asks her if she is willing to change her name to Rudd. Tn few minutes | Aunt Emiline and Colonel Byrd meet in the room. The latter learns, in an interview which follows, that he was wrong in his belief that Colonel Rudd had married the girl whom they both had sought and that the person in question was none other than Aunt Emiline herself. Both appear to have been made quite happy by the con- versation. .a.-.
 Marjorie is recognized by her father when she responds to his ring for a maid, and hurried explana- tion on her part ensues. More ex- plantations are forthcoming from Bob, and Colonel Rudd can scarcely be- lieve his eyes and ears. He recounts the fact that he had asked Marjorie to change her name to Rudd, and sug- gests that this can still be accom- plished by her marrying his son. Be- fore those in the room have recOv-
 cred from. the first surprise, they are overwhelmed when Ned and Julia make their appearance and announce their marriage. Julia's mother is shocked at first, but is soon consoled and it is known that she and Colonel Byrd are to be made man and wife. The curtain falls and concludes the scene with all satisfied and everyone happy.
 Raymond Watkins acted the role of Colonel Rudd in a clever manner, ex- hibiting that rising temper which characterizes the typical southern plantation owner. As Colonel Byrd, Joseph Wilson acted splendidly, bring ing out the bluster and pompous- ness necessary to the part. A. E. Moore proved popular as Bob Rudd, as did Miss Georgia Gibbs, who was irresistible as Marjorie Byrd Miss
 Minnie l.. Gibbs did credit to the part
 of Mrs. J. John Carroll, and Miss Amy
 E. Dudley displayed considerable abil-
 ity in the part of Julia Carroll. The
 audience was afforded no end of
 merriment by the lapses in the de- ceitful memory of Ned Graydon George S.. Griffith). MT. Griffith was also clever as James Baskom, Colonel
 Rudd's lawyer. One more thespian of no mean ability is Roy Tryon. He acted the difficult role of the Chinese cook in a manner that kept the audi i ence, in constant uproar of laugh
 ter while he was on the stage. 1 Donates Books to Library. Madame Ellen Olivier, a teacher

 Unprecedented success attended the first presentation of the three-act comedy. .'The Coloners Maid' which was thoroughly enjoyed last evening by an audience which thronged For esters' hall The stage settings were very good and the acting of the anna teur thespians most realistic. The cast was perfect and it was impOs- sible to decide upon any one char acter which was portrayed better than any other.
 The play is light comedy, bubbllng over with amusing situations, which center around the love of a young man for a girl, whose father is an old enemy of the boys batter and the masquer- ading of the girl as maid in the household of the boys father, in her attempt to win him over to her cause. The cast follows:
 Colonel Robert Rudd, a widower of North Carolina, Raymond Watkins. .(Mortally antagonistic)
 Colonel Richard Byrd a widower of South Carolina, Joseph Wilson.
 Marjorie Byrd, Georgia C.. Gibbs.
 Bob Rudd, A. E. Moore. (Not so antagonistic as their respective fathers.)
 Mrs. J. John Carroll, widow, and Colonel Rudd's sister in-law, Minnie I.. Gibbs.
 Julia Carroll, her daughter Amy E.. Dudley.
 Ned Graydon, a young gentleman of exceedingly faulty memory, George $. Griffith.
 MT. James Baskom, Colonel Rudd' s lawyer, George S. Griffith.
 Ching-Ah-Ling the Chinese cook, a bit impertinent, Roy E. Trycn. Story of the Play.
 In ''The Coloners Maid the cur tain goes up on Colonel Rudd's bach eIor establishment, with Ching-ah-lirg g on the stage preparing for breakfast. Shortly, the colonel makes his ap- pearance and, upon perceiving that breakfast is not yet ready, proceeds to scold Ching on the matter. The latter explains, however, that there Is no maid and that he cannot do the work. This bit of impertinence leads to the Chinaman's discharge, but be- fore he has time to cross the thresholf. he is recalled and hired again. Tl,e fact that the colonel's sister-in law and her daughter are expected to ar rive that very day for visit, is re- sponsible for his sudden declaration sthat maid must be obtained atsonce. Meantime. Bob Rudd saunters into the room. The colonel seizes the oppor- 1anity to speak to him on the subject
