Like the First, Was a Great Success
Fine Acting by the HInsoale Players.
Fine weather and good sleighng COM
bined to make the last evening of the
Universalist fair and Bazaar of Nations
great success. Crowds of people from
surrounding towns came to join in the
festivities. The men were kept busy
serving their excellent supper of fish
chowder, oysters and salads, about 300
being served during the evening". The
farce Box and Cox" was presented in
a manner highly credtable II the young
anna teur performers. The parts were
taken by Clifford Stearns, Louis Stearns
and Winnie Tilden. The various booths
nearly cleared out their large stock of
goods. The picture of a West Virginia
maiden drawn from life and do
mated to the fair by our former towns
man, William j. Leonard, now a pro-
fessor of art in the University of West
Virginia, was sold at auction for s..
Notable among the goods for sale were
some needle and thread doilles of excep-
tionally fine work on the fancy booth,
which We're made in Nazareth. Dancing
began at 10 o'clock with large crowd
upon the floor and Letsinger's orchestra
for music.
The farce comedy "Our Wives" given
by the Hinsdale Players on Thursday
nearly 500 people. 1t was filled with
surprises, ridiculous and mrthprovokng
situations and kept the audience con-
vulsed with laughter throughout the per-
Torrance. Every part was so well acted
that 1t would be impossible to single
out any as best. Harold c. Holland and
Paul II. Mann had perhaps the most diff
ficut roles and performed them in a
manner which would have done credit to
professionals. John E. Mann as a COM
poser and James G. Snow as a chronic
invalid were at their best while Miss
Grace Roberts and Miss Madelon Temple
did some excellent work.
The chicken-pie supper on the same
evening was patronized by over 300 peo-
pie. Praises for the success of the fair
are heard on all sides, people generally
feeling that none has surpassed this
one in novelty and interest. 1t is not
known as yet what the net proceeds will
be, but it Is certain that large sum
will be added to the treasury.
