ABDGENCE.
! The College play, ,""Jedediah Jud-
ikins," given at the opera house last
night pnder she auspices Of
jamestown College athletic associa-
tion, was witnessed by large audi
ence, every seat being taken. The
plsy was drama in four acts, pre-
,sentede by students of jamestown
College. 1t was very creditable
performance throughout, and there
we're many hearty laughs as result
OF the situations as they developed
fn9theS plot and as portrayed by mem
;bers of the cast. The play related
to the arrival of a Hoosier farmer in
the city, and the situations develop
ed rapidly, with numerous exciting
climaxes, all /, interspersed with
wholesome comedy. The leading
charactef in the play was that Of
Jedediah Judkins, J. p, taken by
Lewis Orlady. This part was exceed
ingly we'll done, and brought forth
many compliments. There have been
no amateur performances in which
the character ofA-aa atasaKi1aEa2e...55nsh' -
has been better given than that seen
last evening. Every member Of
the cast shoRgd 70 clear conception
of their parts. The tayasactsr of
Miss Bobbin, by Anne Buck, and that
of Sally Sands by Clara Weiermuller
were exeeedi.sly we'll rendered, Miss
Buck having appeared last yearrand
won encomiums for her easy stage
appearance. Mr.. Wojick as Regi-
naldt Windum, and Herbert Kroeze
as Geo, Premise, detective, left
littls to be desired, while Walter
Danuser as the, crook filled the part
to perfection. Doris Wood as Mrs.
Craincross, was graceful and easy in
her manner, as we'll as Jear Lenen-
tine, the daughter. Elsie Mikkelson
as Esther Goldfair. ward of John
Craincross, brought out all that was
acceptable in the part. Tony ober-
miller al policeman and Alfred Bar
& 1iBeer. were ereellAnt, Wills
jay :CarpenteH, Elmene, Miller and.
Dallas Walters kept up the high ag-
erage of the play to the end.
:. The entire play has been commit
ted and rehearsed by the students
within three weeks, under the direc-
tion of Miss Hazel Kepford, without
neglecting other school work, and it
was the most portentious amateur
play that has yet been attempted by
the college students. The stage set
tlngs were very appropriate and at
tractive, the costumes coming from
Minneapolis. 1t is expected that the
annual college play will be present.
ed some time next March.
