ed between acts by an orchestra COM
posed of some of the leading mu-
sicians of Clifton.
A short talk as to the personnel of
the cast will not be out of place.
Walter Clark, as Robert Bruce,
represented a heavy part and con-
Quoted himself in such a strikingly
manly way as to win the admiration
of the audience. Porter Parker, as
Muggins, the boot-black, was Johnny
oh-the-spot. He did splendid and is
hard to beat. Clyde PreCtyman, as
The Vampire, acted his part with the
grace and confidence of a profess
sional. Walter Millert, who made
such hit on the stage some time
ago, acted the part of jackson, the
Vampires partner. to perfection and
was the recipient of many compli-
ments from the audience. J. J.
Quinn, another familiar face on the
local stage, acted the part of Smoky
Jim with credit to himself and his
companions. Geo. O'Connell, as
George Washington Pollux, porter of
the Redlight saloon, had his part
down pat and acted true as life. Old
Bruce was well represented by Pro-
lessor Prettyman. Lena Miller, as
Lillian Bruce, held her own with
those who took part. Fannie Ber-
man also did well in acting the part
OF Jane MOntrOse. Kate was taken
by Mrs. Roy Colburn in a most credit
able manner.
When it is considered that this is
the first performance given by this
troupe, Professor Prettyman is to be
congratulated upon having so appro-
priately selected each person for the
place. This is the first of a series of
plays which the company will put on
in the near future.
Arrangements have been made for
the company to reproduce the play
at Morenci next Saturday night and
the Morenci people should not miss
1t, as it is as good as the best outside
troupes that perform on the local
