The Theatre.

The Social Hall was crowded on
Wednesday night and the dramatic
entertainment presented by our local
amateurs was great success. The
audience was kept interested and
amused throughout the entire even
ing, and it appeared to be the general
impression that the performance was
the best seen in Mesa for MANY a day.
In the openiag piece Mrs. Nettie
johnson played the part of Mrs
Cumberledge with exquisite feeling
her singing of "Tears, Idle Tears
was very effective and brought real
tears to the eyes of many in the audi
ence.
Mrs. Amy Robson appeared rs the
loquacious nurse of the family and
looked an old lady to perfection. The
part of Wilson Ia maid) was played
by Miss Tenie Nets, who looked and
acted the part very naturally.
Little Mabel Pomeroy looked very
sweet in boys clothes and was a per-
feet little darling.
The gentlemen parts were all well
played by Messrs. Sol Sprague, T E
Pomeroy and Clifford Pembroke.
The farcs Raising the Wind" was
the piece of the evening. 1t is full Of
laughs and roars that at times
threatened to raise the ceiling,
Mrs. Victoria Passey looked ex-
ceedingly bewitching as ''The Charm
ing Peggy" and the audience were
evidently of the opinion that Jeremy
Diddler was in luck to have such
bewitching little Peggy.
Mrs.Zula Brizzee was excruciatingly
funny as the old maid and few of her
friends were able to recognize her in
her astonishing makeup.
Mr.. Sprague made good old man
and his perplexity in the various
situations in which he found himself
was excellently acted.
Mr.. -Talma pomeroy made splen>
did Sam, and his comedy work elected
roars of laughter.
The other parts were well rendered
by Messrs. Ellis johnson, Boyd Pas
sey and Frank Fuller and Clifford
Pembroke.
Mr.. Pembroke is to be congratu-
lated upon the success OF his work as
an instructor. He has a good reputa-
ton as an actor in San Francisco and
