The hall on the Green was filled bya
large audience on Wednesday, Decem-

production of captain Letterblair, ~
and it is not too much to say,
that more satisfied and delighted
audience never left the hall. The per-

high standard set our amateurs. DR.

cannot be accorded Miss Brown for her
admirable stage management and in
deed hearty congratulations are due to
all.
