"The Deacon" Great success---Re-
ceipts $50.
An audience which packed the academy
hall last evening to see the dramatic club
present "The Deacon" were not in the
least disappointed. The club has never
presented more taking play or one that
has given more general satisfaction. Mr..
A. f. Hill assumed the title role, and as
usual made a decided hit. Miss Libbe
Harris as Miss Amelia Fawcett was "iust
too comical for anything" as the people
declared as they passed out. Her song,
"Daisy Bell" with the deacon, took well.
e. NJ. Goodenough in his favorite role of
the negro, Pete, pleased the crowd i'm
mensely, and his efforts to bring the villain
to justice were not overlooked. Billy, the
deacon's boy, as acted by Purl Stockwell,
was well received, especially in his treasure
hunting expedition. In the more sober
roles f. K. Perry made an excellent vii
lain, and his rendering showed much care
and study. The part of George Graef was
well taken by d. II. Boyd; in fact, the
play went ON without break, and much
credit was due to the ladies, Mrs. f. G.
Sargent, Mrs. Goodenough, Miss Fox,
Miss Miller, and little Gertie Stockwell as
Nellie, who all appeared to good advan-
tage. Good music was furnished by the
Wheel club orchestra. The receipts were
about $50.
