Harry Choate, the gifted actor. pre-
sented for the entertainment of his
many friends both old and new,
pretty domestic comedy. AN I'm
equal Match" at the opera house,
Tuesday night, the cast being taken
by some of Warsaw's best local talent,
trained by Mr.. Choate during the
past few weeks. The house was pack
ed from doors to footlights with de.
lighted audience, a compliment to Mr..
Choate, and making the play a fin
anclal success for the NJ. w. A. Con-
cert band for whose benefit it was Civ.
en-. The ladies and gentlemen in the
cast, we'll acquitted themselves, play
ing their several parts with the ease
and air of professionals, the general
verdict being that they played better
than half of the professio. al com
panies showing at the opera house.
Harry Choate was at his best in the
character of the old farmer having lost
none of his old-time vim and spirit.
His recitation of that stirring old
poem "Shamus O'Brien,, between
acts, thrilled his audience. and called
forth storms of applause. The Column
bian Male Quartet-trained local tai
ent-made capital hit between acts,
and Master Harry Troutvetter in a
whistling solo, and encore. proved
himself the peer of all stage whistlers
either male or female: this was the
unanimous verdict; his whistling is
wonderful. To especially give credit
to each character in the cast would
be impossible, comparisons would be
lnvldlous as all were good; all were
stars, and could go On the road today
and make money. A fine orchestra
composed of piano, cornet violin,
drums and cello, rendered sweet
! music. Mr.. Choate thanks his many
friends for their liberal support and
encouragement. and promises to return
in March and present another play
he says Warsaw has a great deal or
exceptionally good dramatic talent. La.
Harpe has sent for Mr. Choate to as.
sist talent there in presenting a play
for the benefit of the Carnegie library
and he left for that city Wednesday
noon. Carthage wants him when he
gets through at LaHarpe, and he ex-
poets to put in the winter in this
work in this part of the state and
perhaps neighboring states, making
Warsaw his headquarters.
