had iheard her broadcast to the Rangers of the Empire knew that It could only have" been delivered by a Guide and one who had a deep understanding of how to Inspire and. encourage the youth of to-day. As Chief Commissioner {for'

. Without being foolishly or


unpractically reactionary he thought all ought to see that In spite of .the- changes that came over human life and. were coming over life in our own country. In spite of the fact that one recognised that many of these changes were necessary and right, there' was, nevertheless, something Iri the patterri of life as It had been lived fo r'm any genera­ tions In the -English village that was worth rentemberlng and worth trying to preserve.


dustrialisation of this country had done a great - deal to destroy, which some were de­ liberately and by artificial means trying to destroy,, but which In spite of all Its weak­ nesses had much that was true and;good and beautiful and valuable |ln It.

Seven Aptors Played Fourteeii Parts


Versatile Company In Satirical Comedy


j^LTHOUGH the weather had an adverse affect om


the size of the audience for the Compass Players’^ presen­ tation of |‘Dr. Knock '’ In the Parish Church School on Monday, the enthusiastic few who brayed the elements) found their expectetions of an enjoyable -evening npt In valnj for they witnessed perfor­ mance of Jules Remains’ satirical cbmedy that was both hlghjy entertaining and worthy of study by amateui groups.


In spite'of the I fact tha t


there are fourteen . characters ,ln this .comedy; only seven members',of the c om p a n j j appeared hn the stage.


Revelling in ithe difficult


task' of ajctlng two or three parts each, the Players showed rare talent for character study and made! each portrait, how'^ ever different, live: vividly Iri its own rlfeht.


. One needed ito look no fur-!


ther than the 'performance of Hedley LUnn for an example! of this juggling with pern


-sonallty. His portrayals of Jean, Mousquet and a country lad were,, exceedingly well done, • although Jean, the chauffeur,; was more remlrils-: cent of Harry Tate than a h . old Frenchman.


' !' . In all fairness, It must bb


added that only one mah attempted! to be a Frenchman


'—Maurice Daniels as Dr. Par-!, palaid—the rest choosing to portray Ehgllsh counterparts of the French personalities. ‘


DELIl^ATE TREATMENT^ Maurice Daniels gave Par-


palald just the right air of old-fashlohed fusslriess-. and the openlrig scene in which he discusses the sale of his prag-: tice with his wife and Dr: Knock WLS notablq for his delicate ;reatmerit” . of . the humorous lines.


. A direct contrast was pro-j vlded byi the character of Knock, played convincingly by John Crockett. He was


s h o w n : as a clever and ambitious man who buys Parpalald’-1 meagre practice and. ultimately develops It Into, a profitable: business through convincing every patient that i

Moira Deady, as Mme. Par­


palald, one of the -few ihemr bers of the company with a single part, was on the stage only In the;, fltst act, but: In


th a t time she showed herself to be an accomplished actress.'


Among the variety of people


overcome by Dr. Knock’s bully-, ing and persuasion is Mme. i Pons, a fashionable but foolish


lady of means whose flirtatious nature .makes hen an easy victim to the doctor’s charms. One could hardly identify the Simpering vanj'ty of this lady with the brisk efficiency of the nurse !seen later In the play—yet both were' in reality Miss Pamela Goodwin,,

Few of the charac­ ters In "Dr. Knock "''make a deliberate attehipt to appear witty, yet the play is such that every character is humorous In Its own way. ; ‘


A feature of:'this remark­ able company -was that they


relied, .on acting ability alone to enchant the audience. They used a . minimum amount of scenery, and; this, whs of. the simplest dnd most unostenta­ tious character.
