their histrionie accomplishments a vehicle
which was made famous by eminent Eng
lsh actors. among them the great VIII
lard. the young amateurs showed a most
commendable ambition.
Mr.. Albert L. Godoy, In the title role of
David Garrick," acquitted himself with
great credit. his presentation of the part
being a highly artistic conception. As
much can be said OF Miss Mary KOlbe,
who appeared as Ada. and who. in ad-
dition TO her accomplishments as an
artist, possesses an unusually sympa-
thetic and gracious address.
The Simon Ingot OF Mr.. George Davis
was perhaps trihe too young and philo-
sophie not sufficiently hypochondriac. Mr..
Francisco A. Godoy, as Squire Chivy,
also added his share 10 the success Of the
play by bis good acting The minor parts.
every one of which was in competent
hands. were as follows: Miss Araminta
