THE DRAMATIC CLUB.
'sThe Dowager'' was the name of the play
| given last evening for the second perform
| ance of the Dramatic Club for this season.
| There was a large and brilliant audience OF
| members and guests. The committee hav-
| ing the entertainment in charge was Mr..
| and Mrs. o. B. Jameson and Mr.. and Mrs.
| Henry g. Atkins. The play is a comedy
and is of the eighteenth century. The
scheme of the play in brief is as follows:
A house party was being given at the castle
| of Lady Boomer when word is received
| that an aunt, whom they have never met,
| is about to arrive, and the guests, with the
exception of few, are hurried off. 1t is
in the time when jokes are an everyday
| occurrence, and so one of the men sends off
| to London for IA young actress to come and
! play she is the old aunt. 1t happens that
| the aunt is not old, but young and lovely,
! and she arrives. They take her for the
| actress. and she helps in the deception and
| this allows much misunderstanding. Lord
| Alfred Lindsay falls in love with her. and
| things move on with the final happy de-
nouement Mr. Harrington, as Lord Lind
say, and Miss Katherine Wallick, as The
Dowager,' were both at their best and sus-
tanned their reputation as being among the
best performers in the club. The other
members of the cast were Lady Bloomer,
Miss Margaret Carey; Margaret Beau
champ, Miss Myla Cohurn Edgar Beau
Mr.. N. 4. Gladding; maid, Miss Stella Wal
colt. The stage setting was drawing
room, with rich tapestries covering the walls
and the furniture and appointments of the
period. The costumes We're handsome and
an attractive feature of the entertainment.
The dowager wore a skirt of blue satin,
and large hat with plumes. Lady Bloomer
wore a white satin Vatican gown; Mar
garet Beauchamp a short-waisted gown of
white muslin, and the maid white muslin
gown with cap with ear rosettes. Lord
Lindsay wore a white and red satin suit,
with a gray riding coat in one scene, and a
| black and white satin suit with rufiies in the
other Edgar Eeauchamp wore black satin
and Sir Frederick purple velvet All wore
powdered hair en- pompadour. There We're
several old songs introduced, and for the fin
ale there was a figure of the minuet in
keeping with the ceremonious character of
the times. The play was one of the best
that has been given by the Dramatic Club.
Among the out of town guests were Mrs.
