| large audience at the normal school
last evening with his impersonation of
Henry ", one of Shakespeare's dramas.

tention of the audience. His work was
such as to be worthy of the hearty
commentator of his hearers.
Mr.. Trips entertainments are all
well worthy of attendance. Last even
ing he appeared under the auspices
of the normal dramatic club.

who were fortunate enough to hear
him lived delightful hour in the
court of the old English king.

ters so that they are recognized when
ever they appear-to glorify the imper-
feet but delightful Falstaff so that
you enjoy him without stint-to in
spire everyone with the beauty in the
character of the young Prince Harry
that is Mr. Trips art.
