1t is not usual to analyze the
performances of amateurs strictly,
especially upon the first perform
ance of new play, but it is quite
proper to indicate marked excel
lence and not unkind to note faults
that should be corrected. Mr..
Allderdice was certainly the star
Of the company. His imperturb-
able calmness and complete sub
mergence of self-consciousness in
the character assumed were fea-
lures of the performance that went
far toward removing its amateur
complexion. There is good deal
of humor in the character and
Mr.. Allderdice allowed none of 1T
to be lost in the Interpretation. His
comrades of the Bennington
Messrs. Speyers, Mayo and Addi-
son-played their respective roles
we'll, especially where they had to
sustain comical or perplexing
situations. Mr.. Potter, of the
town contingent, carried the title
role. He was animated enough
and his elocution was not bad,
hut he showed he needed more
practice before the footlights
IN get rid of show of
effort, and his pronunciation was
faulty in few instances. The
Misses Atkinson gave charming
Tenditions of their respective
parts, evincing a possession of the
artistic talent that is capable of
concealing art. They spoke their
hines well and executed their
business with graceful uncon-
sciousness of their own personal
ity. Miss McGrew had the comic |
role among the ladies and, at her
syery entry, kept the audience in
merry spirits. Her character ac-
hon was superb and only her
Ailesian brogue was rather
sharply defined. Mrs. Gra-
hams character was not diff
cult one to sustain, but one liable
10 be overdone to save it from
tameness. The general opinion
will probably be that it was on
this occasion acted up to the au-
fhor's intended standard. The
s4her performers had subordinate
parts and it sufices to say that
ihey rendered excellent support.
1t was evident from the signs
given that the audience was pleas
ed with the performance through
sut. There will be no doubt of
