Angell's Comedians

The Village Vagabond as presented
by Angell's Comedians at the opera
house last night deserves more than
casual mention. Not only was the
play itself we'll conceived in plot and
action, but the several parts were we'll
interpreted and happily cast. A strong
comedy element runs through the
play, dash of melodrama adds to the
interest and the Objectionable bonn
bast and sensationalism which has be-
come too common feature in recent
productions of this character was
largely absent. The special scenery
carried by the company added much
to the stage settings, Clever special
ties between the acts were we'll received
by the immense audience.-Atlantic

"THE HOLY CITY"
Story Founded on Incidents Told
In the Bible

The production of "The Holy City,"
to be given at the Grand opera house
October 24th, will be an agreeable sur
prise even to those who expect the
most from the play, and the presenta-
ton will be one that will live foryears
and receive constantly increasing
praise and patronage at the hands OF
the public. 1t is certainly daring
attempt to give play founded on
some OF the most stirring and tender
incidences in the Holy Word, and
only by the most carefuliavoidance OF
anything like sacrilege could the play
be made success. But this has been
accomplished by the author sand the
dialogue does not breath a single word
but what is pure and elevating in its
tendencies. The play is founded on
the incidents OF the Biblical story just
previous to and Immediately after the
crucifixion and the scene on Calvary
is shown in tableaux after the paint
ing by Michael Angelo. The presence
of Christ is frequently referred to, but
obviously it would be impractical and
offensive to attempt to represent the
Master on the stage, and this is not
done. But many OF those intimately
associated with Christ during His
time on earth, are presented with
a fidelity to the best conceptions OF
their characters and appearance, and
the result is play which is absorb
ing in interest and elevating in its
teachings.
Great care has certainly been shown
in the selection Of the cast, and the
leading parts will be taken by artists
OF exceptional ability, who will give to
the portrayal that skill and intelligent
conception which makes an enjoyable
performance. The entire presentation
is under the personal presentation Of
Clarence Bennett, the author OF the
play, who himself appears as "John
the Baptist"
The costuming and stage accessories
will be truly magnificent in every de-
tail, and the costuming especially will
be modelled after historical records of
the times in which the play is supposed
to be given. The barbaric splendors
of the court of Herod are contrasted
with the simple costumes of the fisher
men, Galileans and followers of the
Son of God.

Boy Bitten by a Dog

Last Friday Hubble Pickett was
twice bitten by dog while attending
school. The dog was captured after
considerable trouble and killed by the
city Marshal. A number OF dogs are
in the habit OF straying into the pub
lie school building and they are not
desirable adjuncts to the student body.
AS matter OF fact it is positively
dangerous to have them around where
there are so many little children and
the superintendent desires the REGIS
TER to state that in the future family
dogs must be kept at home or they
may come up missing. If you have
any family pet or valuable dogs keep
them at home.
