SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT OF SONG DANCE AND FUN . artistes If the performance in the Corn Exchange Hall , on Thursday evening was any criterion , Leominster has received an important addition to its social life in the formation of the It is com- troupe of " Lemster Pierrots . " in whose reputation posed of the town has previously been firmly estab- lished , and the novelty of the performance and the excellent objects for which they have been organised ensure them a brilliant run of per- formances in the district . The war has cast its shadow in Leominster as elsewhere , but the value of a little wholesome recreation is not less , but rather more on that account . The success of a nation in such a struggle as the present depends upon its spirit of cheerfulness and hope , and there are few better ways of ensuring that that healthy morale shall be sus- tained than by occasional relief from the sters ner realities of life . When to this public service is added the raising of funds for the many ob- jects for which the public purse is ever readily opened , it will be universally admitted that the thanks of Leominster are due to the talented troupe of Pierrots , who have evidently deter- DILWYN . delssohn ) ; song , " I Love You So " ( Chu Chin Chow ) ( F.

There is a feeling against the use on the new means of ploughing in some quarters . Possibly the use of horses though on the slower and more laborious , is more thorough , " Picca- hoardings stand not merely for " National but we would appeal to our farmer friends not dilly " ( Mr. Manhattan ) ( Philip Braham ) , Service , " but also for " National Security , " to neglect any means which is offered Henry Gosling ; monologue , " The Socialist , " and " No Shirking , " and that Leominster will enable them to assist in the work of food pro- Harry Davis ; operatic finale ( Reg Low ) ; God take its share in responding to the three - fold duction .

" The first appearance in public of the Pierrots ence of wounded soldiers at Hereford ) was ( they have previously delighted a private audi- eagerly anticipated , with the result that the Corn Exchange Hall was filled with an audi- ence which showed keen appreciation of the dainty , witty and clever performance which was given . The proceeds were in aid of the Herefordshire Volunteer Regiment , an appro- priate object in view of the recent great call of the King for Volunteers . Of the performance - to mention an im- portant feature - it may be said that the Pier- rots most happily infused the spirit of spon- taneous humour and that continuity which is essential to the general effect of such an en- tertainment . To this effect other items con- tributed . The stage had been adorned with an appropriate design cleverly executed by Terry Davis , and the costumes arranged by W. F. Preece and Co. were most effective . The programme struck the right note from the very commencement and went with a swing to the finish . Commencing with a pianoforte duet by Mrs Thomas and Mr. Herbert Crimp , a concerted introduction brought in the other Pierrots , Mabel Cross , Bertha Davies , Maidie Gosling , Dorothy Parry , Harry Davis , Terry Davis and Henry Gosling . This " Introduction " quickly put the audi- ence and players on good terms with each other . Written by Mr. W. St. G. Drennan and set to music by Mr. Herbert Crimp ( not the first occasion on which these two gentlemen have successfully collaborated ) , this item was opened with some of Mr. Harry Davis's humour and was packed from end to end with local and topical allusions , which did not fail to reach their mark . The " concerted " item was a pleasing introduction to a feast of good things , each number only resulting in an Oliver - like demand for more . The repeated encores of the delighted audience lengthened the programme so considerably that the Pier- Tuesday : Before Col. E. V. V. Wheeler , Mr. Davis and Mr. J. W. Rose . W. Baldwin , Mr. J. E.

P.C. Lloyd stated that on February 18th he was near the brickyard at 9.30 p.m. when he saw the defendant coming along the road carrying the bag produced . He stopped him and asked what the bag contained and he said " a bottle of cider . " He examined the bag and found it contained crushed oats but no cider . On the following morning he showed the bag and oats to Mr. Clent who claimed it as his property . On February 21st he served the defendant with the summons and in reply to the charge he said he was very sorry that he took them from Mr. Clent's . Defendant elected to be dealt with that day and pleaded guilty . Mr. Clent said defendant was a good work- ing man and he had never missed anything before , the man was still working for him .

The audience , however , remained insistent , and to their surprise those attending the concert found as they left after a highly enjoyable evening that the hour of 11 was very near . and " THE UNLUCKY SEA . " LIFEBOAT CREW'S BATTLE WITH GREAT WAVE . A In the space at our disposal it is impossible to give anything but the most sketchy of ac- counts of a performance which was one of the best , if not the best , that has been seen any- where in the neighbourhood for many years . Following the opening referred to above , Terry Davis made a very promising debut in his song " Where are the Lads of the Village To - Night ? " which encored , was pierrette , Miss Bertha Davies , then took the stage with an effective song " When the An- gelus is Ringing . " To the great regret of the audience Miss Maidie Gosling was unable to sing , but she gave great delight by a graceful and spirited dance , of which the audi- ence enthusiastically demanded a repetition . Mr. Harry Davis never fails to set an audience rocking with laughter and his " Ideal Home " An attempt was made to communicate the was encored . Miss Mabel Cross scored a great fact to Salcombe that the crew of the schooner success with the popular song " There's a Ship prevent the dispatch of the lifeboat ; but the that's bound for Blighty .

The first part concluded with another highly amusing trio , " You have a Pretty Wit , " presented by Miss Mabel Cross , Mr. H. Crimp and Mr. H. Davis . How a lifeboat and its crew battled with a gigantic wave known locally as the " unlucky sea " is described in the report just issued of a the loss of the Salcombe lifeboat William and Emma , with 13 lives , on October 27 . The sea was in a " perfect boil " and sud- denly the great wave capsized the boat , which was going to the rescue of a schooner . Three or four of the crew got back to the boat , but were washed away again . One survivor was washed away three times . The lifeboat drifted ashore , and was smashed to pieces . had been rescued by the rocket apparatus , to a VICTORIA CROSS HOAX .. VICTIM ACQUITTED BY COURT - MARTIAL .

We would appeal for a large and representative meeting of townsmen and also of ladies , for this is a subject which is of vital Although Leominster rs importance to all . the centre of a purely agricultural area , it will no doubt be able to contribute its quota to the great national " trade army , " and success is assured if the campaign is entered upon in the right spirit .

Leominster to the call for National Service THE VOLUNTEER FORCE . From National Service to the Volunteer Force is a natural transition for the work of this body has been fully recognised to be of vital national importance , inasmuch as members of Section A are exempted from enrolment under National . Service . Section A is composed of men over military age who agreed to perform so many drills per month . This is an impor- tant point to many business men to whom a call to leave the town would mean the closing of their establishments . To these therefore the Volunteer Force offers a method of doing their " bit " and at the same time keeping the business of the town going . In another column will be found a most urgent appeal on behalf of the Leominster Company of the Herefordshire Volunteer Regiment . Lord French has stated that the whole duty of home defence may have to be undertaken by the Volunteers . To convince men over military HENRY GOSLING , Mayor . DIVORCE CASE SEQUEL . BARRISTER'S ACTION AGAINST A COMPANY DIRECTOR . Mr. H. W. Sillem , the defendant , gave evi- dence on Tuesday in the action in which Mr. Arthur M. W. Wells , a Chancery barrister , is claiming damages against him for alleged maintenance . Plaintiff's case is that the de- fendant was the instigator of divorce and other proceedings brought by Mrs. Wells , and that Mr. Sillem provided £ 700 for the costs and gave a guarantee for £ 1,000 to Mr. Freeland , Mrs. Well's solicitor . At the outset a long legal argument took place as to the admissibility of the documents in the possession of Mr. Freeland , solicitor to Mrs. Wells . The Lord Chief Justice ruled that there should be a disclosure of anything relating to the case of maintenance made against the defendant . Sir John Simon ap- plied to have an addition made to the plead- ings for the defence to the effect " that the defendant admitted intervention in the divorce proceedings , and that there was no just cause or excuse to make him liable to the plaintiff . " In his evidence Mr. Sillem said he was a director of nitrate companies . There had been a warm friendship between him and Mrs. Wells since 1904 , and they had lunched together at the Savoy , the Cecil , and elsewhere . During 1911-12 and 1913 Mrs. Wells had told him she was very unhappy owing to her husband's attentions to Mrs. Matthews . she told him she had consulted her solicitor , In June , 1913 , that there had been a " tremendous " scene with her husband , who had threatened that if she took action he would drag in his ( Mr. Sillem's ) name . He ( witness ) had nothing to do with Mrs. Wells going to her solicitors . He was very much upset , and , rightly or wrongly , considered himself interested in the matter . He admitted that he had agreed with his solici- watched , and that he offered to lend Mrs. Wells tor to pay the costs for having Mr. Wells Mr. Marshall Hall , K.C. , cross - examined the money . nesday was a real V.C. hero , Private Leake , who said he first saw Campbell wearing the age that they are doing work of national im- riband towards the end of December , when he portance by drilling with the V.T.C. it need ter ; and an unmistakable encore was awarded . and Campbell were entertained by the Mayor - only be pointed out that every efficient volun- Miss Maidie Gosling followed with another ess of Wareham .
