Showed In.
The audience that assembled at
Phoenix Hall last Friday evening to
witness the presentation Of "Snowed
In" 10y the Morris Dramatic society
was appreciative and large perhaps
the largest that ever greeted All ANA
teur performance in Morris. 1t would
be saying too much to say that
the audience was delighted with the
play itself; it would certainly not be
too much to say that they enjoyed the
mastery manner in which it was rem
dered. for more evident display Of
care, skill and practice was never
made in the rendering of any such
dramatic work in this p'rt of the
country, either by amateurs or pro-
fessionals. The audience seemed proud
of the ability of the personnel of the
drama, and they had a right to be.
Mrs. Church as kittie Rosemary.
the leading character of the play. was
pretty and arch, and exhibited her
artistic skill in several scenes to such
a degree as to evoke the warmest ap-
plause. Her art is 50 refined and 50
insinuatlng that no one can resist its
charm.
The gossipy Mrs. Rosemary WAS
adeptly filled by Mrs. w. J. Munro.
who kept the audience in a litter
whenever she was OH the stage.
AS to Miss Townsend who appear
ed in the somewhat subordinate part
of Ethel Flemming, hardly too much
can be said of the exquisite finish Of
her acting especially in the scene
where Max discloses the perfidy Of
Donald and reveals his own love for
her. Her manner, her walk, her ex
preston are all faithful to the char
acter she assumes; the finished artistic
appears in everything.
The impressible and tickle Donald
who was captiyated by the charms Of
the fair Klttie, was we'll carried out
by Mr.. McCune, while the somewhat
prosy character of Max was enacted
by NJ. Stanton in a highly satisiac-
tory manner. The aesthetic old gal
liant Mr.. Fleming was effectively de-
lneated by DR.. Sutherland who af-
forded the audience much merriment
by his amorous attentions to Mrs.
Rosemerry. his "EliZxbeth." Mr..
Munro as Tim Stryker made decid-
ed hit, and Mr.. Judson in the role of
the half-witted Joe achieved a great
triumph. His rendition of the char
acter was original, and he carried the
audience with him.
Altogether the play was revela-
ton. and the Morris Dramatic Club
deserves the highest praise for hav-
ing given the public such an enter
