The Sequachee Dramatic Club
Adds Another Success to
its RepertOry.

The presentation of THE Last
Loaf, on Saturday night was "A graft
tying performance and one which those
participating may well be proud of and
those who failed to see it-and there
were many-missed an enjoyable &C.
casion.
The cast of the play was excellent,
and the staging and other accessories
were complete.
Mr.. w. r. Thomas as Mark Ashton,
played his part carefully and thor
oughly, and was especially effective in
his drunken entrance on the stage and
the parts succeeding dependant there
on. Miss Louise Hill as Mrs. Ashton
was very effective. Miss Grace Thorn
as as Lilly Ashton, was excellent and
presented very pretty appearance.
Her acting was also very natural and
as the daughter of the Ashton family,
she filed her part charming. Miss
True Randle was all that could be de-
sired as Patty, filing the difficult part
in manner that was bright and viva
cious. Miss Randle has very natur-
al style of acting and her achievement
as Patty may be ranked as great sue
cess. Jackson Lee filled the part of
Harry Hanson very nicely and presen-
ted very neat appearance. Mr.. Lee
took the part on great solicitation from
the members of the Club, and his as
sistance was of great benefit in COM
pleting the cast. He presents a nice
appearance ON the stage and should
continue the work. James Houts pre-
sented his initial appearance on the
stage, taking the part of Chubbs, the
suffering butcher, in good style. His
make up was excellent and some even
whisper that they know of little Jew
butchers in Chattanooga that look just
as he did, wearing mustache and
white cap and apron. W. G. Hill fill
ed the part of Bustle, the baker, in
his usual style Chas. Curtis, as Ca
leb Hanson, filled his part excellently,
and presented nice appearance, as he
always does ON the stage.
The plot of the play is very closely
connected and absorbs interest until
the closing lines are reached. 1t is a
temperance play of high character,
telling a story of wrong, and its recti-
flying in bright and lively manner,
and above all, preaching moral that
may we'll be taken advantage of dur
ing these holidays to come, when in
the minds of many the idea is preva-
lent that the birth of Christ can best
be celebrated by getting drunk, carous-
ing and sometimes killing their fellow
creatures. 1t is to be hoped the moral
Will be manifest. The Sequachee Ora
matte Society is to be congratulated
on the clean tone of the plays it pre-
sents, devoid of anything that may
present wrong idea to the minds, of
people, young or old.
The splendid acoustic properties of
the Hall were we'll demonstrated, and
the whole performance was very salts
factory, so much so that several have
expressed desire for its repetition.
Through the kindness of Mr.. L. L.
bearing, the Mandolin Club, of Whit
well, consisting of Messrs. Daffron,
Hibbs, Hooper, Graham, Hartman and
bearing, came at their own expense
and furnished the music for overture,
intermission and close of performance.
Their playing was much appreciated.
The gross receipts of the evening
We're $14 90 and although the audience
was not as numerous as should have
been, the excessive darkness and other
causes may have been the reason for
| the non attendance of some, but we
repeat what we said at the beginning
of this article, those who failed to be
there missed a treat.
