Another Successful Reading Given by Mr.
George Riddle at Plymouth.

Err. George Riddle gave magnificent
reading of Victor Hugo's angelo" last
evening. before largely increased audi
ence at Plymouth Church. The play was
given here many years ago under the title
"Thisbe. Actress of Padua." 1t is full of
color and passion. and shows the terribly
tragic times endured In 1549. the tirae in
which the scene is laid. A time when q
man thought murder was no more than q
man or woman's just due for treachery.
With such scenes one can readily
there is great opportunity for
the greatest drematlc power, and in Ar
CELLO" there are enough characters involved
TO keep one anticipating nothing Dut in
tense feeling and action. any one who
has not heard Mr.. Riddle or who did not
hear him last night cannot realize the
vivid reality with which be brings before
the audience each character portrayed.
Not only are the words read with all their
beauty and fervor, but the sceDe-every
Rction-is just as completely be-
fore one as if seated in the
theater. with the full stage equipment
and company actually present. One
who enjoys really good theatrical per-
formance misses treat in not hearing Mr.
Riddle. There are only two more readings,
