The drama "Uncle Rube" was played
last Thursday evening to a large au-
dience. The parts were very we'll taken
and the play went without break from
beginning to end. All the actors did ex-
ceptionally well, but perhaps "Uncle
Rube" merits special mention. 1t was
the heaviest character in the play, and
Mr.. Charles Barden, who took the part,
impersonated it near to perfection and
received many compliments. The
specialties between acts consisted of
piano duets by Misses Lane and Marshall,
two trombone solos by Mr.. l.. NJ. Irish;
and vocal solos by Misses Miriam Lane
and Alice Barden, all of which were ap-
preciated by the audience. Mr.. Irish is
fine player, and was heartily recalled
at each appearance. Alice Barden also
received special applause for the fine
manner in which she sung her song 1.-TWO
Blue Little Shoes" The total receipts
of the evening were over fifty dollars,
and over forty dollars will be cleared.
