ssHagar and Ishmael,' a drama in pro-
logue and two acts adapted from the bible,
will be presented in St. Johnsbury on
Thursday evening of this week for the
benefit of the Alumni Association of the
St. Johnsbury Academy. This drama has
been very carefully prepared under the'di-
rection of Mr.. Z. p. Flockton of actor E..
H.~Sothern's company, and is to be the
finest production of anything of this kind
ever given in this part of the country. The
program includes some of the best people
of ST. bloomsbury, most of them former
studens of the Academy, who volunteer
their services for the purpose named above.
1t is hoped that former students from
abroad will give this entertainment their
patronage and thus help their alma mater,
and we feel confident that the evening
spent in enjoying production of this
kind will not only be interesting but in
structive in a great measure of the biblical
story of Hagar and Ishmael.
