Amateur Theatricals at Old Colwyn. A very successful entertainment in aid of the Old Colwyn and District Sick Nursing Associa- tion was given on Wednesday and Thursday in the Assembly Room. Both evenings the hall was crowded to its utmost extent, an excellent pro- gram.me having been arranged by Dr. Maurice Davies and the Misses Davies, assisted by Mr. and Miss Pendlebury. The object of the Associ- ation is to secure the services of a capable nurse to minister to the wants of the sick and needy of the parish, who are otherwise unprovided for, and to supply them with nutriment and other necessities. The Vicar (the Rev. John Griffiths) is President; Miss Pendlebuory, Treasurer, and Mrs. Richards, Secretary. The opening item was a pianoforte solo, well executed by Miss Mack, after which the world-famed Bigaphone Band conducted by the illustrious Herr Schmidt rendered The soildipers in the park." One felt glad for the sake of the artistes that the soldiers were in the park rather than in the hall, but nevertheless they played the martial air in ex- hilarating fashion, which left no donibt as to their good intentions.. Herr Schmidt, most re- nowned of conductors, is worthy of more than passing notice. It must be confessed that he is rather startling in. appearance, and when the gaze first rests upon him one is lost in wonder- ment and awe.. Not only is his cranium adorn- ment worthy of Paderewski, but the vigour and fire he puts into his worik would make Sousa blush with eniVY. Besides being an accomplished m-uisician!, he is a vocalist of high merity, and Caruso. may soon have to look to his laurels. It is some time since we listened to such an en- trancing rendering of The Church Parade," with which, accompanied by the band, he obliged as an encore. The Misses Mellor and Owen gave a very graceful skirt dance, and were warmly applauded. Charlie Bray, attired as a daughter of Surariy Italy, sang Antonio in the most approved music-hall style. He was vocifer- ously encored. The character song, Three old maids of Lee," represented by the Misses Albutt, Liddell, and Heenan, assisted by Miss Davies (who sang sweetly behind the scenes), Messrs. D. Heenan and F. Albutt, was deservedly en- cored. Charlie Bray sang A Yorkshire girrl in a way that brought forth unstinted appLause, and there -can, be no doubt but that he is a very clever youngster. A comedietta, A wire en tanglement," afforded much amusement. Char- acters Thomas Highbury (assistant editor of the Union Jack"), Mr. James Sinclair; Crisftabel Tomlinson (our own correspondent of "The Tiara"), Miss Prys Davies; Josiah Spragge and and Millicent HicklS (shorthand writers), Mr. F. Allbutt and Miss Kempthorne. Mr. James Sinclair and Miss Prys Davies are evidently no novices in the art of acting, and were well supported by Mr. F. Allbutt and Miss Kempthorne, the former's, role being especially mirth-provoking. The Bigaphone Band played Bedtime at the Zoo," and in the course of the piece we felt that living behind iron bars would not be without its coanpen sat-ions could one but be lulled to sleep by such sweat mucic. We wonder can. this be one of Herr Schmidt's own compositions ? He gave still further proof of his vers.atilii,ty by acting, in the latter part of the piece, the, role of the dying Boer. Needless to say, an enooire followed. Thel Misses Fraser were encored for a pretty Welsh dance in cos- tume, and Chanlie Bray gave another song, being again recalled. The,-cl-vief item of the programme was then reached. It wais a farce entitled "Iron Alnn." The scene was laid in Duffy's flat, the characters being :—Andrew Duffy (a newly-mar- ried man, impulsive), Mr. Stuart Woodhams; Ross (his wife, pettish, spoilt), Miss. Gainor Davies; Amelia Habbijam (his aunt, fussy, precise), Miss Whitle; Jimmy (his black but- tons), Mor.,F. Allbutt; the Iron AIlln (a mechanic- al domestic), Miss Take. Throughout the play went with a swing Mr. Stuart Woodhams gave a clever interpretation of his part, andMcies Gainoir Davies, who is quite an accomplished actress, was excellent. Miss Wlhitle was the typical maiden aomt of the popular idea, and Mr. F. Allbutt was decidedly fuony as Jimmy, his antics causing pealsof laughter. Mr. All- bultt had a busy evening, butt he acquitted him- self creditably on every occasion. Miss Take (if. she really is a miss we are quite Miss Took, for we think the name a Miss Print), showed remarkable intelligence and energy, but, alas! her exhibition only goes to. prove that the ser- vant problem is not to be solved by mechanical inventions. The audience was most apprecia- tive, and at the close the characters had to come fOlrVlnard to acknowledge the applause. Miss Mack was a most efficient accompanist. In the course of the evening Herr Schmidt was presented with a magnificent bouquet by Miss Kathleen Heenan, and the youthful 'comedian, Charlie Bray, was presented by Miss Ella Browmsiword with a large box of chocolates. The Misses Liddell, Heenan, and Browmsword were most indefaitigaible as programme sellers. The following gentlemen acted as stewards: Messrs. S. Pendlebury, H. O'Connell, J. L. Ward, Robert Jones, W. P. Conway, and Edward Davies. Selections on the gramophone were renderred at intervals by Mr. H. O'Connell. The Chairman on the first evening was the Vicar, who also occupied the position on Thursday owing to the unavoidable absence of Mr. Ham- metrsley Heenan, J.P. Dr. Maurice Davies and the Misses Davies were heartily thanked for having so kindly arranged the entertainment, which was an undoubted success. It is certain that a goodly sum will go to the Association as the result of the admirable efforts of all who took part. LEGATO.

Clerk submitted sixteen letters from head teachers of schools in the district in reply to the circular letter sent them eiaquiiring what hours, if any, were devOltõd to the teaching of English grammar. It appeared.that.no time was de- voted to exclusive of instruction in this subject, but it was taught with literature and composition. Mr. ,H. E. Pritchiard moved that the Com- mittee draw the attention of the Denbighshire Education Authority to the matter, and ask them whether it would be advisable for English gram- mar to be taught as a separate lesson in the higher standards. The Rev. R. Roberts seconded, and Mr. E. H. Mililward licartily supported the motion, which was carried unanimously. A letter was read from Mr. H. E. Griffiths, headmaster Off the Higher Grade School, Col- wyn Bay, astking that leave be granted for the pupils to condluct rehearsals of concerts on the school premises as n former years. This was agreed to. The remainder of the business was of a routine character.
