DRAWS GOOD SIZED AUDIENCE.-A
 PLEASING SUCCESS.
 The Town hall was comfortably well filled. Friday evening, by the friends
 of the High school pupils to hear the
 reproduction of the scenes from three
 jus C8sar,' GAS You Like It" and
 Twelfth Night" The scenes were
 all we'll rendered, in fact remarkably | we'll for such amateur performers. As
 they did not profess to be the "Bear Greek Company" or any other pro-
 fessional company, there is no criti- cism of the stage and it's settings. It was all that was necessary. and no more than was necessary to carry out the idea of the plays, without any great stretch of the imagination on the part of the audience. The per | formers, to all outward appearance, l felt no restraint whatever and carried | their parts with perfect ease and fa- miliarity. The parts were all taken | with great credit to the performers ! and we'll deserved the tribute of ap- plauSe given them.
 The scene between Brutus and Cas- sius was touching in the extreme and it was not difficult to see the love between these two friends. even in their quarrel. Equally we'll were the Olivia in her stately dignity and sad ness and Malvolio the simple would have done credit to older actors. Celia, too, in her pleadings with her father, Duke Frederick, carried her part we'll. Maria, the maid, who played her girlish pranks on Malvolio, did very nicely and her liveliness was we'll relished by the audience. Lucius in his sleepy act, and Festus, the fool, was fine piece of acting. In fact the opinion of the audience was that the parts were all well carried with out any comparisons. It is hardly just to draw any comparisons in a class of High school scholars who are attempt ing to amuse their friends by making more clear to them some of the scenes of the "star" of the evening. It seems altogether unfair to place one above another in an amateur performance such as this. They were all stars, in fact the stage was grand constelia- tiOn from start to finish.
 The teachers deserve great credit in the assigning of parts and drilling the players. The scholars deserve equal credit in the way they carried their parts, and in learning them so thor oughly. The singing by the chorous enjoyed by ail as espeoialIy ~ah she sons "Lfzette. We hope this may not be the last time we shall witness scenes from Shakespeare from our own plat form and by our own children.
