best of plays for Jersey City and Hopo-
ken theatre-goers, has outdone himself
this week by presenting the military,
warlike play, FOR Fair Virginia" The

among dramatic writers. Mr.. Whytai.
who is an actor of more han ordinary
ability, wrote the play for himself, and
when it was first produced at tne sa asI5n
he achieved sudden recognition at the
and of New York critics,
The play is essentially Southern in tone
and sentiment, and while the war ele-
ment is used as a potent factor, it holds
but a second place, for a theme upon
which Nj. Whytal has reared an exceed
hearts and homes were sacrificed in de-
fence of a cause. The situations are in
tensely dramatic and are apt to make
ones hair stand o. end unless prepared.
The comedy scenes are altogether unique
and are introduced. with discretion. The
original cast, headed by the author ana
Mrs. Whytal, appear in the play, while
tistic feature that characterized its New
York triumph are also given. :.
The pretty comedietta, Agatha Dene,"
also by Mr.. Whytal, is given as a curtain
raiser TO the play.

-Cantatas in Other
Churches.

TIL Christmas entertainment of the
Tabernacle Sunday school was given
last night in the Tabernacle. The new
lights which have been placed along the
walk frightened the gloomy old room
considerably n showed the stage to
good advantage. Mr.. Theodore Parker,
assistant superintendent, presided in
place of the superintendent, Mr.. Will
lam ]. Hunt. who is i'll. The Rev. John
l.. Scudder made a short address to the
children in which he aid that he knew

Year, and hope you will enjoy the en-
tertainment."
The Rev. Mr.. Wells led in prayer the
school repeating each sentence after
him. The entertainment began with a
Christmas recitation by Miss Carlyn
Lyons. A chorus, Hide BEHIND the
Door Till Papa Comes was excellent
ly sung by the thirteen little boys and
girls. Clarence Wells sang the verse
and the other twelve Joined in the
chorus. Miss Elsie Wells recited very
well a piece about Santa Claus and the
chimney and then the most delightful
part of the entertainment, the cantata,
was given.
The cantata was Santa CLAUS, Junior
having a rather unusual conception of
whom it used to be said he would never
grow old, was represented as too old
and feeble to make his annua journey.
He did not know. what to do in his pre-
dscament n asks the advice of his
fairies They tell him to send his grand
and his favorite fairy, Tina, to visit the
Sunday Schools on earth. The second
scene represented the Tabernacle Sunday
School, where q number of scholars were
Claus; Songs by the girls and a short
drill by the Boys Brigade amused the
children till Santa Junior arrived. With
him were TYna and a groom. Zero, who
had hidden in the reindeer sleigh. After
Santa had been welcomed n he had
good night chorus vas sung and the
fairies, Santa and scholars formed an
effective tableau.
The platform was prettily decorated
with Christmas trees and green's. A large
chimney at the rear was hung with ever
cantata was tuneful and all the choruses
were well sung. The dialogue also
lacked the stiffness sometimes found.
The cast was:-Santa Claus, Mr.. ReE-
wick peers: Santa Claus. Jr., Mr.. Ar
thur Garrison: Tina, Miss Louise Prime;
Misses Norma Anness. Lennie Edge,
Maud Chilver, Florence Ewald, Julia Pres
ton, and Carlyn Lyons; Pearl, Miss Jes-
sic Miller, and Lucia, Miss Pearl Hoppler.
All the young actors did well and reflect
ed great credit upon the committee,
Scudder, Miss Altman, Mr.. Frank Hall.
and Mr.. w. Jewell.

the school was given q box of candy.
