As Presented by the H. ope Dramatic
Club.
A we'll h'led house greeted the Hope Dra,nat-
ic Club last Saturday night to witness the per
formance OF the drama. "Among the Break
ers," and had it not been for the windy, dsa-
Creeable weather Of that day, the house would
have been crowded.
The play was splendidly performed, each
one OF the actors being admirably adapted 70
Ills or her particular part.
Atty. c. j. Paul rs David Murry. the light
keeper. and who acted the tragedy and william
part, was indeed excellent His makeup and
disguise were 40 complete that many intimate
acQuatntances failed to recognize him. His
was very difficult part, and Mr.. Paul did it
full Justice, and elected from the audience
great applause.
Larry Devine, bis assistant and full fledg
ed Irlshman, was ably representa- BY Mr. c.
G. Merrlell, and his ''swatsheart, !" Blddy Bean,
represented by Mn. J. F. McKeuney, was as
charming an Irish lass as ono would wish TO
sre. The ove-making scene bstw esn them
was heartily applauded, aud caused nucl,
uerritnent.
Hon. Bruce Hunter, the dignlled English
gentleman, was represented by Prof. L. +.
Marsh, and to say that the part was we'll acted
would indeed be but tame praise for it. MIR.
Marsh was we'll adapted to the part, and we
have heard numerous compliments in regard
to his acting.
Mr. w. I. Warrey in the part Of Clarence
Hunter, the ward Of Hon. Bruce Hunter, which
character represents noble. atlectionate and
manly young man, performed Ills part well,
being the right man In the right place.
Peter Paragraph, the newspaper reporter,
the character Of whom was assumed by Mr.. j.
W. Kiniston, was admirably acted, and tho
manner In which he scattared his marriage
proposals promlscuously around led him into
many embarrassing prsdicaments, but he never
allowed anything Of this nature to Interfere
with bis vocation as news gatherer. His W rs
difficult part, and finely acted.
The part Of Scud, the darkey, was taken by
Mr.. E. H. Badger, aud everyone knows that
this fact would be sufficient recommendation
for tho part, as everybody knows how perfectly
Badger can mimic the darkey. Suffice it to
say that the costume was splendid and that tho
audience was convulsed with laughter by his
lud crous antics whenever be appeared
Miss Minnie Daze. Hunters niece, the aesthet-
10 and "wonantic'' young lady, as represented
By Mrs. F. G. Elwell was '.just too killing for
anything" Tho part was done ample justice.
Bess starbright, tho child washed up by tho
waves and 10 the character represented in tho
play developed into ono Of those innocent aud
| unaffected young ladies such as only arc brought
| up by natures ways, was represented by Mrs
! G. G. herriell in a manner which could no.
have been improved upon by anyone. The
manner was 70 easy and natural, and the act
ions withai 10 graceful. thst tho effect was very
pleasing to tho audience and numerous are
the compliments We have heard bestowed upon
/ this part.
| Mrs. G. ]. Paul In tho character Of Molher
| Carey, the fortune teller, displayed acting
which would have done credit to any star OIL
the stage. This was very difficult part, and
the rendition Of it could not have been exceled.
Tho voice and manner were perfect and very
impressive, and the pictures painted in her
fortune telling made the cold shivers pnss over
ones frame.
The music furnished by Prof. Mitchell with
the violin, assisted with the organ accompanI-
ment BY Mrs. G. G. Merrisll, was excellent.
The pieces were selections from tho finest
operas, and the rendition Of the music was
perfect.
Indeed, the whole Of tho performance, from
first to last, was An unexcslled success, and
everybody whom ws have heard, speak Of it in
glowing terms.
