uncle Terry" William Gilps drama
tization from Charles Clark Munn's
popular book of the same name was
presented in the Auditorium Tuesday
/ evening before a fair-sized audience.
To those especially who had not read
the book and whose interest in the
succeeding developments was not
partially removed by knowing the
Zines" in advance, the play appealed
as a very strong piece of rural New
England comedy. 1t was absolutely
clean and wholesome. none of the
, characters were overdrawn, yet all
: fulfilled the requirements of their rules
; to the letter. James r. Waite, in the
r part of Uncle Terry" was one Of the
) best actors in this particular style
: that has ever come to BrattleborO, and
] the parts of Nicholas Frye" by
t Arnold NJ. Alexander, ALBERT Page,
] by Edward Wonn, and Frank Mason,
by Francis Jones, were acted with eX
cellent judgment.
