TOWN SHEND.
Big Crowd Attends Play.

One of the largest audiences ever
gathered in one building in town
packed the town hall Monday evening
to see the presentation of the drama,
The BOYS of 1776. Every available
seat was taken, also every inch of
standing room, and many were turned
away. The play, given under the
auspices of the Village Improvement
society, the T. G. R. s, was the story
of a Quaker home in Pennsylvania on
July 4, 1916, and the stage settings
and costumes were in keeping with that
period.
The cast was unusually strong, every
part being finely taken. Dr.. F. l.. Os-
good as Ginger, the colored servant
and G. d. Boyden as Pretzel, Dutch
settler, kept the house in an uproar. In
the more serious parts the enthusiasm
of the audience was thoroughly
aroused.
At the close of the second act the
signing of the Declaration of Juris
prudence was announced by Ginger
and the scene closed with firing OF
guns, cheers and reflection of light from
honfires while the sound of Yankee
Doodle came from a distant fife anC
drum.
On the fall of the curtain the sta,
| Spangled Banner was played by tn,
members of Leitsinger s orchestra wht
had furnished music throughout tn,
leyening. A dance followed until
o clock, nearly 90 tickets being sold 70
! dancing. Music was furnished by Du
gan, Morse and Wales. w. NJ
Sparks was floor manager. lee crear
was on sale.
The net receipts from the sale of re
served seats and tickets at the doc
were about $145 and about $40 wa
received from dance tickets.
