Nothing that has taken place among
amateur dramatics upon the hill this
year can compare with "Tulu." as pro-
duced by the Apollo Dramatic Society at
Hasbrouck Hail last night. This is the
first play that has been produced on that
stage. 1t was ptayeu for the benene OF
the Hasbrouck Library Fund, and Incl
dentally to show the people of the Hill
society people can make. The
Hall was packed TO the doors
and the gallery was flied before the
time set for tue play TO begin. Unfortu-
narely the handsome drop curtain with
which the stage Is to be lifted had,
through some mistake. not arrived and a
substitute had to be arranged. This
caused considerable delaytand. the plal
was fifteen minutes late in beginning.
The cast was: Lord Blazonberrie. Mr.. J.
D. Taylor, Jr.; Jack RYDER. Mr.. H. V.
Fitch; Dick Chetwyu, Mr.. 5. G. Acton;
Robinson. (servantl. Mr.; Charles
Hornig: Duchess of Tosdmag, Miss
Miss NJ. Gertrude Garland; Tulu, Miss
Maude James, Chiffon. The scene

played the part of an American heiress,
fond of a title but foader still of au
American cousin of hers. Jack RYDER.
She was excellent. Mr.. II. V. Fitch as
Jack aud Miss Jennie Scott as an Eng
