The audience witnessed the presentation
from commencement to close, with evident
interest. Every character and part was
well and satisfactorily sustained. The
spirit manifested in the representation was
vigorous, and the ease and naturalness of
the actors would have done credit to a
theatre. Many persons were present who
had often seen the play in the first-class
theatres of the country and they avered
they had never seen it performed with
more appropriateness and dramatic power
than on this occasion. Mr.. r. E Bailey,
In the chargpful fortunes of Lancaster
lad, dissipated In youth, led astray, the con-
demned prisoner, the discharged convict,
the fearless lover, the proud husband,
serenely carrying his load of obloquy or
tottering under its burdens, and finally
triumphant. In all these positions Mr..
Bailey was perfectly at home.
Miss Flora E. Ames as the street singer
soliciting aims, the fearless girl earning her
bread by her music, befriended by kind
people, betrothed to the Lancashire Lad,
the wife with life with husbands shame;
in every part she sustained herself with
ease and grace, calling from the audience
frequent applause. Mr.. L. T. Croft and
A. X. Ames seemed especially at home in
the character of rascals. Old Moss in his
deep ingenuity, with his sinister aud
characteristic laugh and the Tiger in his
bold, daring, and heartless career seemed as
real as any Of Dickens pictures. Mrs.
George II. Hol len well adapted herself to
the character of grandmother with her
| budget of trouble and Gathering tongue,
while Miss Emma Bailey as the boy Sam
put on airs and acted young America in q
| charming way. Mr.. F. o. Stafford per-
| formed the detective in shrewd and
| agreeable manner. The whole presenta-
ton was superior to any amateur acting it
| has been our fortune to witness before in
| Vermont. The tableaux were all fine rep
| reservations.

Fair" brought down the house. The fol-

In this play Mr.. and Mrs. George II.
Holden distinguished themselves and Mr..
E. A. Fuller was especially ''rangey" in 80
many characters, that it is difficult to say
which he sustained best. He sang well
and seemed natural climatic" The
evenings entertainment was concluded
with laughable clog dance and song by
Mr.. X. E. Bailey and sister, SO, amt we
got the nerve"
The whole performance was a success,
and the acting admirable. We suspect
that some of the actors had seen stage life
before. The club has reason to take pride
in their cTeditable representations; a re-
production of it in Rutland and olhel
larger towns would be profitable to then
and pleasing to the community.
AT the close of the entertainment socia
