86 Tl-IE REVIEW MORTON TI-IE GREAT Continued from page 85 though, how he'd never been able to face the city. Ah, well, some time perhaps -- just then my secretary came in. A gentleman to see you, sir. Thank you, Miss Lansing, show him in. A man appeared at the door. He was hand- some, and boyish in spite of his white hair. Morton, my dear fellow! Hello there! just thought I'd drop in to see you. I had to come to Chicago, and I wondered if you'd put me up. Delighted! I was just thinking about you. Whatever made you come to our wicked city? Morton smiled. lVell to tell the truth, I've come for my daughter. About a month ago I received a letter from her saying that she had lost her husband six months ago in amotor accident. He left her with three children and a fairly decent income, but she is lonely. I've come to take her and the kids back with me. It's great to feel that someone really needs me again. I'm going on to Arkansas, to see my other daughter, in afew days. She's married, too, and they 're having a hard time of it. Now look here, Morton, you haven't got such a fortune yourself. They didn't do anything for you-, I broke off helplessly, for suddenly I realized that, perhaps, in helping his daughters he would Hnd the love which all his life he had been denied.

The character portrayals were very well done. the scenery and furnishings suggested a very home-like atmosphere. The stage crew did their work well. Altogether the play was a great suc- cess and was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. -Gerald TfVya1zl. 2 fe First Year Play On Friday evening, October 19th, some of the first year students entertained their classmates with a play. It was a drama wherein several trusty, but rather young, would-be pirates excavated an unlikely plot of ground at midnight, in the hope of discovering treasure. An old man helped them considerably in their escapade and saw to it that their efforts were not in vain. The cast included Albert Thomas, Gordon Allen, David Kennedy, Conrad Buck, Norman Whipfler, Vivian Grant, Donna Kipp and Margery Madge. The last named executed admirablya rather difficult role, in playing a negro mammy.

THE REVIEW 85 MORTON THE GREAT Continued from page 35 owner of a million dollar house in the Magnetewan, can't afford a crust of bread. Ha, ha, ha! My dear sir -7-. Oh, don't protest. I'm quite all right, I assure you. Used to eat more at one meal than the average man ate at live. My wife used to be ashamed of me. My wife! Ha, ha, that's funny, too! She's in Europe married to Count somebody- or-other. Lord, how she hated me for losing my money. How I laughed at her, and at my daugh- ters! They left me, too. Don't know where they are, don't care. No, no, I don't want to sit down! I'm all right, Itell you, just a little hungry. The man was quite evidently mad, either from lack of nourishment, or else the shock of losing his money had driven him insane. Somehow, I man- aged to get him lying on the couch. All the time he was talking wildly, and laughing hysterically, They used to call me I. M. Morton, the great controller of all the biggest syndicates in the States. Oh well, what's the use? I'm starving now, starv- ing, I tell you, starving! Suddenly, his voice broke, and covering his face with his hands he broke into sobs. His whole body shook with the force of them. I stood help- lessly with my hand on his shaking shouder. After a While he collapsed, exhausted, against the couch. When he was calm enough, I took him back to my friend's house. There we fed him, and put him to bed. -That night, he told us how he had hitch- hiked all the way from Chicago, feeling, somehow, that if he could only get up to his summer place he would feel better. But he was not out of his delirium yet. It was weeks before he was on his feet again. Then came the question of what was to become of him. Don't send me back to the city, he pleaded. I couldn't stand it. The lights, the noise, the traffic. I'd want to get into the wild rush for money again, and I couldn't live through another crash like this. Finally, it was decided that he should stay with my friend in the little Ontario town where he spent the winter, and the next spring return to the Magnetawan to start up a small, private hotel in his own house. We figured that with our capital to back him he could make it a paying proposition. if JIS Pk lk :lf Pl! Pk Pk lk Four years later, I was sitting in my office in Chicago going over some old letters. Ah, here was one from Morton! It was wonderful how that man had improved. He had quite a thriving business up there. The last time I'd been north we had lished and hunted together-great fellow, natural as could be, tanned, clear eyed, and his mouth-it had changed. It was still as thin and firm as ever, but it was rather humorous, and kindly now, where it had been cynical and cruel.

The scenery was cleverly designed by Mr. Buck and the players were directed by Miss MacKinnon. 023 The audience at the second year Party, Nov. 16, laughed heartily as they saw Betty Gairdner, Margaret Grey, Howard Gartside, Darcy Zurbrigg, Cleal Pruner, Bob Cuddie, and Stuart Busby cavort through the melodramatic scenes of They Got What They Wanted. Mr. Smith and his wife, Mary, Howard and Betty, find existence rather tame until they become involved in a jewel rob- bery. Betty Gairdner made an appealing little wife who supplied the moral courage that was obviously lacking in her husband. Howard Gartside portrayed this difficult role Very cleverly to the amusement of the audience. Margaret Grey was almost professional in her entrances and exits. Darcy Zurbrigg made a romantic hero who bravely defied the villainous Bob Cuddie and his assistant, C1ea1Pruner. Stewart Busby held the book. The whole group showed remarkable adaptabil- ity in their rolesg they missed no cuesg they waited for the audience to get the laughsg they behaved naturally and with poise. In fact it will be a pleasure to see this same cast do another play later on. Distinction. . ...I This unique spot provides a new measurement of perfection.
