PARTICLE COMPANY OPENS.
Weeks Engagement at the Central
Next Monday NIGHT.

The Daily Citizen, of Auburn, y. Y,
has the following to say about the
work of the Particle Company which
opens its engagement here next Mon
day evening:
The Particle Stock Company en-
tered upon a weeks engagement at
the New Jefferson last night and
thoroughly pleased a big house with
the College Girl, Although the COM
pany had played the piece here twice
before, it never seemed to meet with
such favor as at last nights per
Torrance. The cast was an excel
lent one throughout. Even the small
er parts were in capable hands and
ii was quite noticeable that there
was no doubling of characters by
the company. The company is head
ed this season by Harry Leland and
as Bill Bullock, the football coach
his work was just as pleasing as
when he first appeared here in the
same part several seasons ago. He
works quietly and naturally and
makes his points easily, Miss Parks
appeared as the Girl" and never
have We seen a better. She is a di-
minutiye person who shows lots Of
talent and her work in the other
plays to be put on during the engage
ment will be watched with interest
Mr.. Hoyt appeared as Dana Worth
ington and made the character far
more pleasing than it would have
been in other hands. Mr.. Bates
made the same dignifed Pro essor as
in the past Mr.. Aldrich made the
part of Jed Whitaker stand out as
it never did before. Frank McDon-
aid played Bruce Hobson and his
character to be despised, which was
what the arthur intended, therefore
his work was good. Miss Sheldon
appeared as Tutie Whitaker and al
though the character can be easily
overplayed and burlesqued, Miss
Sheldon avoided all the pitfalls and
made Tutie real country girl and
the part never made such hit as it
did last night. Miss Gerrish as Mu-
riel Hadliegh was very good, as was
Miss Taylor as Agatha and both
wore some pretty gowns. Cy. Palmer
got lot out OF the small part OF
Guy and Herbert Busch made a good
Weary Willie. Every act Of the play
was set with the companys own
scenery and the sets were all in good
taste and very attractive. The cleo
trical effects were very noticeable
and those of the last act added not
little to the effectiveness Of the bel
fry scene.
Ladies' tickets issued for Monday
evening.
