UNION STATION."
Moosalamoo Clubs Big Enter
tainmert Meets With Spien-
did Success


Union Depot for Day" showed to a
packed house last Friday evening, and
the show was big success. When it is
considered that in the production there
were about as speaking parts, besides a
large number participating in the chorus
es, etc, it will be seen that the friction
less production of such show is a mat
ter of congratulation to the club and its
| friends. The music, under dire ction OF
Mrs. Miner, was just right, and there
was plenty of it. To Miss Laurel Hardy,
of the Beck Entertainment Bureau of
Boston is due the credit for the coaching
of the big team.
"Unon Depot" has as its basic idea the
scenes in a big railway station, with the
cosmopolitan crew that passes in day
and to the amatures who 80 successfully
impersonated the large range of charact
er delineation is due great deal of cred
| it.
Mrs. John H. Stewart as "Mrs. Garru-
| lous", and Mr.. Tuck as "Joe Gammin"
made great fun all through the play.
To Mrs. Cushing Hill and Benz. Stewart
is due much praise for dramatic and
musical skit of high order. deacon
Longface," known in private life as Mr..
Leeds, impressed all with the dignity of
his department and the great need of
repentance, while Mrs. Leeds acted

able
Uncle Josh" and Aunt Sarah. reg.
pectively J. d. Woods and Miss l.. M
Merrill, made great sport for the audi
ence, Josh" was out for a good time
even at the cost of quarter, while
Sarah" tended to her knittin and did
her best to keep the old gent straight.
"Mr. Henpeck" alias E. s. 8. Sunder-
land, was ruled over by the iron hand of
the Missus and was never sure that his
soul was his own, as his Gorgon-like
spouse-Mrs. F. w. Beckwith-kept him
in. state of abject servility. 1t is be-
lieved that this sketch alone will be re-
sponsible for the delaying of several mar
riages in town this winter.
| Cushing Hill as "The Dude made sides
ache with his portrayal of the part, and
| the only regret Is that his stunt was
too short. Miss Ober as "Ariminta Fish
well' was decidedly cute MISS who earn
ed for herself the hand and fortune and
numerous progeny of joseph Smith in
just about four minutes by the clock.
This young lady evidently knows how to
enthrall the masculine heart in short
order. "Joseph Smith, otherwise
| George Shambo. made 1.-THE funeral bake
meat serve for the wedding dinner" and
he acted as though he enjoyed it,too-all
but getting on his knees.
A very happy and lively couple were
Mrs. n. 5. Foote and her newly hitched
spouse. Robt. Hunt. "On with the
dance, let Joy be unconfned'', was the
KEY note of their act, and their Joy was
communicated to the audience, which
greeted them tumultuously.
Charles Cheney, as mike O'Toole",
looked and acted the part of an old time
section hand in splendid fashion, and
with his Teutonic partner,E P.Seymour,
as Hans Bickerstein" made one of the
hits of the show 1t is difficult to under
what previous experience has given to
Elk Editor Seymour his pronounced
Socialstic tendency, as shown in his
stunt,
A lady Of much decision of character
and with IA volubiity of expression equal
ed by few was Miss Beacon Street, OF
Boston, of course, Mrs. Noble did this act
in the highly finished manner which is
characteristic of her work. "Willle -ay
little" belied his title, for he certainly
said too much to be popular with his
Auntie. Mss Pinney, "Wilie" was a
bold. bad kid and needed several long
spankings; this young man is known to
the initiated as Artist Jackson, Jr., and
he is block of the old CHIP
Much other good work was done, no.
ticeably that of Mrs c. l. Button. Mrs.
E P. Cushman, Misses Gardner and
Buzzell, Messrs Sterns and Benedict,
and others. Suffice it to state that the
Moosalamooites may be congratulated on
the production, which exceeded even the
previous dramatic efforts of the club
and its friends
To the students of Middlebury Col
lege is due the credit for the fine finale
of the piece, as vel as other parts dur
ing the evening.
