daughter the highly educated Ida
May, whose parts were taken by Mrs.
John Scribner and Miss Winifred

roles But for audacity, the amiable
Tad" impersonated by Donald
Leach, and tired "Posie' who was
Miss Laura Baker, were in class by
themselves and extremely amusing.
Mrs. Harley Thompson, as the dress
maker. was as prasing and loquacious
as one seldom finds, and caused

very trying scenes to adjust, which
he did in most excellent manner

master is deserving of high praise
for the able manner in which he act
