A large and appreciative audience in
the drawing room of the New Century
Club last night heard a dramatic treat
when the Amateur Dramatic Com
pany presented two breezy little
plays in the Homeopathic Hospital
benefit entertainment The cosy
auditorium was tastefully decorated
and beautifed for the occasion and the
pretty dresses of the women cores
ponded charmingly with the palms and
potted plants about the room and the
absence of large hats and pretty stage
settings made the interior still more at
tractive.
The program for the evening was as
follows:
o"Breaking the Ice" a comedietta by Charles
Thomas. Cast: Captain Selby, George K
Hoifecker; Miss Marion, Miss Eleanor G..
Walton. Scene.-An English country inn In

teri Miss Eleanor G, Walton; stage direct
ors-Mr. and Mrs. Tilghman Johnson.
Although each character deserved and
received much applause, Miss Walton
was the star of the evening. Her charm
ing actions aud witty speeches in each
play were made even prettier by her per
fectly natural and home-like expression.
Mrs Gle rye w. Sparks's Interpretation
of the character of a city belle was ex'
eel ent and the acting of Miss May
Candy, as the old fsherman's wife could
not have been more pleasing. The whole
entertainment was a success.
