"Handy Andy were very acceplabiy present.
ed to quite good house at Diamond Hail.
Gaithersburg, on Tuesday evening, by the NJ :.
A. D. c. Miss Annie Hutton, as Aida, Mr.
Maddox, as Garrick, and Mr. Meem, as In
got, were very credtable roles, and the less
important parts in being well taken added con-
sideratly TO the smoothness and success of the
play. ''Handv Andy" was, beyond doubt
given in the better macner. Mr. AL. Meem s
Handy Andy was an excellent piece of acting,
the brogue and awkwardness of the Irish
serving lad having been carefully studied and
consistently kept up to the end Ouna, Ham
dy's sweetheart was treated well hy Miss Clop-
per, and it was greatly regretted that there
WAS rot more of the coquetry and brightness
which Miss Chopper threw into the role; Mad
Nance, probably the most difficult of all the
parts, was judicousy assigned TO Miss Ran
ney, who avoided what is common among
amateurs, that of making the character raw
ing maniac instead of the pitiable woman
broken by misfortune ard nearly crazed by a
long effort to redress her wrongs and injuries
The other roles were taken by Miss Hutton,
and Messrs. Maddox, Meem, Suter and Kill
gour.
Whilst the club is to be congratulated upon
t4e>- enteEtaiHssea+J there arc few points that
might be taken note of, among them the bet
ter memorzing of scne of the parts and a
better control of the curtain.
