DAYTON. KY.
The Excelsior Dramatic Club have
again demonstrated the fact that they
know how to get up an entertainment,
and the public by turning out en- masse
Saturday night to witness the pro-
gramme billed for the Shifferd & Clark
benefit mas expressed its unqualified ap-
proVal OF their efforts. The house was
0YertDWing, and nothing occurred to
mar the enjoyment OF the evening. In
the society drama of "Time Tries ALL"
each character was well presented.
Miss Betty Jones as a spoiled darling of
fortune, the captious and exacting lady
who at first was blind to the sterling
qualities of devoted though unfavored
lover, but who at last awoke to the
consciousness that true devotion from
tnat lover had pierced her really wo-
manly heart-made decided hit, and
her conception of the character was
brilliant and true. Miss Florence Ro-
rer as the vivacious and pretty pafl lor
maid surprised even those who knew
her best, and keen appreciation and just
conception of the part lett nothing to be
desired. The "Mr. Leeson" OF Sam.
Wells was even an improvement upon
that gentleman's former efforts. His
"Leeson" was clear cut, symmetrical
and atisfylng; and as kiud-hearted,
doting father, whose chief aim in LIE
hlt tnE ~ as
Laura to the almost idolzed son of his
dead friend, he presented most excel
lent picture, faithful to life, and with
good dramatic effect.
MIR. Emanuel Quinby's artistic and
natural rendition Vt the blase society
man, "Hon. Collander Yawn," gentle
man who was SO overcome by ennui that
he falls TO sleep while in the act of pro-
posing tO Miss Laura, created much mer-
rImenJ. The character in Mr.. Quinby's
hands did not lack for just delneation,
ana upon the whole was decidedly a sue
cess. The role Of the hero, "Malthew
Bates" was splendldiy performed by
Mr.. Ed. Tresise, who fully sustained his
deserved reputation as an easy, grace
tul, rehned and pains-taking actor, His
expression and carriage in the emotion
/ al parts Of the role were excellent.
