 Breezy Point"
 That men are absolutely superfluous in a dramatic production was most clearly and forciblv demonstrated in town hall Friday evening when twelve Canaan ladies presented Breezy Point" under the auspices of Christ Church. They played to what, in theatrical parl- ance, would be known as a capacity house, i. G., every seat was taken and the production was termed every good" by everyone who saw it. Now over In York state every good" would mean simply fair to meddling but in the nut. meg state the native uses the term to express his entire satisfaction. When he says every good" he means first-class. It is the highest compliment he can pay. Mrs. Victor M. Coe and her sister, Miss ] Main as the Hardscratch twins were greated by storms of applause as was Mrs. Hitchcock in the dual role of Mrs. Hardscratch and Mehitable Doolittle. Mrs. VosburG as Ashrael, the waif also' appealed to the disabilities of the audience as did Mrs. R. D. Pelroe as Fantine, the French maid. Miss Taylor handled we'll the character part of Old Glenn, the gypsy, Miss Ferris sustained in pleas ing manner the part of Aunt Debby Dexter, Miss Walton's interpretation of "Elinor Pearl" was very satisfactory and the Misses Hill, Pease, Graney and Wilcox as the vivaeious, attractive, en- thusiastic girls from boarding school, sustained their roles in a manner that held the close attention of the audience, Miss-but that seems to be all of them, 13 characters well played by 12 ladies. It was play that gave the audience an opportunity for many hearty laughs and plays of this sort are the ones that have the every good" stamp of approval placed upon them. The stage settings were most realistic, particularly for the first and third acts. Most excellent music was provided before and during the play and for the dance by MT. Par sons and daughter of Winsted. l.
