Willowdale.

Lovers of wholesome comedy will
have an opportunity on Tuesday even
ing of seeing one of the funniest rura
plays ever written, when company oi
local amateurs under the direc ton o1
Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Van sDuzer will
present the successful rural play evil
lowdale" at Seaver's opera house for
the benefit of the Barton Baseball club.
Barton has always beenprtaial to en-.
tertalnments given by home talent and
when the local players are to have the
advantage of professional training, a
performance that will compare favor
ably with a professional one is conf
IDENTIFY looked forward to-. All of the
special scenery, costumes and effects,
which are so necessary for complete
production, are carried by the Van
Duzers and not one piece of scenery
OF the local opera house will be used
IN presenting the play. "WilIowdale"
is rural comedy along the lines of
1.-The Old Homestead 'and "Way Down
East although the plot is entirely
different from either. 1t is a story
of Down East so years ago and the
quaint costumes of that time with the
old fashioned crinolines, peg trousers
and old time stocks are worn by the
characters. The first act shows the
country store and post office in the lit
tie New Hampshire town of Willow
dale. The usual types that congre-
gate around the stove in the cross
road store. including the village "wise
one" the local sport and the inevit-
able town gossip are all shown in
spirit of good-natured satire that
keeps the audience in constant laugh
ter. The part of Joe Basset, the gen.
lal old postmaster and storekeeper,
will be played by Mr.. Van Duzer and
it is considered by many who have
seen him in this role to be one of his
best character creations. The second
act shows the sitting room of Bassett's
home with church sociable in full
swing. During this the village choir
do stunt, led by Lem Hackett, one
of the comedy parts of the play, (which
is said to be one of the funniest situa-
tions ever introduced in a play. Re-
hearsals are being held nightly under
the personal direction of Mrs. Van Du-.
zer and are going most satisfactorily.
She says 'The cast is an excellent
one." Seats are now on sale at
Pierce's drug store and the prices are
25 and 81 cents. Remember the pro
ceeds are for the benefit of the Barton
baseball club, an organization that ev-
eryone should be interested in and by
attending the performance you will
not only enjoy pleasant evening but
also be helping the ball team along.
