Produced at 'Pythiari Hall Under Dl-
 recton of Jeda Ingraham.
 '.East Lynne, or the Mopement,, a society drama froh the pen of Mrs Henry Woods, WSs produced at Pyt.s- ian hall last night by a local company of amateurs. The play, which was given for the beaeft of the Watervi tc baseball team, was staged and pco- duced under the personal direction or Jean 1ngraham. Notwithstanding the ilclement weather the production of the drama attracted a large audi ence which was delighted with the clever manner in which the amateurs portrayed their respective parts. They showed appreciation of the company's work by Hberally applauding the vari- ous ciinaxes.
 Each part In the production was ex- ceEIently enacted There were no weak characters. There was no flaw nor bl6mish to spoil the harmony. Each actor and actress had received special instructions in his or her part from Director Ingraham, who knows just what is necessary. Consequent- Iy the play was smoothly and finely performed, not even the little details being neglected
 Z To Jean Ingraham, name noted in local amateur theatrical circles, is due the greater credit for the successful performance last evening. For many nights be has labored long and earn estiy, moulding things into shape How well he succeeded was shown last night. It was another brilliant sue cess added to his long list. Jean not only managed the production, but also enacted the role of Lord Mt Severn. It suffices to say that his work was of the usual excellent nature.
 His wife, Josephine Moore Ingra- ham, portrayed the difficult roles of Lady Isabel and Madam Vine. A wo- man of versatile qualities is required dor this role. It is a difficult one for an amateur. Mrs Ingraham was more than equal to the occasion, however, and rose above an amateur in the por- trayal of the part. Whether as the charming. bewftching lover or the sad, grief stricken woman, deserted, by her false lover, she was always pleasing.
 Thomas McNahon scored a big hit as Archibald Carlyle. The public will anxiously await to see more of him in amateur productions of the fu- fnre. Neil Kott as Sir Francis Levi son performed his part ably and cred- itabIy. His work bordered on the professional. Daniel Lynch furnished much amusement as John Dfll.
 Miss Sarah Barker was decidedly nleasing as Cornelia Carlyle, Her tflts with Sir Francis were highly amusing.
 Miss Effie Calkins gave promise of possessing much ability as an actress. She is pretty of form 1.-the and win some, has pleasing manner and makes herself favorite with the au- dience from the beginning.
 The part of Barbara Hare could not have been in more capital hands than those of Miss Bertha Fenton, whose sweetness gave a wholesome relish to the part
 Miss Florence Barlow had little to do as Susanne, but did that little very well.
 One of the most pleasing characters of the evening was Jeannette Barlow in the role of Little Willie.
 As a whole the production was de- cided success and the management should feel proud of its efforts After the play dancing was enjoyed until IF o'clock.
 Director Ingraham announced that the company wohid produce ssKath- leen Mavourneen' in the near future.
