Each and every one of the actors did their turn just about right, the end men, Ralph Lunn, Jack Wilcox, Lloyd Walter and George McEnney, Jr., with J. R. Kelly as interlocutor, cracked some good jokes. 

 The vocal and instrumental solos were good. The Rube monologue, "Uncle Bill at Vaudeville," by Jack Wilcox, even made the grouches grin out loud. The program was concluded with a laughable sketch entitled "The Circus."

The bell and bottle solos by Russell Kelly and the cornet duet by Clyde Trask and Enos Nichols were fine.

That Shinglehouse has some good local talent was brought out on these two nights.

Programs were always of the best obtainable, even back in the days of five-reel Westerns, Fatty Arbuckle comedies and Mary Pickford dramas.

The Shinglehouse Theatre was refurbished and reopended in 1939, later acquired by Kenyon Reed and came under the management of the present owners in '49.

Time -- 1912, in late September,
Place -- Mrs. Perrington-Shine's country home about thirty minutes from Philadelphia
Occasion -- A house party at the Lee-Early wedding.
Time of performance -- Two hours and twenty minutes.
 

  The time is five o'clock on a Friday aftrenoon in late summer. The place is the living-room in the suburban home of Dulcinea and her husband -- in Westchester County, within commuting distance of New York.  Gordon Smith, the husband, is just entering into a jewelry merger
and their future depends on the success of this venture. Dulcy, the wife, decides to help her husband put the deal through.

  The scene is the same as in Act I. The time is immediately after dinner, on the same day. Dulcy assures Mr. Forbes that Leach is just the man for Angela, and finally suggests that Leach entertains them with his new play, which he does. Later in the evening Leach and Angela
decide to elope and enlist "Dulcy's" willing aid. Forbes learns of the enlopement and is very angry, telling Mr. Smith that the business deal is off. Schuyler VanDyck offers to help Smith get up an independant jewelry merger to beat Forbes, and Smith accepts. Just as he and Dulcy 
think they have won out against Forbes, a Mr. Blair Patterson appears on the scene saying that he has come  for the supposed VanDyck, who is an imposter.

  The time is the next morning before breakfast. Mr. Forbes arises in an ill mood but is soon cheered up when he finds out about the weakness of Mr. VanDyck. But what of Leach?
Where is he? This is all disclosed by Mr. Parker in his exciting discourse concerning the elopement. And to bring things to a satisfactory close, Mr. Forbes finally consents to Mr. Smith's entry into the jewelry combination for twenty-five per cent.

On Friday evening, Dec. 19, the high school Glee Clubs will present a pleasing little operetta "Love Pirates of Hawaii" with Lionel Dodd as the heartless, fearless, fiendish pirate chief and Charlotte Slaughter as Miss Primer, an old maid school teacher and you will more than agree with us that love in such an Hawaiian setting is most unusual. Josephine Haire as Dorothy Dear and Willard Nichols as Captain Billy most ably present the school-girl complex and will amuse you in their vain efforts to see one another. Both couples are very well supported by choruses of Pirates and Hawaiian girls and we know that you will be well repaid for having attended it.
