AUDIENCE DELIGHTED
PLAYS OUR LOCAL TALENT PRODUCE
Are AN EDUCATION
Hampered by Lack Of Stage Room

Again was the audience in Odd Fell
lows Hall on Tuesday night, delight
ed with this opera, given for the
benefit Of the Westminster orchestra.
The hall was comfortably filled, and
everyone enjoyed it. Nothing was
noticeable in the performance, differ
ent from previous nights, unless it
was the acting of Mr.. Mikesell, whose
grasp Of the difficult part of Gen.
knickerbOcker was more firm.
1t is apparent to everyone who at
tended these performances that we
should have an opera house or town
hall. Plays such as our local talent
produce are an education in all that
is elevating and beautiful, and we
want them continued. But the play
ers are hampered for lack of stage
and dressing room. In addition, the
audience is not seated comfortably.
We have many generous and public
spirited men and women in this town,
more perhaps, than any other town
of it's size in the State. Let them
take up this matter and devote a lit
tie attention to some. home missionary
work They will be more than repaid
for their labors in gratitude, If not
in cash.
Another thing that should be done,
is the organization of dramatic as
sociation. With the orchestra and
our talent, we believe that no stronger
can be formed in the state. Think of
the advantages which would be gained
by it! The music and the costumes,
would belong to the association;
they would be kept together, and then
you would not have to incur much ex-
pense when you wished to produce the
same or a similar play. Take this
one for an example; we venture to
assert that what has been spent for
hiring the Japanese costumes would
have paid for the making of them.
The association owning them you
would not have to go to that expense
when "The Mikado'' is given, which
we hope will be soon.

sociation, these two things we need;

but what we need that we usually get

Charles Dillingham's newest Offering
in the musical comedy line is "The
Old Town." to be presented at the
Academy Of Music, Baltimore, the
week of November 22nd.
The piece was written by George
Ade and Gustav Luders for the ex-
ploitation of Montgomery & Stone,
long held in high regard, was found :
ed in "The Wizard of Or" and main
tained in "The Red Mill" 1t is said
that the large following of the two
comedians will not be disappointed
by them in "The Old Town" They ap-
pear as stranded showmen, Scotch
men, Swedes, Japanese and cowboys,
and the atmosphere of each specially
is convincingly real. They dance
through the light and tuneful music
of the piece with an abandon familiar
to their admirers and Fred Stones
lariat dance where he makes moose
to form gyrations about his head and
feet while dancing at high speed has
made a sensation.
The company numbering 98 people
is of the usual high order of merit
associated with Mr.. Dillingham's pro

Echoes In the Corridors.

One of them is that Mr.. Ralph Reif-
snider, the popular son-in-law of Mr..
Gilbert, will be one of his deputies.
Although Mr.. William Arthur has
not announced his deputy register,
we have it on good authority that it
will be his brother-in-law, Mr.. Harry
Rinehart, Frizellburg.
It is said that Rev. w. L. Seabrook,
who is to be the chief deputy under
Mr.. Gilbert, will have difficulty in
matering the details of the work,
which have been so well and faith
fully performed, and the fntricacies of
which have been so carefully guarded,
by Mr.. Geo. A. Miller, for AZ years.
This is disputed by many Of his
friends, who assert that he will be per-
fectly able to transact them without
the assistance Of Mr. Miller or anyone
else,
HeW many disappointed ones will
their be after the first Of December!
