The scene of Act 2 is Boobhamba's beautiful palace by the lake of Kandy—a glorious stage set of palatial Indian architecture, where one moonlit New Year's eve the Buddhist revels, including a wonderful "devil dance" quite demoniacal in its wild frenzy, is produced with great success in an entrancing crescendo of light and colour, and to an accompaniment of an appropriate, awe-inspiring and inspiriting nature. I Mr. J. O. Jones, London House, is holding a special Saturday Sale of washing Robes and Blouses this week, and residents and visitors to the Bay should not miss this valuable opportun- ity of securing rare bargains. THE ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBITION. --A very fine collection is being got together of ,7, the Arts and Crafts Exhibition to be held in the Infants' School, in connection with the National Eisteddfod. The Committee have arranged for the delivery of two very appropriate lectures, which will serve to enhance the interest and value of the Exhibition. On September 6th, Mr. Edgar Jones, M.P., will speak on Na- tional characteristics and the value of rational ideals," and on September 10th Sir T. Marchant Williams will deal with an antiquarian subject of which he is an acknowledged authority. The aim in view is to further tne growth of a firm art movement in the district, and it is hoped that the Arts and Crafts Exhibition mav prove a nucleus for a considerable development of home industries, arts, and crafts in the town and neighbourhood. During the course of the Exhibition, short lecturettes will be given by experts on the objects of art displayed. We believe that this Exhibition is destined to exert a far-reaching and permanent influence on the home life of the district, and congratulate the promoters upon their breadth of view. The Hon. Secretaries are Mr. Edwin Griffiths, head- master of the Higher Grade School, and Mr. C. E. Elcock, architect, of Messrs. J. M. Porter & El- cock. FOR PERFECT FITTING and Natural-look. ing Artificial Teeth go to Kay and Sons', Ty ilyffordd, Abergele-road, Colwyn Bay. High- class work at the most moderate charges. A GENEROUS ACTION.—Mrs. Venables- Williams, of Argoed, Alexandra-road, the widow of the late Rev. W. Venables-Williams, M.A., J.P., for so many years the respected Vicar of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos, has once again shown her interest in the town by an act of practical phil- anthropy. For some time, Dr. Venables-Wil- liams, J.P., Medical Officer of Health, has been endeavouring to secure a hand ambulance litter for the district. Applications to the Chief Con- stable having failed, Dr. Williams submitted the matter to the General Purposes Committee of the District Council; but nothing could be done, as the Council had not adopted the Public Health Amendment Act of 1907, empowering local authorities to make such a provision. Now, however, Mrs. Venables-Williams has generously come forward to supply a really urgent need. Litters of this kind should be placed in every seaside resort, and we feel sure that the public of Colwyn Bay will feel grateful to the kind lady for her thoughtful act. This, of course, will not in any way interfere with the movement for ac quiring a horse ambulance. The hand litter will be kept at the Police Station, where all the members of the force are ambulance men. CHILDREN AT THE ARCADIA.—For the third time the Pierrots will, to-morrow (Fri- day) afternoon, give the children an entertain- ment all to themselves." And in addition to receiving presents in the form of musical instru- ments,the little critics are to have the opportunity of showing how they can sing in chorus. No bearded bassos will be allowed to disturb the harmony. Armed with their musical in- struments, under the unorthodox baton of Mr. Sidney Frere, the young performers are likely to produce effects of an original character. By request, a musical farce, The Academy," will be included in the programme Last Friday the children's entertainment proved a huge suc- cess. Upwards of 300 toys were distributed, and the special programme submitted proved exactly to the juvenile taste. Mr. Sidney Frere was at his very best as the conductor of the Aero Motor 'Bus," and his humorous topical remarks were greeted with much hearty laugh- ter. NOW ON SALE, a large variety of Real Photograph Postcards of the Royalties, the late King Edward VII., Her Majesty the Queen- Mother's Letter to the Nation, 2d. each.—R. E. Jones & Bros, Weekly News Office, Station- road, Colwyn Bay. HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Mrs. Lyell-Tayler and their son, Mr. Adrian Lyell-Tayler. We hear with pleasure-a plea- sure which will be shared by our readers—that Adrian has been successful in passing the Lon- don University Matriculation Examination, a distinction which he has attained at an excep- tionally early age, as he only reaches his sixteenth year in October. As he is too young for Oxford, Mr. and Mrs. Lyell-Tayler intend to send him in January next to Berlin to continue his studies. Though exceedingly musical, he is not going to follow the profession in which his father has distinguished himself. He is very keen on sport, and has been popular at school in cricket and football, and was also a cadet in the school corps and a member of the military band. Here is his record in brief :-Born in London October 22nd, 1894; entered Clare House School, Mar- gate, September 1902 (Headmaster Wilfred P. Toone, M.A.) passed with honours preliminary Cambridge examination, December, 1905 en- tered University College School, London, Janu- ary, 1906 passed London University Matricu- lation June, 1910.
