characters in the play in most fin
/ ished manner and the audience was en-
abled by her great powers of mimicry
to fairly witness the complete play
with all of the characters upon the

The great talent of Mrs. We'll gave
her hearers better idea of the story
of the play than they otherwise could
have had and each character was seen
as plain as though standing upon the

pleased with the program of the even

forgotten after sac had taken the par
of a character and the audience forgo
that it was not the real character VINO
