,MAINDIFF COURT HOSPITAL.I
MAINDIFF COURT HOSPITAL. EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT BY PATIENTS I AND STAFF. I The patients and staff of Maindiff Court Red Cross Hospital on Thursday night gave one of the best entertainments which has been seen at the Town Hall for a considerable time. The proceeds were in aid of the Hospital, a deserving institution which has secured generous-support from the local public since its use as a home for convalescent wounded soldiers. The Town Hall was packed, for townspeople generally were glad of the opportunity of helping such an ex- cellent cause, and they had the double satis- faction of doing so and at the same time getting their money's worth. The way the programme was arranged and carried out was a revelation as to what can be done by enthusiastic amateurs, and the audience were not only agreeably sur- prised but hugely delighted. This was suffi- ciently evidenced by the fact that not a single item was allowed to escape a persistent demand for an encore. Throughout the programme one could not help but be struck with the cheerful spirit 01 tne soldiers and the zest with which they entered into their various parts, just as though they had not been through the horrors of war. The concerted numbers were excellently staged, and it would scarcely have been possible with the materials which were at the disposal of the pro- moters to have made them more effective. Mrs. Blair was a very capable stage manager, and it was easy to see that Q.M.S. Hardisty, who was a professional artiste before he joined the colours, was the moving spirit among the soldiers in the arrangement of the various items in which they were concerned. It is addition- ally creditable that the whole of the theatrical material necessary to make the items so effective was prepared by the patients and staff them- selves at Maindiff. Col. E. B. Herbert, of TrebencyiJ, who is the commandant of the Hospital, presided, and in his opening remarks said that they were all familiar with the Maindiff Court Hospital, and there was probably not an individual present who did not give something to that institution. He hoped they would continue to be as generous in the future to help in every possible way they could the work which was being done at Maindiff. I The concert was got up by the combined efforts of the patients and staff, and it spoke well for the good feeling which existed between them that such a concert was possible. He hoped the audience would give every encouragement to the performers, many of whom had never been on tne stage before. All the patients had been to the front-—(applause)-—either in France, the Balkans, or elsewhere, and 23 out of the 28 were leaving on Saturday, when they would, no doubt, be extremely glad to see their relations and friends. He wished them every good luck and a fine time. (Applause). The patients gave, as the opening chorus, Here we are again," which was an appropriate introduction. The song pictures Sweet and low and My ain folk," which were also give by the patients, were admirably conceived numbers. In the forefront of the stage were the soldiers lying about in groups, playing cards, writing or reading letters and engaged in the usual occupations which fill their spare moments at the front. Through a screen of galize at the rear of the stage one saw the pictures of home life which would cross their memories as their thoughts turned to their native lard. In the first picture, illumined by a circle of limelight, was the mother rocking her babe to sleep and evidently thinking of her husband braving untold dangers far away. In the second picture were the old Scotch parents sitting down tu their evening meal, and there was no need of words to see that they were anxiously thinking of their boy who had gone to tight for his Kimr and country. The old man scans the evening paper and sees something there which is bad news. His wife puts on her spectacles to read it, and for a few moments gives way to silent tears. Then she pulls a letter out of her pocket, the last one she will ever receive from her boy, and reads it again with loving care. It was a moving spectacle. The singing of the soldiers and the limelight effects made these two numbers very realistic, and the audience would fain have had more. The concerted item Who killed rag- time ? was a humorous item which the patients made the most of. and the audience were 'jr<itlv amused. The choruses "The Goose-step. The Watch on the Rhine," and A little bit of Heaven," were also admirablv done. O.?!. Hardisty, who has an excellent voice and knows how to use it artistically, gave the excellent songs Drake goes West," and "rp from Somerset," and encores were inevitable. Miss Mather- J ackson was also encored for two well- selected songs, Court favour," and The reason." Pte. F. Greenwood, 7th London Regt., was recalled for a well-played pianoforte solo Reverie," and Corpl. Pretty, K.R.R., and Q.M.S. Hardisty had to respond to an cncore for their humorous duet Lovers' Lane." Driver McGhie, A.S.C., scored a great success with the Scdtch character song Mrs. Jean McFarlane," and performed the role of the im- pressionable and prospective Mrs. McFarlane with much gusto. He did full justice in the quaint character, and his Scotch dialect, as was to be expected, was perfect, but, to the dis- appointment of the audience, hejcould not be prevailed upon to respond. The best item was left to the last, and this was the tableau Songs of our Allies," by the patients and staff. Before a background of national flags was enthroned Britannia (represented by the Matron, Miss Webster, in a dignified and regal manner). Round her were gathered the representatives of Great Britain, attired in national costume. They were as follows :—England, Mrs. Rees, Caeder- wen; Scotland, Miss D. Bannerman Ireland, Miss A. Mather-Jackson Wales, Miss Eleanor Price. Then, to the accompaniment of appro- priate music, entered in turn the fighting repre- sentatives of the Colonies bearing their Hags, and these were followed by representatives of our Allies, all attired in national costume and carrying the national flag. The); ational An- them of each country was sung as the various characters assembled and grouped themselves round the representatives of the British Empire. The following ladies represented the Allies :— Serbia, Miss N. Mather- Jackson; Russia. Miss Elmina Morgan France, Miss Homer Italy, Miss Thomas, Tredilion Belgium, Miss Rout- ledge; Montenegro, Miss Bretherton J apan, Miss Parry Portugal, Miss Hanrette. When all were assembled, a curtain was drawn, and through the gauze screen at the back appeared the beautiful figure of the Angel of Peace (repre- sented by Miss Glendinning), which appeared as a glorious vision. Then Mrs. Blair ap- peared, representing the Red Cross paying homage to Britannia and the Angel of Peace. Her singing of Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory was excellent. Indeed the singing of Mrs. Blair and of Q.M.S. Hardisty throughout. ) was admirable, and added much to the success of the tableau, which was one of the most effective and well staged of its kind which has ever been seen at the Town Hall. The applause which greeted this delightful patriotic picture was deafening, and gave the promoters un- mistakeable evidence that their artistic efforts were appreciated to the full. The accompani- ments during the evening were played by Mrs. Comer and Pte. F. Greenwood. [ ▲
