SEMINARY IiLL.-The dramatic and literary
entertainment given by the Adelphi and Ladies
Literary societies last Friday evening passed off
pleasantly and with much credit to the societies
represented, The seminary chapel WAS we'll
filled with an appreciatve audience. The exer-
cses opened with piano solo by Miss Vance,
followed by u defamation by T. X. Dexter, both
OF which were well rendered. Miss Cummings
sang with expression and good voice, " l.ebes
Bite The Legend OF the Organ Builder"
was recited In pleasing manner by Miss Minnie
Swasey Then followed piano solo by Miss
Bates Two tableaux, THE Three Graces and
"The Interrupted Due" completed the first part
Of the programme. The former of these tableaux
WAS exception lily fine, and its arrangement very
effective. The temperance drama entitled, The
Social Glass" was then presented, II IL seldom
that amateur theatricals are so well prepared or
produced with a. good effect rs on this occasion.
Each one seemed especially adapted to his or her
part and there was noticeable that absence OF
constTalnt which Is so often seen In entertain
ments OF this class. The stage was msteluly
arranged. Mr.. Huse rs Bob Bntte proved him
sell TO be good comedian, and was considered
By most To have carried of the hOnoTs OF the
evening. Mr.. Mcdonald, as Charles Thornley,,
seemed well adapted to his part. lie showed
superior dramatic talent and gained the approba-
lion OF the audience. MIR, Miles played well the
lHft OF James Hollis, and seemed 10 enter into
the spirit OF the character he represented. The
part OF Farley, though difficult one was well
sustained by Mr. Eaton, Messrs Brigham and
Fish carried the less difficult parts Of Harold
Iladley and DIR Slater. The part OF Era Thornley,
was well taken by Miss Bell Putnam, Her voice
showed previous elUcuiionary drill and added
much 10 the effect Of the play Her appearance
was easy and she showed much feeling In the
pathetic part. Miss Cummings as Netiie Neitleby
succeeded admirably In making folks happy"
Miss Kinney also did well AZ Mrs Farley.
