Mr.. Edward Frye, the monologist,
filled his engagement with the Wom-
ans Club lecture course, on last Sat
urday evening, to the great satisfac-
ton of all who heard him. Rip Van
Winkle was his theme, and in his i'm
presentations of this play he represent
ed eight characters, and did this so
we'll that eight persons seemed to APP
pear before you. The text that he fol-
lowed was that by which Joe jefferson
was made so famous, and all those
who heard Mr.. Frye and have had the
pleasure of hearing the famous Jetfer-
son, say that Mr.. Frye in his imper-
sonations is first class. At the close of
the play, he gave few other imperso-
nations, which showed the range and
scope of his talents as monologist.
There was full house and we may
say, deservedly so.
