The presentation Of Damon and Py.
thias by Mr.. Frederick IA. Wilson AT
Carnegie Library la Il night under the

proved to be an entertainment OF ex-

The short musical program that pre-
ceded the rendition OF the play. was
very fine and was warmly compliment
ted by Mr.. Wilson himself for It's classic
beauty and excellent rendition.
The play Damon and Pythias" ID
familiar 10 all. and It's rendition last
night was without question the beat
one man play ever seen In Bryan. MIR.
Wilson impersonaied nine different
characters OF the playa most diff
cult thing 10 do-and yet each was
done with great credit. His rapid pas.
sages from one character to another,
change Of voice. facial expires sion. DO.
sition, etc. was little short OF wonder
full
The strong point Of the play-the
friendship Of Damon and PythIas-
was beautifully portrayed and made a
deep impression upon the audience.
The order Of Pythianism Is founded
upon this play and the mission OF Mr.
Wilson Is to Increase the interest In
this great order.

OF that building material A few days
