Dramatic Recital* To Be Given Here

On Friday evening, June It,, *t Arls and Graf Is Hall, W alter B u t­ler O ’Connell, A. M., will g iv e n dramatic reading under the patron age of the Carmel Club of Arts and Crafts.

Mr. O ’Connell is well know n in Carmel literary circles, as lie sp e n t much time here som e years a g o , and took active part in dm inn tic work.

llis readings are entirely from memory.

A letter o f the late Mrs. Eovtsll White, President Emeritus o f the California Club, sat s ;

“ Mr. O 'Connell is d ign ified in mauuer, graceful in gesture, au d his range of voice is seemingly uu limited. He recites and im person ­ates, yet his keynote is s im p lic ity .”

The Rev. Lynn P. W hite, M in . ister o f the Presbyterian C hurch at San Rafael, says:

“ Recently I heard Mr. O 'C o n ­nell's recital, aud I wish to sa c that his work reveals seriousness o f purpose in its selections, m a rk e d conscientiousness in its p rep sra tion, aud intelligence in its in ter protation.”

WEEKLY GREETINGWhen you meet a grouch on the

street, smile at him; i f you meet him in church, sing to him; uthen he is home, feed him; i f he creeps into heaven— hut he wont.

T h e F in is hA town that never has any­

thing to do in a public way is on the way to the grave-yard. Any person who will do noth­ing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to affairs of his town is making the ■shroud. The man who fails to advertise in the local paper is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from public enterprises casts flowers on the grave. The man whose stinginess prompts him to howl about hard times preaches the sermon, and the man who spends every night at home sings the anthem.

-♦ ------Markham’s Apt TributeThe California poet, Edwin

Markham, prefaced his recent tribute to the dean of dramatic critics. William Winter, with a passage from “ As You Like It” —“ A lusty winter, frosty but kindly.”

“ Modernist ” playwrights and commercialist theatrical managers who have felt the lash of the eminent censor will not agree with the poet in thinking of Mr. Winter as

kindly,” but even they will admit that Markham knows how to quote. A well-known writer suggested the correct method when he said that the borrowed words should b e worked into the original ut­terances as flowers are woven mto the web of damask.

Graduating Exercises Interesting

In the presence of County Superintendent Schultzberg, the local board o f school trus­tees and parents and friends the graduating exercises of Sunset School were held last Wednesday morning. .

All the grades went through some form o f entertainment — singing, dancing and drama— and after the presentation of diplomas, Mr. Schultzberg. to the great delight o f the teach­ers and pupils, standardized the school.

On Thursday evening the graduating class was host to a large number of townspeople with a delightful affair.

During the evening, class prophecies were read, as fol­lows:Louis N arvaez

Rehearsals Under Way -Fine Music

Rehearsals are now in pro­gress for two of Carmel’s dramatic offerings to be pre­sented early next month. Al­most the entire cast has been selected for “ Yolanda o f Cy­prus” and “ The Piper,” both to be put on by the Forest Theatre Society.

Those who have read “ Yo­landa” pronounce it a brilliant bit o f work, full o f romance and action. The distinctive Italian setting is something new in Carmel, and the cli­maxes are splendid.

After reading Robert Brown­ing’s poem, one is amazed at the breadth o f vision and the dramatic instinct displayed by •Josephine Preston Peabody, who adapted the poem for the stage. With no disrespect for the poet, it may be said that the playwright makes the poet look small.

Frederick P. Search is at work on original music for the production of "Yolanda” and will also conduct the orchestra for “ The Piper.” He is des'r- ous of augmenting his orches­tra with volunteer musicians. Those desiring to play will see Mr. Search

T he “ D ry” CampaignMrs. M. E. White contrib­

utes the following:“ Have a grand holiday, for­

get dull care on June 17, and join Pacific Grove, Monterey and Seaside in a fine basket

j picnic at the Bathhouse, and Jhear state speakers on the Dry Campaign” is the message the busiest men and women in Carmel are requested to pass on to the next busiest, until all Carmel hears and catches j the spirit of the day.

Mass Meetng Called To Discuss Carmel’s Water Supply

Carmel, with an assessed property valuation of $380,000, is without sufficient fire-pro- tection.

True, we have two good chemical engines, which on several occasions have proved their worth for small fires when put into immediate use. We also have a first-class leg- a 1 1 y organized fire-fighting force of over forty men. These are good but nof adequate. We have also a Board of Fire Commissioners.

For several years, knowing of the lack of a sufficient water supply and realizing the ever­present danger o f a devastat­ing conflagration, the people of Carmel have been very pa­tient. Every effort heretofore made to secure a better water service has resuPcd in nothing but promises a n d excuses.

Two Boards of Fire Commis­sioners have gone out o f office because of failure to induce the water corporation to p ro-

(vide sufficient water. The I present board is up against I the same thing:

To exact, some definite action from the water concern—either a point blank refusal to do something or assurances o f an adequate and permanent ser­vice, the Carmel Fire D epart­ment at its meeting last W ed ­nesday evening decided to put the matter up to the w hole community.

To that end a mass m eeting will be held on Friday evening of this week at Curtis Park on Ocean avenue. Every resident should attend. Speakers fa m ­iliar with the subject will ad dress the meeting, and it may be that some.plan, through the Railroad Commission or otherwise, will develop which will safeguard us against fire.
