same scene and says the same things
namely. business has been SO bad and
he's not going away; we've got gar
den and right almost imagine our
selves in the country: what's good
enough for him is good enough for US.
Then, having let off steam, as my
brother Jim calls it, while we sit
around patiently. he quiets down, and
we make plans as to where we shall
go.
1t was arranged on this occasion that
we should forsake Lakewood and the
Adirondacks and our other favorite
haunts and go 10 Boulogne, In France.
The fact was that Mr.. Kay had met

Farce to Be Feature of Entertainment
at Masonic Banquet-t4istory Pre-
sented Library by D. A. r. Chapter.

The committee in charge Of the Ma
sonic banquet arrangements has de-
c1ded for the entertainment 7rt 10
produce the farce, The Curtain Lifted,
or, The order of the Sons of Mars.
The characters are all to be taken by
members of the lodge. The borough
has some talented amateurs, as was
proven by the Masonic Ministries OF
two years ago. and much farther back.
Twenty EIGHT years ago Whiting hall
was opened with the play Ireland as
1t Is. The house was crowded for
two nights. Those were the days
when John Haney and P. B. Driscoll
had the managing of the Jewett CIV
dramatic alliance. Such plays as The
Octoroon, Rip Van Wrinkle, Michael
Earl, the Maniac Lover, and The
Charcoal Burner were presented.
About this time e. F. Burleson with
local players put on Our American
Cousin and Rosedale. For three sue
cessive nights Writings hall was in
adequate to accommodate the crowds
that came to witness the latter play,
and there was the request that it be
repeated.
Later, the Father Mathew Total Alb
stinence society had a company that
presented with fine success, among
other temperance plays, The Drunk
ards Home. About 22 years ago there
was the JeWett City variety company
which for ten years was under the
management of P. B. Driscoll. Their
minstrel shows were of the best.
Many remember the night the late
John O'Neil sang The Spell Is Past.
About ten years ago, when Frank
Rice. now of Philadelphia, was the
leader of the band. Nevada was pre-
scented with great success with all To-
cal amateurs under the able manage
ment of T. G. Haney. now Of Mont
vile, who took a prominent part.
