Strife"
The Chelsea Dramatic Co. played
"Strife" last Wednesday and Thursday
evenings. There was a large attendance |
both evenings not only from here but |
from the adjoining towns.
All the parts were taken in manner to
do credit to the company, which had not |
PLAYED for several years. The continuous |
applause, especially Thursday evening, |
was a guarantee that it was well received |
by the large audience. A. z. Rogers, who
was to play the Dutch part, was sick and |
unable to be present. John Nj. Atwood, |
who was home from New York, was given /
the part only two days before II was pre-
sented and made decided success of it.
The stage never looked so pretty, all the |
details OF a successful combination OF
color and effect were carefully looked after
by the ladies in the play.
The mob scene, with the new scenery /
painted by w NJ. Flanders, the red light |
on the tableaux and the many accessories
[ hat go to make up successful act, were
highly appreciated by the audience.
The social dance after the play Thursday
night was a very pleasant affair with tifty
couples participating. AlthOuBu TINS WAS
the Chelsea brass band orchestra's first APP
pearance in public il did well and was
surprise to the people with its new and
up-to-date music. Ii was fine advertise
ment for its future work as an or
chestra.
John NJ. Atwood made q successful
stage manager. The ladies' costumes were
correct in every detail and those of Mrs.
Lewis. as Laura Bell, who required five
changes, were especially fine.
Probably no two people could have been
selected, who had never played black face
parts, that could have carried out the parts
from start to finish as well as Bryant and
Griffin. Without specifying each MEM
Der, we can truly say that never did the
members OF the company throw them
selves into the work OF acting the parts
as in this play.
One feature that goes far to make the
plays of this company so successful Is
hat the members OF the company always
work together to please the people who
come to see them, and the managers, Blk
by and Hatch, spare no expense to ensure
4 success.
