LAMOILLE AMATEUR
entertainment
(COM M UNICATED)

1t is the general opinion of sll
who saw the performance given by
the Lamoille Progressive Dramatic
Club, Friday evening, March 9th,
that it was the best amateur effort
they had ever had the pleasure Of
attending. The play itself, Brook
dale Farm" is a rural drama in
four acts, each one being equally
interesting and exciting, holding
one in close attention to the very
end.
The part Of qnire Brooks was
played by Mr.. Trenewan. His
whole makeup and every action,
was SO true to the part. that many

Roy Harte. a young farmer who
loves the Squirrels daughter, proved
to be Murray Butler. His stage
presence was good and he made
love in a most convincing way.

cher was the "villianious william"
AS the sympathy of the public lev
err lies with the william, Mr.. That
cher deserves double praise for
enacting so difficult a part.
Ephriam Green, a farm hand,
was Jas. BalliDger. His smiling
countenance served him well in this
character, and his acting was
sp. endidly natural at all times, and
worthy of especial mention.
Samuel Hunter, S1erif Of Spring
County, was played by Geo. Brandt.

granted, and an order will be en-

In the closing paragraph of his
decision, Judge Taber says:
THE question of the constitu-
tionality of the Wells high school
act has not been presented to the
court, and therefore has not been
considered on this motion. Neither
was any evidence offered to show
that the said act was passed 10y

court to say whether the act is
wise or just. Those who caused
the act to be passed are responsible

Unless further steps are taken,
