BIG SUCCESS WAS
SACRED HEART
PLAY
Diamonds and Hearts" Given
at High School Auditorium
Monday Evening.

Diamonds and Hearts," presented
at the auditorium of the Central High
school Monday evening was success.
The comedy drama was put on by the
choir Of the Sacred Heart church, and
from the time the curtain raised on
the first scene. till 1t dropped on the
last one. there was something doing.
The various characters were eXcep-
tionally we'll taken. The specialties
rendered between acts were of high
class, and never once did the audi
ence lose interest in the entertain
men;.
The success scored was a highly
deserved one. For the last few weeks,
the members of the cast have been
working hard to get the play into
shape for presentation. and their work
was not in vain. Every member of
the cast deserves high praise for the
manner in which his or her part was
carried through.
The leading role, that of Bernice
Halstead, "a young lady with an af-
lection Of the heart, a love for fun
and hatred of arithmetic" was we'll
taken by Miss Hazel Burton. She
seemed right at home on the stage,
and had the entire support of the au-
dience at all times. Miss Burton GER
tainly made good"
The parts of Amy Halstead and Inez
Gray. sister and friend respectively
Of Bernice, were taken by Miss Lila
Craig and Dot Sullivan. Both of these
young ladies did we'll, their work on
the stage being as good as the best.
Local people will look forward to the
time when they shall have the oppor-
tunity to again see them on the stage.
Mrs. Tessier and Mrs. H. Burton ac-
Quilted themselves with honors last
night. The former took the role of
Mrs. Halstead, widow and stepmother
of the Halstead girls 1.-THE latter that
of Hannah Mary Barnes, or "Sis," a
maiden lady keeping house for her
brother.
Dwight Bradley a fortune hunter
was the part taken by A. Davis. The
character of the william was we'll pre-
scented by him, and those who did not
know otherwise, might believe that the
impersonator of the prosecutor of Ber-
nice Halstead was born bad man."
Neil Kelleher never fails to please,
and he took the part of Abraham
Barnes, the Yankee farmer still un-
married at 40 years. His work last
night was of the same high-class that
he always gives out, and as comedi-
an, there was none better.
Louis Ryan and Ed. Supernault took
the parts of the sheriff and attorney
respectively, and were good.
The hit of the evening was the
specially introduced by Cleary Mon
ley, entitled "A Champion Pug" He
was assisted by chorus of seven, and
repeated encortes were given. Miss

Since Mccarthy Changed the Num-
Der on the Door," by Neil Kelleher,
was a speciality that pleased the audi
ence highly.
Linus Sullivan made a hit in sing
ing, "The Mick that Threw the
Brick" The young man did the
stunt" in first-class shape, and re-
ceived we'll deserved encore.
Miss Albina Williams gave a recita-
ton, which was also very good, and
was appreciated by the audience.
Miss Hazel Burton sang, Nothing
is too Good for the Irish," with much
success. She has an excellent voice,
and her singing last night captivated
her hearers.
The two choruses of young ladies
were good features of the evening pro-
