DICKENS DRAMATIZED.
The dramatized selections from
Dickens given at the Lyceum on Fri
day night was one of the best amateur
performances ever produced in Nor
ristown. The costumes were those of
the time in which the author wrote
and followed the original illustrations
accurately. One of the gowns belonged
to the grandmother of the actress who
wore it and the red coat of Lieutenant
Tappleton was also an heirloom.
The house was well-fflled by the
friends of the actors and people who
were interested in st. Barnabas Hos
pital, to which the proceeds of the
entertainment were given.
Among those in the boxes were Mr..
and Mrs. Hall, Mr.. and Mrs. Humph-
reys, Mr.. and Mrs Cutler, Miss Hall,
and Miss Foster, Dr.. and Mrs. Hughes,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell, Mr.. Humphreys,
Miss Bell, Miss Robbins, DIR. and Mrs
Fayette Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. Kissel
and Mr.. and Mrs. Thebaud.
In order to explain the selections to
those who were not familiar with
Dickens and to refresh the memories
of those who were, Hon. Mahlon Pit
ney gave short Introduction to each
act before the curtain rose. The
scenes from Pickwick and the Ken
wigs Anniversary received especial
applause. A feature of the evening
were the solos given by Miss Robbins,
the guest of Mrs. Hughes. Miss Rob
bins singing was enthusiastically en-
cored. She was accompanied by Mr.
Louis Curtis The solos by Mr. Sid
ney Baldwin were much appreciated.
