WETRSDALE

Weirsdale, Jan. S-"The Masonic
Ring" a farce IN three acts. which
was given by the young people Of
Weirsdale and South Lake Weir on
Monday night, Dec. %, for the benefit
of the WeirsdaIe school, was a great
success. L was witnessed BY large
and appreciative audience which was
most liberal in giving applause. and
great credit is due the young people
who took part IN the play. The cast
was as follows:
ROderick York, q jealous husband,
Mr.. Carl Smith.
Mrs. Roderick York, a recent college
graduate and bride Of three weeks,
Miss Florence SchnitzIer-
Bartholomew Farebrother, detec-
tive. Milton AIbertson.
Fred Hall, Mr.. Gano.
Ethel VIM, Frances Hale.
Madame York, Minnie Albertson.
Peace York, Ruth Dickerson.
Miss Delaney Jones, Winnie Al
bertson.
Tildie Mccormick, Louis Smith.
/ Miss Florence Schnitzler. who play
/ ed the role of a charming college
bride, Immediately made decided hit
with her audience by her vivacious
manner and her original way Of
/ handling her part. She showed much
/ ability as a clever little actress. I'M
/ doubtedly due to the amateur theat-
ricaI training she has recently had at
/ Stetson University
/ Miss Schnitzler's leading support
! was Mr.. Carl Smith, who played the
part Of Roderick York, the jealous
husband, in a most admirable man
ner. His role was a difficult one. and
the clever way in which he acted it,.
won frequent applause from the au-
dience.
Miss Frances Hale, as Ethel Winn, a
college chum Of 1lrs. Roderick York.
was very attractive and she assumed
her role with much life and a natural
manner of acting which is not often
Iseen in amateurs.
The character of Miss Delaney
Jones taken by Miss Winnie Albert
son was done exceptionally well, Miss
Albertson taking the difficult part of
the deaf old aunt. Her conscientious
acting and her whole Interpretation
of the character was worthy of much
praise.
Miss Louise Smith as Tildie, the
mischievous child, was decidedly clev-
Ter. She was most original in por-
( ,
Ia great amount of her own natural
humor was displayed.
Mr. Gano as Fred Hall played his
role in an excellent manner and Mr.
!Albertson as Bartholomew Fare
brother, detective, was quite equal to
Interpreting this character quite as il
should be.
The part of Peace York, the stern
: elderly sister of Mrs York. was taken
by Miss Ruth Dickerson, and her i'm
personation of this character was ex-
cellent.
The role of Madame York, which was
l to have been played by Miss Minnie
Albertson, was taken by Miss Hale
, owing to the illness of Miss Albert
= son.
: Miss schnitzler, who was leading
: lady, stage manager and director Of
: the orchestra, had a very busy eve.
! ming but it is quite needless to say
2 that Miss Florence was entirely equa
/ to the occasion.
I Besides making a big hit the pla!
was a great financial success, nearl!
/, forty dollars being taken in which
: will be used for supplying the Weirs
4 dale school with a library.
