and the audience was large and ap-
preciative. The all local talent was
of high order. Just Two Kids by
Miss Mary Wolston and Mr.. David
Owen merited the generous applause
it received. The Workhouse Ward"
an Irish playlet by Lady Gregory. was
delightfully."- rendered by Mrs. Oldham

Buffum. Mrs. Oldhams dramatic
work is we'll known to Squirrel audi

work by Miss Mary Wolston in her in
terpretations of MacDowells Wild
Rose" and the Water Lily" likewise
the "Priestess Danse' and her inter-
pretations of Dyorak's 'Humoresque"
and Heller's Tempest" were of a very
high order. In her costumes of crepe
de chine she was charming and her
grace of movement artistic and much
appreciated. Mr.. David Owen was at
his best in "A Lite of Everything"
and delighted his audience. Mr. Miles
r. Bracewell has been a favorite with
Squirrel audiences for many seasons;
his delightful rendering of the song
by Mr.. hurry, When Richelieu the
Red Rose Wore" brought forth encore
after encore. Mr.. Buffums recita-
ton of Casey at the Bat made hit
that resulted in applause: The pro-
gram closed with the short drama,
Poor Pillicoddy." Mr.. Frank A.
Owen in his Interpretation of the part
of Mr.. Pillicoddy can unquestionably
rival professionals. The support Civ
en- him by the Misses Kenyon, Hayes
and Wolston. and by Mr.. Westerfield
as Capt. o. Scuttle was first class in
every respect.
