desir- able features, but I would like to tell you very frankly that you must use the extremest possible measures to improve your average quality.
