house Tuesday night by the senior
class, was greeted by large at
tendance which is the universal
rule in Grangeville when home
talent play is ON the boards, for
the people here take the deepest
OF interest in the work of their
home dramatic artists, and they
have almost invariably been well
rewarded for the confidence re-

Tuesday nights entertainment
was no exception to the rule,
the east being we'll made and the
young people all sustaining their
parts in manner that met with
generous applause and unstinted
praise.

size the tendencies of the present
day colleges to exalt football skill
above learning, and was well set
forth by the youngsters who
sumed the various roles in the
play.
Charlie Simmons in the role Of
the absent minded Prof. Alden,
struck the proper gait; while Orin
Rlebold as the Buster Brown" "
manager Of the football team,
VIM. Williams as Livingstone, the
head coach, and Roger Hill as
Captain Bud Kennedy did
their stunts in very realistic style,
with something doing all the time
Henry Munro, as Robert Ste
wart, who could not savvy ply
sizes, but was wonder as a full
back player and a lover, had
many trying experiences, in which
he was ably assisted by Irene Par
sons, in the character of Hope
Alden, the professor pretty
daughter, which character she
impersonated in excellent style.
Grace PEBBLES, as Violet, was the
typical servant girl and Pittman
Atwood as Kink Bannister, Ar
thur Horning as Reddy Simms,
and Sam Kennedy as Dutch Hen
bricks, took a strong hand as
football boosters and 1nsurrectos
against all obstructing college
rules. In the impersonation of
Aunt Matilda" Dwiggins and
Aunt Mary Scott, the two old
spinster relatives Of the Aldens,
Mamie Long and Florence Jump
captivated the audience, their ap-
pearance invariably eliciting vo-
ciferous applause. -
The reading, THAT Old Sweet
Heart of Nine" by Laura Ian
nlngham, with music accompani-
ment by Ruth Branscombe, and
tableau by Lydia Parker and Pitt
man Atwood, was one of the very
highly appreciated features of tn,
entertainment, Miss Lanninghan
well sustaining her reputation as
a reader.
The Sailor Drill" given be
tween the second and third acts
by sixteen high school girls
dressed eight and eight in white
and blue costumes, and wearing
MILDLY caps and carrying a pail
of oars each, was one of the
most captivating stunts evel
pulled off in our city. The girls
went through all kinds of drill
evolutions and graceful maneuv
ers to the accompaniment OF
music played by Miss Villa Viii
kinson, the pianist of the even
ing the time changing to the var
lance of the evolutions. The
drill occupied something like thir
ty minutes and was not only
roundly applauded at various
points, but was given an encore
at the close. Mrs. A. M. Baker
the drillmaster, is entitled to un
stinted praise for her work. TIL
