Room, is a 5 act Drama, and although it
lasted for two hours it did not by any
means dry, on the contrary interest was
kept up to the end, and it moved many of
the audience, as l noticed through my
moistened optics that many were similarly
affected. The evil effects of free indul-
gence in the use of alcoholic stimulants
was wildly portrayed in the characters
"Joe Morgan" and "Sample Swichel."
The deathbed scene of little MARY was
particularly affecting.
The piece is a very powerful temperance
lesson.
