The Deacon.
The Deacon" came mud spent Il
social evening with his friends, ca
Wednesday,; and has gone, leavins
pleasant memories behind. In local
amateur theatrlcals, adverse criticism
under any circumstances il not iair,
and Is out Ut place because the
performance is not given for the bcnc.
&c Of the actors, the faults arc most
ly those which came from want Of ex.
perlence, and the motive Of each Of
the performers Is to please thci
friends.
In the Wednesday evening perfo
nance, there was but very little To
criticise adversely probably not any
more than can bc usually done ut
FIRST nights" Of any professional
troupes. On the other hand there
was very much to commend indivi.
dually, while the performance as q
whole, run remarkably even and
smooth. and tho parts were well bal
anced. Indeed, VIC have never seen
an amateur play put on the stage,
where everything scemctl to DC On
time and In order than that Of the
"Deac0n." We know we express the
ideas Of the rest of the members of
the troupe whsn VIC say that to Mr..
J. ID. Winlaw, this thorough oryani!
xation, preparation, and complete
stage management Is almost wholly
due. The new scenery and enlargins
the stage arc Rrcat improvements,
and the settings Ut the play. aud the
costumes were much admired. The
Deacon" is not IL "star" play, that
Is, the play is not written for one "r
two persons to do all the principal
acting, but there arc three leading
male parts aud three or four leading
female parts, each requiring quite an
amount of characterization. or these
leading characters, the deacon"
