The war drama, "Love and War; was
presented three nights last week in Du-
Bots and Gays Hall by Belle Boyd and Nat
High, assisted by local talent. The play :
q in forinr n nd the tronarol / :.
dict is that the local players did better i
than the two stars. As a lecturer Belle
Boyd is pronounced success, is the uni ,
versal opinion of those who heard her but
as an actor she is not as good. The Grand !
Army Post received quite a considerable
sum of money from the entertainment as
their share. We advise them next time to ]
get up drama alone and have the whole {
proceeds. They have shown us that they
have talent amply sufficient in their organ !
Zations. Let us have good dramatic en- q
by the Post or some local tai r
ent this winter.
