Press Excursion Abandoned.

There will be no summer excursion of
the Vermont Press Association this year,
owing to the numerous attractions,

gagements of members of the associa-
ton. The matter of an annual excur-
sion was made optional with the execu-
tive committee under the amended con-
stitution adopted last year. The new
constitution provides for winter bust
ness meeting, and it is proposed to make
the meeting for 1895 notable one. The
programme will probably include an ad-
dress by some distinguished member of
the profession and banquet 1t is the
purpose of the executive committee to
devote day to the discussion of matters
of interest to publishers and printers.

A sennIneton Lady,s success,

This weeks issue of The Illustrated

"Our Gallery of Players" contains a
nearly full page half-tone cut of Miss
Bertha JeweUt, accompanied by the fol-
lowing complimentary notice which will
be interesting to her many Bennington
friends:
Bertha Jewett, who made a notewor-
thy success recently at the closing mat.
inee of the Empire Theater Dramatic
School, is quaint and petit young wom-
an with an originality of manner that
promptly proved attractive. She is eigh-
teen years old and was born in Troy, n.
Y. When very young she was sent to a
Vermont school, and afterward to Miss
Gerrish's Preparatory School for Vassar
at Englewood, N. j. Circumstances
arose which necessitated her abandoning
her intention of entering Vassar, and al
though she had passed all necessary ex-
aminatiOns, her ambition IN this direc-
ton was thwarted. She then applied
herself to the studies of the stage, and
her success has gone far to justify her
determination to adopt the profession of
the theater. She suggests Edna Wallace
Hopper in method, and slightly also in
appearance. She has many accomplish
ments, including singing, dancing and a
musical education of quite a high order,
all of which. combined with vivacity, the
comedy spirit and a real charm of man
ner, together with her youth, her earn
estness and her natural fitness for her
chosen word, promise career in the
mimic world something above the ordi-
nary.
Miss Jewett appeared in the
matinee performance Of the Empire The
alter Dramatic School under the nom de
theatre of Amorette Lee. She will here
after appear under her own name.
