Uncle Hin Boston"

Uncle Hi in Boston, presented
Thursday and Friday nights, April 20
and 80, by Gilbert & Gilbert, under the
auspices of the Village Improvement
society, proved a wonderful theatrical
success for amateur talent.
The play was a musical drama, with
many song hits and laugh provoking
situations Miss Olive Barter carried
the main song-comedy part and was well
applauded for her efforts. The Misses
Inez LaVick, Clara Wisell, Letha
Hayward, Messrs. Webster Barter,
John Reynolds and Milton Huntey were
favori0es among the soloists, Mr.. Barter
in "Chic, Chic, Chicken" meeting with
several rounds of applause. My
Egyptian Mummy" with Miss Isabel
Calhoun as Mile Turkish Trophy and
Mr.. James Calhoun as Rameses II, was
an interesting number. Mary Fletcher
as "The Opal and Roy Barter as Pat
McGuirk," responded again and again
to the applause which greeted their
song and dance hit.
"Ghost of the Violin. 81 Want to be
Somebody's Baby Cir" "Mello Cello
Melody" and ''Hush, There Comes the
Dream Man, A." the latter with Mr. Stone
as the "Man in the Moon" singing
from the balcony, were all well re
ceived, as was the song and dance hit
of Miss Murlel Vittum and Elizabeth
Mcmahon. Miss Gilbert also favored
the audience with a solo, Twilight,
accompanied by Mrs. }. +. Bold, which
was well received.
The principal parts were well carried
by Mr.. Balm as "Hiram," Mr.. Gregory
as deacon Culpepper Mr.. Huntley
as comedian, Miss Catherine Calhoun
and Mr.. Buttoiph as "Mr and Mrs.
John Quackgrass, Miss Hayward as
"Millicent Quackgrass, Mr.. Aines as
"Prof. Won Strathenburg, and Mr..
Philip Calhoun as butler. The company
was assisted by siX-piece orchestra
and employed special electrical effects.
