The three act drama, 1.-The Turn
of the Tide" or Wrecked in Port"
which was presented by Hose Com
pany No. 1, on Thursday evening was
great success, each one taking his
part well. Fred Hill, who was
Jonas Aldrich, fisherman showed
that he had some of the trials that
fishermen at sea have to endure, and
Walter Wheeler as Capt. Hugh ST.
MOnis, proved to be a captain of great
value both to his crew and friends,
and showed himself an expert in the
duel which occurred between himself
and the villain Archie Goliath. Mr..
Goliath certainly did himself credit
in his part and seemed to accomplish
a great deal in all his act. Walter
Hall, who was Pepper" the niger
kept the audience in a roar most of
the time and even if he was only
niger he had many troubles and
hard time to keep the crew supplied
with clans and fish. Aunt Rebecca,
Mrs. Dan Gallagher, was busy look
ing after her husband and the house
hold duties, also "Frisky," who was
Mrs. A. B. Goliath, who had to keep
the house in order for all the COM
pany, both acting their parts well.
Bertha Salman, who took the part
of Susie Aldrich and who was the
only person saved in the wreck
and the heroine of the play
certainly did her part in
pleasing manner, also Mrs. Fred
Hill, who took the part of Lillian
Lacy. Other parts which deserved
special mention and which were
takeA by Willis D. Jay, who was Col.
Ellsdprth, Bowie Knife Jack, pirate
ClifnA Campbell, Sling Shot RUDE,
pirse kRaymond Brook. The play
was& strong one and all the parts
wer NRard, but it showed that the
you,gH people have talent in that
line. The evening proceeds were
over $4,000.
