 Characters in Joe the Waif''
 One of the best plays that appeared at the opera house this year was "Joe the Waif," We'd nesday night played by the Green Forest Dramatic Club. The "amateurs" were better than a great majority of professionals which have held down the boards here. Had our people known the merits of the play and the genuine entertainmenti it afforded the opera house would not have held the crowd. Oscar Cox, Dennis Myers, Chester Malone, Puckett, Miss Officer, Mrs. c. L. Scott and Miss Hattie Scott, the cast of characters, all acted their parts superbly and elicited h earty applause.-Eureka Springs Flashlight.
 The thrilling comedy drama of six acts entitled, "Joe the Waif or Pet of the Camp" was rendered by the Green Forest Dramatic Company at the Avmory Opera House on Tuesday night. The house was fairly filled but not as it should have been. The play was a good ono and was render- ed well. Oscar Cox, the mer- chant, Dennis Myers, his step. son, Chester Malone, foreman of the camp and Miss Hannah, Officer, Roberts wife, played their parts we'll. Especially we mention Mrs. c. L. Scott who took the part of "Joe the Wait" MT. Ed Puekett, Joe's colored friend, and Miss Hattie Scott, a servant who played their parts especially we'll The play should have been better patronized by our people as Judge and Mrs. Scott formerly lived here, and was one of the best teachers we ever had in our public school. The play was enjoyed by those that attended and they speak words of praise for Mrs. c. L. Scott who did the training for the Green Forest Dramatic company.-Harrison Banner.
 A fair audience greeted the performance of "Joe, the Waif" at our Opera House Tuesday evening by the Green Forest Dramatic Club. The drama was a most interesting one, full of life as we'll as pathos and was given in a manner which could not fail to please. Even with professionals it would be hard to excel the clever acting of the three ladies in the cast, Mrs. c. l.. Scott, her daughter Hattie and Miss Hannah Officer; and the young gentlemen, Messrs. Ed Puckett, Chester Malone, Oscar Cox and Dennis Myers all &C., quilted themselves with credit. Green Forest evidently has marked talent in the dramatic line, and in the hands of so capable an elocutionist as Mrs. Scott the best results are assur- ed.-Harrison Times.
 "Joe tho Waif," a comedy drama in six acts, was presented at the Eureka Opera house last night by the Green Forest Dramatic company, and had not the writer been informed in ad- vance that the performers were amateurs, nothing in the work done by any of the cast would in- dicate that they were other than professionals of many years ex- perience.
 As for the play, it is one of the cleanest, brightest and best comedy dramas that has been seen in our city this season. The play has a good plot with ex- citing incidents, and is different from the average comedy.
 Mrs. c. l.. Scott, as Joe the Waif, takes her part we'll and deserves special mention. Miss Hattie Scott as Patsey, and Ed Puckett as Adonis, both colored characters, furnished fun enough to keep the audience in jovial frame of mind. Miss Hannah Officer as Mrs. Roberts, MT. Chester Malone as Harry Metcalf.
