The STAFFORD Dramatic club gave the
four-act comedy, "For One Night Only, -
to a well-hlled house Saturday evening at
the Town hall. This play, one Of the
longest ever given by this club, was full Of
laughter from beginning TO end, abound
ing in funny situations.
The work OF w. X. Sanborn as Prof.
Martin Goldwhinney was fully up 10 his
usual standard OF humorous portrayal,
which is too well known in this vicinity
TO need commentator from this source
Every appearance on the stage OF +. p.

second and third acts " hen be was at his
best. r. Eliot Marshall IS Dr. leopold

impersonation, and Or. Charles Quimby
as Mr.. Charles Hawkins was in every de-
tail most successful in his role, VIM. NJ.
Hatch as his son, Jack Haw kins, won the
good " in Of his audience from the first by
the boyish sponteneity OF his acting.
Mrs. VIM. NJ. Hatch played Mrs. New
man with her usual grace and was most
charming young matron. Mrs. +. G.
Avery, who has an attractive stage pres
enee, gave a most creditsble performance
as Paula. Mrs. q. 4. Chandler as Mrs.
Goldwhinney brought out all there was in
ness and dignity. Much is always ex-
pected in the way OF drollery from Mrs.
+. B. Hazelton, nor did she, a. Rosa, dis
appoint her audience in this case.
The play as a whole left little to be de-
sired in the completeness Of its portrayal.
A good sum was realized by the club.
