ed in Freeland for the first time. Every
admirer OF Shakespeare was pleased
with the acting Of E. n. Hoyt as Mer
Quito, Fannie Hoyt as the Nurse, Paul
inc PAUL. as Juliet and Charles Balsar a.
Romeo. They portrayed their chara cters
exceptionally well and had the support
| ing company been of the same high
standard the production would be fit for
| any stage. The absence of several
characters of the drama, whose presence
is necessary to give the story cohereuce,
who depended upon the acting to grasp
| the authors ideas.

erable success as romantic actor and

lecture the ST. Louis Republic says:
'No attempt to outline Colonel Hams
excellent address could do it justice. 1t
was replete with wholesome truth and
healthy moral, and the closing part, In
which he paid a grand tribute to the
God-fearng and virtuous home, and
made a touching plea for the American
boy as worthy of the best that could be
given to him, was an admirable piece of
fervid and patriotic oratory."
