Not that something good was
not expected, but that it exceed
ed all expectations goes without
saying. The play was given en-
tirely by home talent and while
all did their parts in a commend
able manner, especial mention is
due Fred Dennis, who played
the leading part, as Walter
Hawley" and Miss Magdalene
Humphrey. who played the lead
ing lady as ELLEN Ferguson
Hawley." Others whose efforts
attracted more than ordinary at
tention were Jack Rollins as
Lionel Fairfield" the best
poetic lunatic in captivity, Mike
Kelly, as Johanna Mulrooney,"
in which he pr obably too pro-
misciously displayed his green
stockings, and the policeman.

Hardy. Others who particlpat-
ed in the play were Ora Kennedy
as Tom Ferguson, whose work
was considered very good; Miss
Fanny Howell, as "Blinda
Hawley Ferguson" Fritz Herod
as Collie Marshall. Miss
Madge Tate as "Suzette Haw-
ley" and Miss Hortense Tate as
"Annett Hawley."
