The Galveston News in speaking of this
play says:
"The County Fair" which is the creation
Of Mr.. Charles Barnard, was presented to
large and very enthusiastic audience Ut the
fremont last night. The play proposes TO
portray country life in New England, and is
easily recognized as an ambitious attempt
at realism. In other words, it is an illustra-
ton of realism on the stage carried to ex-
tremlst limits, yet done with such remark
able taste and so skillfully consummated
that the effect is as simple as it is pleasing.
There is not great deal left to the sweets
of the imagination in the various accessories
TO the action, but the enjoyment that IS
sometimes derived from the exercise of a
small degree of fancy is perhaps compen-
stated for by presenting the actual things to
the auditors vision. OF course THE
County Fair depends largely tor its sue
cess on the striking character of its scenic
incidents, but aside from this there is a
modest plot in 1t, and some excellent spe-
cialties are introduced. The singing of the
quartet is unusually sweet, the husking bee
in the old barn as hfelike as one could wish,
and the horse-race scene is natural Three
horses are represented as coming down the
home stretch Of 4 race course at 4 country
fair in a desperate finish, and the device
which gives them the appearance Of run
ming across the stage is sufficiently clever
and complete to make the Illusion abSo-
lutely perfect.
The central character of the play is Miss
Abigail Prue, 4 shrewd and self-reliant but
simple spinSter, who is supposed to be
peculiarly New England character. In
this role Miss Josephine Crowell does some
excellent work, being at all times per-
fectly at ease and natural in both manner
and make up.
Arthur " Gibson's impersonation of
Otis Tucker is likewise a clever piece Of
work. He portrays the awkward, I'M
sophisticated simpleton who courts and
marries Miss Abigail, and proves himself
comedian of rare ability. His facial ex-
preston is extraordinary, while his drawl-
ing tones seldom fail 10 excite laughter.
Richard Ferris takes good care of Tim,
the Tanner, and the dancing of Miss Ollie

The principal parts in the cast are well
taken care Of The performance has the
highly meritorious quality of being natural,
The simnle country folk are seen as truly
and rea ] as ordinary art can portray
them, anu the piece is productive of the
best and most wholesome amusement.
