Death of Mrs Griffiths, Trecynon.
Death of Mrs Griffiths, Trecynon. We regret to record the death of Mrs Margaret Griffiths, Pantglas, Trecynon, which occurred on Friday last. Though 74 years of age she enjoyed fairly good health until a few days before her death. On Wednesday week she was in Aber- dare, when she visited Caecoed, the re- sidence of her only surviving brother, Mr L. N. Williams, J.P. She contracted a cold, and pneumonia set in, which ended fatally. She was the only daughter of the late Mr William Williams (Carw Coch) and Mrs Williams, and was a native of Trecynon. At the time of her death she was the oldest member of Hen Dy Cwrdd, and was the first to be married at that place of worship. She leaves five sons and two daughters, and the sympathy of the community goes out Í10 them in their bereavement and to Mr L. N. Williams and family.—At Highland Place Church, Aberdare, on Sunday evening the preacher, Rev. E. T. Evans, Carmarthen, referred to the bereavement suffered by members of that church, and a vote of condolence with the late Mrs Griffiths' family and with Mr L. N. Williams and family was passed, all the members of the congregation rising to their feet. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. The weather was exceed- ingly stormy, but a large number came together to pay the deceased lady the last tribute. The various bodies and works, with which the sons were con- nected, were strongly represented. The Aberdare Council officials were present. including Col. T. Phillips (late clerk), Mr D. Llewelyn Griffiths (present clerk), Mr Owen Williams (surveyor), etc. The Cambrian Lamp Works had suspended operations mid-day, and the employees, almost to a man, attended the obsequies. The Bwllfa collieries officials were represented by Mr D. R. Llewelyn, Mr W. M. Llewelvn, Mr Waiter Llew- elyn, Mr Edward Pugh, Mr Gomer I Jones, and a number of overmen and firemen. Hen Dy Cwrdd deacons, viz., Messrs Levi Phillips, Ebenezer Davies, John Davies, John Evans were in at- tendance, as well as" a strong muster of members; also members from Highland Place Church. The ministers present were:—The Revs R. J. Jones CU.), Hen Dy Cwrdd; J. Park Davies (U.), Pontypridd; J. Cararra Davies (U.), Cefn; W. S. Davies (C.), Llwyd- coed; J. Morgan (C.M.), Bryn Seion, and J. Grawys Jones (C.), Ebenezer. Among the general public we noticed: •Messrs H. H. Evans, Cilfynydd; R. R. Davies, late of Cwmanian; Gomer LI. Thomas, J.P., Merthyr; Councillors M. J. Harris. Thomas Lewis, T. Walter Williams, and Walter Williams (Pen- tre, Rhondda); Messrs J. Edwards (auctioneer), W. R. Morgan (solicitor), David Davies (builder), A. Roberts, Park Lane; James Berry, Ilityd Williams, Hugh Thomas, D. W. Price, Morgan Morgan, W. H. Williams, E. Morgan, David Jones, E. Jenkins, etc. The Rvs. John Morgan and R. J. Jones, M.A., officiated at the house, and J. Park Davies; J. Cararra Davies, and J. Grawys Jones at the graveside. The chief mourners were:—Messrs Edward Griffiths, Lewis Griffiths, D. R. Griffiths, G. Griffiths, and Taliesyn Griffiths, sons; L. N. Williams, J.P., brother; E. LI. Humphreys, son-in-law; Ernost and R. D. Williams, Emerson Williams. Trevor Williams, David Richards, Crumlin; D. Gibbon, W. $ Llewelyn Gibbon. Trcharris; David J Thomas, Mountain Ash; William Moses, 0 D. Moses, Nantgaredig, nephews; J. t Roberts, J.P., Treforest; J. P. Charles, and Willie Charles. A large number of floral tributes were received, and also numerous letters of condolence. i V
Grand Theatre, Aberaman.
Grand Theatre, Aberaman. The Chocolate Soldier," which has brought its fortunate composer, Oscar Straus, more in fees than any musical play ever written, has been described as the most wonderful comic opera that the stage has ever known. The eulogy is none too extravagant, as the crowded and appreciative audience at the Grand Theatre on Monday night will be ready cordially to attest. Its popularity. we know, is not confined to one country or indeed to one continent. Originally produced in Vienna, it afterwards drew all London and the provinces to the Lyric Theatre; it conquered the Yankee in New York, and then went on c t?,uui1?hal t°ur through Australia, South Africa, Canada, and India The music and libretto of The Chocolate Soldier are, of course, maialy re- sponsible for its phenomenal popularity. There is indeed no music like it; and the average musical play which has so enslaved the theatre-going public of late jears is shoddy, shallow stuff com- R™, ripe, luscious quality of tne Chocolate Soldier" lvrics. There is a vivid colouring in Oscar Straus's score that harmonises perfectly with the whole character of the play and its picturesque setting. No better company could be wished for than Mr George Dances-the name itself is a sure guar- antee of excellence. But the all-round success of the production on Monday night was so abundantly evident that the play is certain of quite record houses for the remaining performances —wet or fine. The entire characterisa- tion was brilliant and convincing; the exquisite vocal music was rendered by two or three of the best singers that have ever been heard in comic opera in Aberaman, and the dressing and mounting contributed handsomelv to sparkling scenes of life and colour.'Miss Edith St. George, who appeared as Nadina. and has an exhausting part to play, scored an unmistakeable success, the purity of her singing and the piquancy and vivaciousness of her act- ing being very marked. With Mr Aubrey Millard as Lieut. Bumerli, she figured in some of the most attractive numbers. Mr Walter Heal as Alexins Speridoff sings his part with abilitv. The acting honours were shared bv the three named and by Mr W. P.* Morgan as Popoff, Miss Melba Sharratt as Aurelia, and Miss Elsie Craven as Mascha, and the whole company played up to the principals with splendid verve and re- sourcefulness. The magnetic charm of the music was paramount, however, and fhe whole house was thrilled by the My hero" refrain and the world- famed waltz. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr Myles Hold (leader, Mr A. Phillips) are particularly good, and rendered the music with balanced judgment. The company is under the able management of Miss Marie Becken- ham. The opera is staged with the good style and smartness usual to the Grand rJ. heatre. This is undoubtedly the most successful company travelling, and the management are to be congratulated in bringing (for the first time in the valley) so popular and fashionable a play.

Dewi Sant at the Schools.
Dewi Sant at the Schools. (Continued from Page 8.) Cwmdare Schools.—At the Mixed School several patriotic songs were sung and recits given by the children, and addresses on St. David, the Welsh nation, and the Eisteddfod, were de- livered by the teachers. In the solos competitions Thomas Morgan and Mil- dred Howells won. For the Welsh essay, Richard Buxton was first and D. J. Parry second. Brushwork, Cyril Rees. Sight singing, Nelson collier.— At the Infants' School an address on Dewi Sant was given by Miss A. Mor- gan, headmistress. Welsh Fairy Tales were narrated by Misses M. Jenkins, E. Williams, and Tegwen Rees. A song was given (in Welsh costume) by Annie G. Saunders. Recits, David Robert David, Edryd Davies, W. Hobbs. Song and dance by L. Jenkins, A. M. Davies, M. Parry, and F. Miles, all in Welsh costume. Several Welsh airs were sung. Park Schools.-At the Park Boys' School, Mr. John Griffiths; late head- master of the school, delivered an ad- dress to the children on Friday. After referring to Dewi Sant and his work— Cunedda's efforts to secure the unity of all Wales, and his failure—and the suc- cess of his great-grandson Maelgwn in uniting all to withstand the invasion of the Picts and Scots, the Saxons and the Angles, he dwelt upon the great bene- factors of Wales, viz., "Gerallt Gvm- ro," Griffith Jones, Thomas Charles, Vicar Pritchard, the late Lord Aber- dare, Sir Hugh Owen, Tom Ellis, Dan Isaac Davies and others. He referred specially to the career of Dan Isaac Davies. headmaster of Ysgol Comin from 1858--1867, and Sub-Inspector in the district from 1882—1887, and the great work he did to facilitate the teaching of Welsh in the Elementary Schools of Wales. He sacrificed much of his leisure hours and at last his life in his endeavours to secure its proper place to the teaching of Welsh in the schools. There was a very fine crayon drawing-large size—of Dan Isaac Davies in a prominent position at the school. The spirit which animated Dewi Sant to do all he could for the education and uplifting of the Welsh people had animated others at various periods since the sixth century, possi- bly the greatest of those were Vicar Pritchard and Dan Isaac Davies, both natives of Llandovery. While the names of Cunedda and Maelgwn had all but sunk to oblivion, the name of Dewi Sant acted as a bond of union to all Welshmen throughout the world that day. Recitations were given by Morris Morgan, David Jas. Evans, Glan- ffrwd Williams, David J. Medlicott, and Anthony Morris. Mr. W. T. Roberts, headmaster, gave a "Message to the Welsh Children." Addresses were also given by Messrs. E. R. Jones, H. Wil- liams, and D. G. Davies. In the story competition the winners were: 1. Em- rys Wilson; 2, Johnnie Edwards.
