The Home Dramatic Club gives a
performance in our Hall every Sat
urday night. The members who
perform are improving rapidly and
deserve mora encouragement than
they receive.
The Juvenile Dramatic Club has
given two performances here and
one at Providence, and give the last
tonight at our hall. The piece
selected is FThe Maid of Honor"
All of the performers are under IA
years of age and exhibit remarkable
talent. Now, what we need is nice
hall or theatre so that those who go

at present.
