Gettysburg"

The presentation of the Civil War
drama, Gettysburg, last evening by
the Senior class of the State College
was received with enthusiasm by the
boys of 81 1t was the kind of a
play with plenty of action and noise
which would best suit the veterans
The work of the cast was very COM
mendable, the costumes were good
the scenery new and the arrange
ments for the old soldiers especially
good. The story of the play hinges
on the dismissal of Tom Markham
from gun factory by a jealous fore
man. Fairfax, the subsequent diff
culties of the war and the final tri-
umph of Mark ham as a colonel in
the Union army over Fairfax in the
Confederate army. Special reels Of
pictures were run between acts. The
regular performance of the Senior
play will take place next Tuesday
evening, the usual prices OF admission
being charged.
