TRY GIRL"

Miss kathryn kidder presented "'Fhc
Country Girl at the Howard Opera House
Friday night to a highly pleased audience
and III manner that thoroughly justified
the praise that preceded her appearance.
Ihc story of the comedy. which is an
adaptation of David Garrick's, is that of
an innocent country girl, who, being left
an orphan at an early age. is compelled by
an old, designing guardian to accept him
as her husband and who keeps her under
lock and key at all times, so that she may
not come in contact with more interesting
men. or learn the ways of the world He
takes her to London in order to arrange
some details pertaining to her fortune,
which he hopes to seize upon, Immediately
he has married her. Here she meets some
friends OF her guardians with whom she
carries on a Irritation and evtntuallr
cvadeS him, slips away with a young gem
tleman and drives her guardian to distrac-
tion. The guardian forces her TO write "A
letter to the young gentleman and protest
against his attentions. This she does, but
While his back is turned she changes the
wording of the letter and so compels her
guardian to carry her lover a note of af-
lection, instead of the one of reproach he
thinks he has carried. She finally, through
disguise in the cloak of "A sister of her
guardian, slips away and marries her

appeared TO all advantage ana portrayed
the character I'm delightful manner. With
spirit and dash she entered into all the
situations, and her love scene in the park
and the letter-writing scene in the third
act, were far above the conception of the
conventional comedy elements, establish
ing her as one of the most delightful come
diennes who have appeared here in long
time.
Miss kidders company is a very capable
one. she being surrounded by several ac-
tors OF considerable reputation. Mr., Louis
Massen as "Harcourt," presented the char
acter in finished manner, and although
the part is not long one, it was made
very prominent by him. Mr.. Robert V.
Ferguson as "Sparkish," is "A comedian of
the old school, hut nevertheless very
pleasing. His drunken scene In the last act
was capital. Mr.. Orr s Cash, handsome
and dashng youth, presented "eBlville' in
a most capable manner and shared the
honors with Miss Kidder in the love scene
In the park during the second act. The
character of Moody, the crusty old guard
ian, was taken on short notice by Mr.. STAN
ley, Mr.. Rees having left the company at
Montpelier on Thursday. Mr., Stanley por-
trayed the role>in a panstaking manner.
Special scenery and the pretty and bright
costumes helped to make The Country
Girl" a delightful entertainment.

Goldsmths charming literary farce come
DIV so well given. The performance from
start TO finish was most gratifying to all
friends of the University, and the many
who were present enjoyed the fun to the
utmost.
The players showed in all details thor
ouGh training and hard work. The ease
and sureness with which they recited their
lines, their heartiness. their freedom from
stage-fright were noticeable. AS a whole
they played together well-showed good
team work.; they were at home upon the
stage and enjoyed the play not less than
the audience itself. The usually awkward
hands were for the most part well man
aged and if the elocution was not all that
could have been desired it was not more
faulty than is usual with amateur actors,
