THE AMATEURS.
St. Bridget's Play and Vau-
deville the Event Next
Week.

The actors Of ST. Brfdget's will pro-
duce the amateur play Of next week on
Monday Tuesday nights, when a
vaudeville ohio and a one-act farce, The
Irish Tiger, will be presented. The farce
viii be done BY the local company, while
the vaudeville end Of the programme will
be in the hands of professionals.
The farce is a very funny sketch and
is to be presented BY a competent cast.
There are a number of very funny situa-
tons and the dialogues are most anus
ing. The piece is one that should greatly
please the audience. The fact that the
programme Is to be given only two nights
instead of three, as heretofore, at this
parish, has cause some speculation The
reason is that When three nights were
taken in the past one performance of
the three was not very well attended,
and it is expected that the two perform
ances next week will draw large crowds

drama, which will be presented by st.

is said to be full of strong dramatic
scenes and high class comedy. There is

successfully managed theatricals in this
parish for a umbe of years, is now
gathering together a cast that will do the
play justice. All the old time favorites
will be seen in the play and a few new
ones who have shown talent will also
acciet in fha nraSentaffon.
The Empire Comedy Company is busy
nowadays adding to its repertoire and per-
fecting several pieces now in hand. Sew
eral dates are booked and a busy season

It would seem as though all the large

crowded into one month, when the fact is
taken into consideration that next We'd
nesday's two weddings will increase the
society matrimonial celebrations OF Jersey
city to five for November alone. beginning
with that Miss Mckenzie of New
York to Mr.. Isaac Pearson of this
city, and ending with that Of
Miss Burgett to Mr.. Dear, on We'd

in between have been that of Miss
Van Der Beck to DR.. Culver, on November
8. and that Of Miss Perry to Mr.. George

with the wedding of Miss Dixon, to take
place as above mentioned. completes The
