SPECULA GALTONIA 49 ccDu1Cy99 THE STAFF PLAYERS CLUB HE Staff Players Club of our school presented for their Autumn Pro- gramme, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 21st, 22nd and 23rd, of 1929, the Three Act play Dulcy, by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. This play was one of the very best pro- duced by the Staff Players Club and the audiences every night were loud in their praise of the entire cast. The first act takes place in the suburban home of Dulcinea and her husband. The time is about five o'clock, Friday after- noon. Dulcy's husband and her brother Wil- liam C Bill J Parker are sitting, chatting, in t'he drawing room, Henry, the butler who had been engaged by Dulcy, out on suspended sentence, enters the room. Dulcy also comes in and announces that they are going to have several visitors over the week-end, including a Mr. Forbes, with whom Dulcy's husband is about to plan a business merger. After many hum- orous incidents and tense moments, Dulcy innocently mixes up everything and the curtain falls on the first act. The scene of the second act occurs after dinner, on Friday night, in the drawing room of Dulcy's home. Vincent Leach, a scenarist, one of the guests, falls in love with Angela, the daughter of Mr. Forbes. Mr. Leach is a very enthusiastic yet quite effeminate man and plans to elope with Angela. Bill Parker accompanies them because he knows where a marriage li- cense can be secured. Mr. Forbes is furious at the outcome of events and packs to go home, but is unable to do so because the couple have taken his car. Mr. Forbes practically breaks the merger. Dulcy confides this to Mr. Van Dyck, an apparently wealthy man, who is another guest. He decides to give financial aid to Dulcy's husband. An attornev comes to take away Mr. Van Dyck who had a mistaken notion that he was a millionaire. To add to this predica- ment Henry and Angela's pearls have disappeared. In the third act which takes place the next morning in the drawing room, Mr. Forbes finds out about the departure of Mr. Van Dyck but thinks it is a trap to throw him off the trail. Mr. Forbes de- termines to hold Dulcy's husband to the agreement. Henry returns the pearl-1 and Angela comes back with no one else but... Bill, Thus everything turns out happily. Mrs. C. Knowles as Dulcy gave a splendid impersonation of the character of Dulcy and the audiences certainly ap- preciated her skilful portrayal of the part assigned to her. Mr. Boyd, as a new member of the Staff Players Club proved himself a splendid acquisition and portrayed his role of the young business man, in an excel- lent manner. Mr. Hamilton in the role of the irrit- able Mr. Forbes played his part to per- fection. Mr. MacLennan as the effeminate Mr Leach, Mr. Elton as Schuyler Van Dyck, and Mr. Appleyard as the rejected lover, greatly pleased and interested the au- dience, as did Miss Dorothy Biehl as An- gela, who was very charming, with Miss Pooke very ably taking the role of Mrs. Forbes. Mr. Hambly, as the attorney, and Mr. Stuart as the peculiar butler, fur- nished surprises for the audience. The scenery and the splendid lighting effects added much to the reality of the play and the Staff Players Club are cer- tainly to be congratulated on their splen- did production. MAXIMES Celui-la est riche qui recoit plus qu'il ne consume, Celui-la est pauvre dont la depense ex- cede la recette. 4. -1. .y. ,,. .,. ,,. A quoi correspondait cette generosite?

50 SPECULA GALTONIA c A Resume of the Literary Society HE Literary and Musical Society is one of the most prominent student organization in the school. It was or- ganized with the purpose of teaching students self-reliance, to fit them to take part in public affairs, to educate them, and to bring to the fore the talent of the individual. To this end the Literary So- ciety has endeavoured to have as many students as possible take part in the pro- grammes. To overcome t'he average per- sons stage-shyness, a competition has been established among the three departments of the school, namely: Commercial, Tech- nical and Collegiate, for the best One Act Play staged by students. The assistance of an advisory committee comprised of five members of the Staff, Misses Carter, Rheder, Ruddick, Messrs. Boyd and Elton has been of great help to the executive of the Society, in bettering their programmes. At these meetings the School Orchestra has been quite an acquisition and its ser- vices are practically indispensible. We have had numerous vocal, violin and piano solos, and several very attractive dances. Some of the musically inclined boys of the school formed an orchestra under the leadership of Dunc. Mclntbsh, the cos- tumes and contortions being quite an in- novation and oh-how our hearts fluttered when we heard that male quartet. Splendid genius has been shown along Literary lines. Great credit is due to the students of form 3a, who have so ably helped in the production of programmes. Miss Carter's efforts were greatly appre- ciated when she undertook to produce a French Play, the parts being taken by the girls of this form. Under the capable di- rection of Miss McLachlan, the boys por- trayed exceptionally well the funeral ora- tions over the dead body of Caesar. Formerly, Literary Meetings have been held every two weeks, but after careful consideration it was decided to have only one meeting a month, from three to four o'clock, and the department which pre- sents the best play will be awarded a pen- nant. The first of three plays was given in February by the Commercial department, under the direction of Mr. Boyd. It was a one act play, consisting of three scenes, entitled, The Worthy Master Pierre Patalia the Lawyer. The characters were well portrayed and the play afforded much amusement. This was considered to be an excellent beginning and we feel there will be a keen competition between the three departments of the school if the Society could only have the interest and co-operation of every student. The Literary and Musical Society is solely a student activity, and it is our privilege and duty to raise its standard higher by oiering our services and talents for its betterment.
