The notable event in Thorofare DUR
ing the past week has been the pre-
sentation of the drama, .The Fresh
man., in the town hall, for the benefit
of the Fire Company, on last Satur-
day night. There was no high trag-
edy, and no weeping places in it,
The story hinged upon the hazing of
Freshman who is saved from an un-
pleasant position by the sweet SYM
pathy of the Professors daughter.
This part was well taken by Miss
Laura Budd. Mr.. Elmer Haines as
the Freshman" was excellent, and
Mr.. Carl S. Davis as the Professor
was fine. His makeup could not
have been better and he sustained the
part throughout admirably. Miss
Margaretta Low as Judith; Mrs. Geor-
gle Chew as Miss Porter, and Mrs.
Matte f. Davis as Violet all filled
their parts we'll The Sophomores
made much of the fun, particularly
the one who knew great deal be-
cause he had been Sophomore twice.
At a tea-drinking solo When
Dream of YOU was sung by Albert
Henshall and comic song, The rag
time violin" by Nelson Skill was
very much enjoyed. Altogether the
| little play was success, and will be
repeated on Saturday night of this
week. For those who were obliged
| to wait for late train there was
music, and dancing, and games after
the play was ended Some improve
ments will be made and even larger
audience is expected for the coming
| Saturday night. The scenery had
been painted by Mr.. j. Walter De-
Hart and is considered unusually fine.
