ROXBUFY
A DRAMATIC EVENT.

The three act comedy, His Last Chauce," by c, W. Colburn, which was presented by the Odel Dramatic club on Friday, January F was by far the most successful dramatic entertainment ever given |" Roxhury. The play is both lo"g and difficult, but was presented with finish that would have done credit to professionals. The mascot of the company was Miss Beulah Dickenson who took the house by storm as "Sam Button." Those who saw her on Friday night found it difficult to realize that the young actress was but 13 years of age, and was making her first appearance be- hind the footlights. Too much cannot be said In praise of the work done by Mrs W. D. Humphrey, Miss Fannie Burritt and Mrs Burton Hodge. It was spontan- eouS and natural, and showed identi- dom attained by amateurs. Rev W. D. Humphrey, as Bob Lightheart," '" Charles Sanford as "Uncie Stevenson 8 A. w. Sanford as ''Dr Paul Potter,' and
 Burton Hodge, as Barney" all made decided hits by their careful and con.
 scientious rendering of their respective parts. The new scenery lately purchas- ed by the Village Improvement society
 was used for the first time, and was
 greatly admired by the audience which
 by its sympathetic appreciation of the
 efforts made to please it did much to en-
 courage and stimulate all connected with
 the production. By special request, oi
 some of the leading citizens of she town,
 the club will repeat "His Last Chance
 on Wednesday, January %, The man agement has been fortunate enough tt } secure an orchestra for the occasion, thu
 lack of music between the acts being ths one defect of the first production. Int a proceeds of both productions will b, I given to the Village Improvement socie f ty.
