The drama was entitled Uncle JOSH" by
home talent AS in country villages, the hall
was filled to overlooking long before the or.
chestra played the opening overture.
Promptly at 8:15 the curtains rolled back
and the performance had begun. To do jus
tice in summarizing the description of all
the different characters would require too
much space suffice it to say that each part
was handled in manner to elicit admira-
ton and applause from the audience.
The company was ably supported by an
orchestra of trained musicians from Freder.
lex City, which rendered charming theatri-
cal selections between the acts, and which
helped to make the entertainment the grand
success that it was. The success of the en-.
ter:ainment was accomplished mainly thro'
the indefatigable efforts and good manage.
men, of Miss Grace Henshaw, assistant teach

The order was excellent throughout and
the audience, which was a most select one,
almost to a person, expressed desire to see
the drama repeated.
1t was night full Of fun and amusement
for all who attended, and one long to be re-
membered by the people Of Lewlstowp.
