The Rhondda Leader

Giifach Goch. We heartily congratulate Mr. Robert Naunton Morgan, eldest son of Dr. D. Naunton Morgan, Gilfach Goch, in pass- ing his Intermediate Law Examination held at London last month. Mr. Morgan is articled to Mr. J. H. Cross, of Messrs. Harold Lloyd and Cross, solicitors, Car- diff. At the Evanstown Council Schools on Friday evening of last week was held a social in connection with the Gilfach Goch United Rugby footballers. A large num- ber sat down to a bounteous repast. The tables were tastefully decorated, and laden with good things. Games and dances were indulged in, and, needless to say, all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The quarterly meeting in connection with Bryn Seion (W.C.) Chapel was held on Sunday evening. Mr. Richard Mills, superintendent of the Sunday School, conducted in a very able manner. Solos and recitations were given bv the junior and senior members.

Porth. Palm Sunday was gloriously fine, and especially favourable to the procession of Sunday School scholars of St. John's, St. Paul's and St. Luke's, who. headed by the Cymmer Colliery Brass Band, under Mr. G. F. Martyn's conductorship, paraded from St. Paul's via North Road to Britannia, afterwards returning via Hannah Street to St. John's Church for a special service at 2.30. Collections were made en route for the Porth Cottage Hos- pital and Cardiff Infirmary (per special collecting boxes kindly lent by Councillor W. T. Davies, Brynbedw) and the offer- tory at the service was devoted likewise. St. John's was packed, and a very hearty service was gone through. The preacher was the Rev. D. J. Thomas, B.A., curate of Tonyrefail; the Rev. W. Thomas (vicar of Porth) read the lesson, and the Rev. R. J. Martin (St. Paul's) intoned the Sunday School liturgy. The massed choir, under the conductorship of Mr. William Boundy, gave a very creditable rendering of Caleb Simpson's anthem, Trust in Him always "j soloist, Mr. Alf. Jenkins. The organist was Mr. Edward Evans (St. Paul's), and a section of the Cymmer Band joined in the accompaniment. The turn- out of the Sunday Schools was a magni- ficent one, over a quarter-mile long, and the pretty banners wantoning in the breeze, the beautiful strains of the music —from the choice selections of sacred adaptations which Bandmaster Martyn always has in store for these occasions- all these were inspiring. It was also very gratifying and encouraging to see the bystanders and cottage dwellers along the route dipping their hands into their pockets with pleased alacrity, and bestow- ing their donations in the best possible spirit. Quite a substantial amount should accrue from this special effort. The Salem Young People's Society is constantly catering interesting and varied matter to its members. Last Thursday, Miss Edwards (sister of the Rev. John Edwards, pastor) read an excellent paper, entitled The Zenana Mission in India." As a result of the very real portrayal which Miss Edwards gave of the woes of the poor and crushed women of India, the missionary spirit was rekindled in the good ladies of Salem, and they resolved to collect funds to aid the mission. A committee was banded for the purpose. The paper was afterwards discussed by Messrs. W. Harris, Frank Evans, George Bowen, T. Watt Rees, W. Evans (John Street), and the Rev. J. Edwards. The chairman was Mr. J. Lewis. A most interesting lecture on Egypt was given in the vestry of Porth (W.C.) Chapel on Wedneslay by Mr. D. Evans. Aberdare. Material effect was given by some excellent lantern slides, which admirably illustrated the subject matter. REFRESHED FEET! Sounds strange, doesn't it?

Gelli. On Saturday, the 4th inst., a most successful tea was held at Bethany (C.M.), Geül, in connection with the children's Band of Hope. The members of the church very kindly supplied the eatables. The tables were finely decorated, and the spread consisted of all the niceties that money could buy. The following ladies presided at the tables: —Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Day, Misses Leaky, Bum- ford, Davies, and Thomas. Following the tea was an entertainment given entirely by the members of the Band of Hope, with the Rev. J. W. Matthews, president of the Band of Hope, in the chair.

Evans, Willie Lewis, Owen Bumford, Kate May Evans, Gertie Davies, Charlotte Wigley, Leona Kinsey, Bessie Davies, Lizzie Tanner, Jennie Mills, Annie Mills, Edna Mills, Maggie Wigley, Sarah M. Edwards, Martha Mantle, and Messrs. Dd. Mills, Madley, and Evans. Master Walter Stephens, in a very able manner, presided at the organ. Mr. David J. Lukey, a young musician of great promise, wielded the baton in an excellent fashion. The chief item in the programme was the presentation of thirty books to the mem- bers of the Bible Class for diligence in Bible study. Mr. Will Madley proposed a hearty vote of thanks to all that had helped to make the tea and concert a success, seconded by Mr. Joe Newell. A most enjoyable meeting was then brought to a close by singing the Doxology. DOES your husband growl at the Coffee in the morning. Our Coffee will be sure to please him Try it.

Wattstown. A smoking concert was held at the Wattstown Hotel on Saturday, the 4thi inst., the proceeds of which were to be handed to Mr. W. Mainwaring, who has been incapacitated from work for many months as the result of a serious injury received at the Lady Lewis Colliery. Mr. Mainwaring was but recently discharged from hospital.

Jenkins (Eos Penar), Mountain Ash; Mr. Moses Jenkins, Tylorstown; and Mr. Thomas Davies, Wattstown. Mr. Robert Rees, the well- known manipulator of the whistle, evoked loud applause. Mandoline solos were con- tributed by Mr. J. Webb. Comic songs were rendered by Mr. Haydn Rees, a reci- tation by Mr. Holman, and Mr. J. Fudge proved a good descriptive vocalist. The aole accompanist was Mr. J. W. Phillips, Aberdare. The chair was occupied by Mr. D. Holman, supported by Mr. T. Jenkins, Porth. The concert was held under the auspices of the R.A.O.B.

Trealaw. On Thursday last, at the Salvation Army Barracks, a children's concert was given by the English Wesleyan Juvenile Choir, Trealaw, the book rendered being Little Folks at Play (W. S. Roddie). The concert was held by special request from the Salvation Army, as the previous performance was so successful at the Ynys- cynon Chapel. On Wednesday evening,, the 8th inst., the members of Seion (C.M.) Literary Society sat down to a sumptuous evening tea. The tables had been tastily arranged, and were heavily laden by the luscious preparations of the lady members. The chairman tor the evening was the Rev. M. H. Ellis, the president of the Society, who has all along thrown himself into the movement with great heartiness. The first toast of the evening, Croesaw i'r imwelwyr," was proposed by Mr. D. J. Jones (Emporium, Tonypandy), and secon- ded by Mr. Joshua Martin (Trealaw), to which the Rev. J. Arfon Jones (Dinas) happily responded.

Dinas. Last Saturday evening, Sunday and Monday, yearly meetings were held at Ebenezer Chapel. Large and appreciative audiences attended each meeting to hear the excellent sermons delivered by the Revs. J. Gwynoro Davies, Barmouth; and Robert Roberts, Colwyn Bay. Thirty- three years ago, Mr. Davies delivered his first sermon at the old Ebenezer Chapel. At that time he was schoolmaster at the Tai Schools. A large number of his pupils in those days came from far and near to listen to his elevating discourses. Good pupils have always a warm corner in their hearts when grown old towards a good schoolmaster. He was a strict discip- linarian, and thorough in everything he undertook to do, and many of us were pleased to see him so full of life and energy, and delivering his excellent ser- mons with such vigour and clearness. It is a pity that some mortals are affected by the length of their days.

It is interesting to note that P.S. Brue is the instructor of the first, third and fourth squads. Aber- gorchyites in general are greatly indebted to the sergeant. He has worked laboriously, and, happy to say, successfully, since the commencement. Messrs. Archibald Skym and Robert Thomas discharged the secre- tarial duties. The Treorchy Football Team "whacked" Tom Williams' (Llwynypia) international team on the Treorchy Athletic Grounds on Thursday last by 18 points to 7. Un- doubtedly Treorchy deserved to win. They distinguished themselves in every position. Last week's meeting of the Treorchy Literary Society was devoted to a mock police court proceedings, when Mr. C. Goldman was defendant in a case brought against him for breach of society rules. Mr. W. D. Evans prosecuted, his junior counsel being; Mr. R. C. Austin, and Mr. W. J. Jenkins defended. Mr. D. L. Short acted as judge. Many witnesses were called, and at the end His Wor- ship could do nothing better than dis- miss the case. A social was held at the Ynyswen Schools by the infants' teachers on Friday evening last.

School Attendance. Churches Circularised. Realising that the holding of singing festivals, annual Sunday School treats, &c., have a detrimental effect on the attendance at the day schools, and the consequent serious financial loss which is thereby entailed to the district, circulars have been sent to the various churches throughout the Rhondda to appoint re- presentatives to attend a conference which it is proposed to hold at the Porth Independent Chapel on April 28th. The Committee quite realise that these gatherings and events are necessary, and are of opinion that the serious conse- quences referred to could be greatly reduced if an understanding could be arrived at that such gatherings and events should, as far as possible, take place on the same day.

Dr. C. W. Botwood, D.Sc., Ph.D. Investigates the claims of DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Dr. Chas. W. Botwood, D.Sc., Ph.D., F.R.S.L., F.R.S.A., Gold Medallist and Double Silver Medallist (Lond.), writing from his residence, 74, Micklegate, York, says Having had my attention called several times lately by mv friend Dr. Chas. Forshaw, of Bradford, to many remarkable cures effected by Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and having personally investi- gated the same, I am now in a, position to state that as a safe and reliable remedy 1 for loss of flesh and vigour, nerve affec- tions and bodily weakness induced by < deficient assimilation of beneficial food i products, Dr. Cassell's Tablets appear to < be unique, and I have no hesitation in < recommending the same to heads of t families as a, really trustworthy household ] remedy for young and old." < For nervous prostration, anaemia, ] debility, stomach troubles, paralysis of the 1 nerves, heart weakness, kidney troubles, i and nearly all forms of nerve and bodily weakness, Dr. Cassell's Tablets are un- squalled.

» Amusements. I Falace, Porth. A particularly attractive bill of fare is submitted this week. The Six Aeolians make a sextet of refined vocalists and graceful dancers; a charming turn this. The "Original Lady Major," Miss Katie Moore, justifies to the full her mannish sobriquet. She is a clever songstress and an admirable male exponent. A fascinating pair are Newco and Sullo, the boys in red." They can sing and foot it with, any extant. One of the big turns of the show are the Fimans, in the comedy creation, The Fire Station." An excel- lent well-thought-out sketch this, with plenty of sensation. The show is completed by Capita's Mannikins, who do everything that's human except talk; the Venola Brothers a clever gymnastic pair Takio, the only Japanese mimic of sounds, who is exceptionally expert in the business; Sid Stanto, novelty musical pot-pourri; Fritz Yodel, in a Dutch singing and dancing act; and the Palace Bioscope. Cardiff Empire. The Little Stowaway," written by Fred Bowyer, and produced by Bertie Shelton, will pay a welcome return visit to Cardiff Empire next week. Mr. T. R. Walton, who has played the part of the captain over 1,000 times, tells an amusing story. On one occasion he attended at a provincial theatre with his company on Monday morning: to take the usual rehearsal. "What!" exclaimed the manager, you've been playing this fifteen years and want a rehearsal. Not if I know it. You're not going to waste my light; and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Rehearsal! Get out of it! Albert Whelan, the clever entertainer; the Vasilescu Troupe of horizontal bar performers; Frank Cass, comedian; Ada Martine, the dainty singer; Hans and Lux, the argumentative college chums; Boden and Bell; and Ethel Whiteside and her pics are others on the bill. Tivoli, Pentre. the programme submitted at the above place this week deserves crowded houses, and the public has not been backward in detecting the advertisements with Mr. Wm. Jackson's world-renowned Eight Lancashire Lads topping the bill. This item consists of eight lads chosen by Mr. Jackson from the town of Wigan, almost all being miners' sons. Owing to failing health, Mr. Jackson, assisted by his wife, engaged the lads, taught them various steps and choruses of his own composition, and introduced them on the, stage. The lads in this item first appear dressed very prettily in smocks, and in their sweet rendering of Kitty Rilly" their voices blend to perfection. Following are various stepping movements done with a, grace and precision of a well-trained regi- ment. They are acknowledged to be the smartest combination of singers and dancers before the public. Charlie Cowen, comedian, in his character song, The day that I played football," kept the audience in roars of laughter. Musical Silvo, with his silver chimes and musical glasses^ gave an excellent account of him- self, hi £ selections being played with taste and skill. The glass items were loudly applauded. Henri Bekker, comedy con- jurer, assisted by Miss Maie, fairly brought the house down with his mys- terious and clever tricks. The match trick is one that is worth seeing. The Selwyns are pretty dancers and vocalists. The Reays, modern equilibrists and silver chain acrobats, are exceptionally smart an- up-to-date. The Brothers Durant comedians, were the most comical item on the programme. They first introduced themselves in a cleverly constructed air- ship, after which they gave a splendid show of acrobatic feats. Joe Cookson, ventriloquist, together with Mr. Stephen- son, comedian, were also great. Opera House, Treherbert, Treherbert playgoers have a treat in store for them during the coming week, the boards of the Opera House being occu- pied by Harry Benet's well-known com- pany in that most delightful of musical comedies, Segeant Brue of the C Division." The "Sergeant" has been a roaring success during the time he has appeared before the British public, having won the stripes of popular acclamation long ago. Written by Mr. Owen Hall, the author of The Girl from Kay's," The Geisha," and other well-known musical comedies, the name of the author alone should command crowded houses. Ser- geant Brue" will appear on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to be followed during the remainder of the week by Mr. Leon Vint's Globe Choir, which has the reputation of being the greatest musical entertainment in the world. Theatre Royal, Tonypandy Mr. J. H. Tomkinson's reputation as a successful amusement caterer is well sus- tained by the combination of talent acom- panying his Royal Gipsy Choir appearing this week at the Theatre Royal, Tony- pandy. The programme is throughout an exceptionally good one, and many of the items are of special merit, while the per- formance of the choir thoroughly, justifies its undoubted popularity. The entertain- ment right through is most enjoyable, and is well deserving of the unstinted applause of the large audiences which obtain each evening. For the Easter holiday week, Mr. Sam Duckworth announces Mr. Millar Ander- son's company in the domestic drama, For Her Husband's Sake," in which the role of "Estelle Beaudet will be sus- tained by Miss Mabel Mannering. If the day should turn out wet, a special after- noon performance will be given on Easter Monday. New and up-to-date pictures will be shown on the Electric Biograph between the acts at every performance. Hippodrome, Tonypandy. The Days, brother. and sister, are remark- able exponents of the science of telepathy. rheir nightly performances evoke admira- tion and wonder, and there is much con- jecture as to how the thing is done. Lily Graston is a clever male impersonator, and is credited to be the champion step dancer if the world. She is the only lady who Iocs the late Dan Leno's double shuffle step. The Voldarn Brothers are eccentric Dutch acrobats; whilst Sandes and Vin- jent contribute a real funny turn. Vinnie Loftus is a comedienne of much charm and oower, and her songs "take." The pic- iures include An Awkward Situation," c The Matinee Doll," A Bargain Fiend," « A Phlegmatic Gentleman," The Gipsy's i Bride," The Amateur Acrobat," and The Roller Skate Craze."

The Palace, Porth. The Palace, Porth, is again to the fore with a magnificent holiday programme. A special feature of the bill is the famous act of E. Rensby, "Around Paris," the most artistic turn on the music hall stage, coming to Porth direct from the Alhambra, Brussels, where it has scored an enormous success. Another fine turn is that or the Whiteleys, introducing some marvellous equilibristic feats. Lillie Soutter, star comedienne, will also make her first appear- ance at Porth. She is the star turn this week at the Cardiff Palace, and is delight- ing the audience. There are also The Walleys, jugglers; the Kyasyas, dandy athletes Hastings and Fields, comedians Bean and Belle, vocalists; Will Farrell, comedian, etc., etc. Such an array of talent would do credit to any place of amusement in or out of London.
