selves Ia a Difficult
Production.
STERLING PLAY WELL RENDERED.

The Athletic association of the Eng
fish high school received a neat sum
last night from the proceeds of the en-
tertainment given by the Junior class
in the school hall.
The seating capacity of the hall is
about 500, including the galleries, and
it was fully occupied last night, even
to the corridors on the sides.
The program opened with violin
solo by Joseph Riedl, which was fol-
lowed with a song from Twelfth
Night" and one from 1.-THE Tempest"
by Miss Ethel Briefly. Albert Gray
then sang, 1T was a lover and his
Lass from LAS You Like 1t, and
Humbert Lamotte played a violin SOLO
The first part closed with the waltz
song from Romeo and Juliet" by Lii
liam Hanson Gray.
Before the curtain, which was deco
rated with a large 1900 and the perth
nent figures 49," went up on the first
scene in 1.-THE Merchant of Venice, !"
in which the young actors took part
several groups of the pupils made the
hall resound with unspellable class
yells.
The song prologue was given by AL
bert Gray, dressed in the costume of a
clown, and the curtain rose on the first
scene, which showed the sealing of the
bond with Shylock (Ralph Lyford) An
tonic Gouis Israeli and Bassanio (Ja-
cob Mattuck).
Scene two was the comedy act by
Launcelot Gobbo Crank Christenson)
and old Gobbo civilian O'Brien. in
which Launcelot left Shylocks employ
ment. In the third scene Launcelot
delivered Bassanio's message to Jessica
(IIilda Holiness. Then Shylock, Jes-
sica and Launcelot had a conversation
about Shylocks leaving. In the fifth
scene the conversation between Solanio
(Herbert Pender) and Salinario MAR
Gus Bullard) relative to Jessica's flight,
took place, and the sixth showed Soda
rio and Salinario talking with Shylock
about Antonios losses.
During the intermission, while the
stage was being arranged for the last
scene, Miss Ruth Nelson played a pi-
ano solo. The seventh and last act
was the famous court scene in which
Shylock is finally dumbfounded by the
wisdom of Portia (Ethel JOrdan). The
last scene was the most elaborate of
any in which all the players took part,
and which was carried through with all
the ease of experienced actors. Miss
Ethel Holmes delivered the epologue
as the curtain went down on the last
scene.
The other characters were taken by
the following: Leonardo, Louis Fem
gold; Gratanio, Frank Stowell; Nerfssa,
Adeline Damon; Duke of Venice, Wal
ter Prince; clerk, Fred Hendrickson.
Miss Marietta Knight and Miss Eliz-
abeth Woodman have the credit of
training the actors and being in charge
of the entertainment.
After the play, dancing in the lower
corridor was enjoyed to the music of a
hurdy-gurdy and tambourine.

hang a sign over the. door of a starched

no.

HOSKINS NAMED FOR MAYOR
Democrats of Philadelphia Nominate
u Municipal Ticket.

PHILADELPHIA, January 19.-The dem
Ocratic city convention today nominated
DIR. w. Horace Hoskins for mayor, Frank
R. Shattuck for city solicitor and John A.
Thornton for magistrate. The election will
be held February 81. The democratic party
is greatly in the minority in the city and
is furthermore seriously divided into fac
tons, known as the Ryan and Delahanty
factions.
The Ryan faction controlled todays con-
vention and its proceedings were harmoni-
Gus. Though the republican ticket headed
by Samuel H. Ashbridge, is expected to
carry the city by a large majority, the
minority by law is entitled to one magis-
trate. This ordinarily would insure the
election of Thornton todays nominee for
that Office but the other democratic fac
ton, under the name of the Andrew Jack
son party, will, it is declared, place in
nomination James E. German, the present
incumbent, and thus carry the fractional
fight to the polls.
