HUNTSVILLE
DRAM

MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION AT
THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Considerable Ability Displayed by AM

The Huntsville Dramatic company

very creditable amateur performance.

wore on, rouge and alabaster gradual

comeliness of feature should have pre-

facilities and expedients OF the pro-
fessional stage.
Adam l.. Peterson. as General Bur-

throughout the piece and rendered his
lines with intelligence and care.
Elizabeth Peterson, as Nanette, had
a very difficult role. and for an anna
teur the lady did very well with it.
In some portions of the lines her rem.
dItion could not have been better,
while In others her grasp of the situa-
tion, while well-meant. was hardly
strong enough for the desired effect
George f. Ferrin. as Michael Hat
field. the agitator, was good. He dis
played an exceptional amount of in
tensity throughout and read most OF
his lines with effect.
Little Rela Schade, five years or
age, played her part eXccllently for
one SO young and her appearance dur

E. L. Withers and A. E. Lehman
