The Lion and The Mouse.

Chandler Music hall was packed Mon
day night. when that iavoriie play. "The
Lion and the Mouse was presented by
company quite equal TO the one seen in
this same play at the Park theatre in Pos
ton last season.
Walter Edwards in the role Of John
Burkett Ryder was even more vivid than
Arthur Byron of the Boston company in
his impersonation Of the domineoring. ir-
ritable, business-driyen, nervous finan-
cier, smoking like a chimney and snarl-
ing like a tiger over trivial demands on
his valuable time. Charles z. Pitt. who
played jefferson Ryder, the rich young
man straining At the leash Of his fathers
will and irresolutely yielding TO the half
stified emotions Of his better nature, sue
ceeded in presenting an artistic Concep-
tion Of the rebellious youth more satisfy
ing than that OF his rival in the Park
theatre cast.
Edith Barker a. the heroine, Shirley
RossmCre, had charm and dramatic pow
er. but could not quite rise to the fine
frenzy q Gertrude CC.klan in THO cerun-
citation scene. and her voice was too light
for a long impassioncd speech tbat must
not end in a hysterical shrek. Eta BE-
ker Martin admiralty portrayed tie inde-
cisive society lady, Mrs. Ryder. easily
futtered and undeniEbly afraid Of the i'm
patient Mr. Ryder.
These principal characters had the best
OF support in Charles Il. Burridge .Sena-
tor Roberts,, II. Recs Davis Judge Ross
morel, Luke Martin Judge stcttl. Cliff
ford Leigh (Hon. Fitzroy Bsgluy), Mrs
samuel Charles Z Mrs. Rossmore), George
Barr fthe imperturbable Jvrkins) aud the
other members OF the company. They
were a band OF elderly players, with the
exception cf those cast for distinctly
youthful parts, and needed but little
maAe-up TO produce the impression Of age
and dignity.
The Music hall orchestra was increased
10 nine musicians for this occasion by the
addition Of 4. II. Chamberlin, violini-t,
and Drummer Spoke-iield Of Hanover.
The music rendered was Of a superior
quality.
The play attracted numbers of people
from Bethel. South Royalton, Rraintree,
Brookfield and other towns around. who
were enthusiastic in their expressions Of
pleasure.
Mr. and Mrs. W. VI. Sargent of South.
Royalton were present as the guests OF
their cousins. Mr.. and Mrs. L. 3. John
son; DR.. and Mrs. r. VI. Chase of Bethel
