A good audience attended the pre-
sentation of "The Great Conspiracy"
Monday evening. This play represents
an incident in the life of Napoleon
Bonaparte. and is the work of two young
summer residents, John M. Morris and
Frank B. Morris. The plot is chiefly
concerned with conspiracy against Ma
poleon, which is finally thwarted, with re-
sultant death to the leaders and escape
for the innocent parties involved. There
| is a love story in it, and a comedy ele-
ment. The performance was very pleas
| ing to the audience, not only as regards
the acting, which was excellent, but
| from their interest in it as an original
| production. There were numerous cur
tain calls at the close of the play.
