 Second Presentation a Success.
 An audience of about seventy five which is considered very large in East Berlin-greeted the actors of the Kensington Dramatic club last evening at, Athletic hall and laughed, yea, fairly howled, at the comedy in "The Doctor" which was presented there under the auspices of the East Berlin Village Improvement society. Although it would not be quite right to say that they are still counting the money over there, it is safe to con lecture that a goodly sum was realized.
 Every member of the cast was at his or her best. The cast was as fol- lows:
 Dillington Hopper, a New York
 stockbroker, who wants some fun
 and gets it. ...... Alfred E> Moore Thomas Picton, his friend who wants peace and doesn't get it..
 ................G George $. Griffith Crumley Chuggs, nice old man,
 wno wants the widow-and gets her. er............ Raymond Watkins Napoleon, E. Plunkcr, an inventor,
 who wants the earth--and keeps 
 on wanting. .....C. Oscar Edgerly Mrs. Fanny Mayfair, a flashing young widow, who wants a lark and has it. =. Lena D. Johnson Mrs. Anastasa Billowhy, another widow, who wants to elope-and is disappointed. Minnie l.. Gibbs Fife Picton, Toms wife, who wants revenge - and then there's trouble. ..... Ellen M. Almquist Time-Midsummer PIace--Acts I 1 and III, Toms country homo. Act II, A woodland glade.
 Between the acts John Thompson gave a number of pleasing vocal se- 1 lectionS
 slapped His Face. A woman who was insulted by a l drunken man on Pennington road l last night gave him a resounding slap 1 in the face. The woman had just alighted from q trolley car when the intoxicated one approached her and l held out d whiskey bottle towards 1 her.
