The presentation Of the drama,
Uncle JOSH" by local talent last
Friday night, was one of the decided
successes OF the career Of the local
theatrical people. There was not a
dry moment during the rendition Of
the play, not "break" by a member
of the company, and at the close
there was nothing but praise for the
players and the play. There was a
greater display Of real talent than is
customary for plays staged, acted
and managed by ameteurs. These
young people will be heartily well
coined again before the footlights by
the theater-goers of Walhalla. The
large audience that greeted them in
their appearance in "Uncle Josh"
was fattering, and the unanimity of
praise was doubly SO.
