In Walhalla, Mr., and Mrs. O'Oise are

Mrs. Smith--Miss Jennie Cobb.
Mr.. and Mrs. DOize, Miss Werner
and Guy T. Grove assumed the heavy
roles, and too much could not be said
in praise of the marked ability they
displayed. 1t was known that both
& Mr.. and Mrs. D'Oize were eminently
+ lifted to assume any role, but the tai
ent displayed by the two latter was far
greater than their most ardent ad-
( mirers had anticipated. Their acting
4 was perfect, easy and graceful, and
they acquitted themselves in a man
lper to bring credit to people accus-
tPmed to appearing before the foot
lights The other members or the
\ cast were no less perfect in their re-
spective parts, but the scope was not
sufficient to bring their talents o;;. to
SO marked a degree. Altogether the
I play and the cast are admitted to
have been the best that has ever been
before a Walhalla audience.
s David Garrick" was presented by
MIR. and MIS-. D'Oize under the auspi-
ces of the Oconee Monument Associa-
tion, which organization received as
Its share of the profits about twenty
five dollars after all expenses had
been paid. They feel grea'iy, in
debted to Mr.. and Mrs. D'Cixe and
the other members of the cast for the
interest taken and their valuable ser
vices rendered on behalf OF this wor-
thy cause. a.
The junior members of the associa-
tion sold candy and soft drinks to the
audience between acts, and in this
way realized 1925 extra, making in
all $28.25 netted to the. ssociation
J. to be added to the monument funds.
Tie play will he presented in Sen
eca this week, aud we take pleasure
in recommending Mr.. and Mrs. D'Oize
In the highest terms to the good peo-
pie OF that town, who will find them
to be worthy Of every effort on their
part to welcome them to their midst
and entertain them handsomely. .s.a
1t is understood that Miss Annie
Werner and Guy Il. Grove will take
the parts OF Miss Ingot and Mr.. Ingot
in the rendition Of the play at Seneca.
