Having learned that people at

the article signed GA. in the issue of
the Sitter April II, i'll regard to
plays, l take this opportunity to de-
ny e1nphatically that l had any
thing whatever to do with it, and
that I characterize it as wholly I'M
called for and an insult to the Lon
donde~ry Dramatic Club, of which |
am a member, as we'll as to the West
River Dramatic Club. There are
two clubs in the village, the old
Londonderry Dramatic Club aud
the Falka Club. The Londonder-
nv Club as we'll as the West River
Club have been playing the so-called
"rural comedies and trashy farces"
and the Falka Club high toned
up-to-date dramas. The long
suffering public seem to enjoy their
long suffering judging by the
crowds that patronize these rural
comedies and trashy farces.'
