SUPERDLY PRESENTED

William Macauley and his excel
lent company delighted large audi
ence at the opera house Saturday ev.
ening in w. B.. Patton's newest play,
When We Were Friends" It is a
cleverly written play and was clev-

sustained the reputation previously
acquired by him and every member
of the company won praise.
