Nathan Hale Well Received

Nathan Hale, presented by the Sem
ior class of Peoples Academy at town
hall last Thursday and Friday evenings,
was a success from every standpoint
While it was more pretentious produc-
ton than has been attempted in the past
by graduating classes of this institution,
| the members of the cast were equal to
| the demands of the play and even In the
most thrilling climaxes those who had
the leading roles took their parts in a
manner that elected the most hearty
approval of their audience.
The stage settings were in colonial
style and the arrangement of the old
fashioned furniture and the general tone
of the surroundings denoted a careful
study by those in charge. The elaborate
costumes, rented for the occasion, also
added to the general effect and as
sisted the students materially in their
portrayal of the history.making events
and scenes which furnished the facts for
the thrilling story of Nathan Hale"
The expenses of the production were
large. but after paying all bills the class
had about $75, which will go towards
paying the expenses of the class at Com
mencement.
Much credit is due Prof Reynolds, who
put considerable time outside of his other
duties into the work of staging the
piece and drilling the cast
The title role was taken by Ra lph Ter
rill in an easy and finished manner, the
young man showing much ability and a
clear understanding of the part. His
acting at all times showed study and
much Credit is due him for the success of
the presentation.
Miss Eltha Robson made hit as Alice
Adams, being delightfully."- easy and nat,
ural in the part of Nathan's sweetheart
and showing good judgment in not over
doing difficult part. Her affectation of
the quaint manners of the colonial maid
en- was in keeping with her surroundings
and dress, and made her part stand out
strongly.
William Meacham, as Lieut.. Colonel
Knowlton. and Aaron Morrill,. Francis
Merritt, Charles Silloway, Harold Badg-
er and Bertrand Hubbell, as Continental
officers. lent military color in the second
act, the formers plea for volunteer to
act as spy and Hale's response, show
ing some clever acting. Kenneth Dodge
was especially good as Guy Fitzroy, the
villainous British Captain, and rival of
Nathan Hale. Allard browne as Gun
a British regular, Ralph |.
browne as Ebeneezer Lebanon, .Hale's
assistant, and Robert Ide as Tom Ad-
ans, Alice's brother, were all good, and
their full share to the success
of the play. Miss Lucille Hobson was a
dignifed Mrs. Knowlton, and Miss Thel-
ma Edmunds as her daughter, and Miss
Esther Greene as Charity Lewis, made
pleasing and realistic colonial maidens.
The scene, The Widows Tavern act three,
in which Miss Susan Delano acted and
looked exceedingly well. the part of Wild
ow Chichester, the barkeeper at the Red
Lion, called for good acting and was
we'll presented. Hale's pupils in the
first act were represented by Claren ce
Bates, Harold Gates and Hugh Parker.
Erie Morrill,, as Jasper, the colored serv-
ant at Col. Kno wlton's mansion, con-
tributed to the comedy and gave the
finishing touches to the realism of the !
colonial household

THE BANK ROBBERY

Last Thursday afternoon about
4 O'Clock as the bank officials
were checking up their days bus
neess, a man entered the First
National Bank of Granada and
drawing a gun on the cashier and
assistant demanded that he be
handed 81, 900 at once. Cashier
Wines at once complied with the
request, handing him two pack
ages Of bills and as he reached in
a drawer for more money the
man, who claims that he thought
Mr.. Wines was reaching for a
gun, snapped his own gun at
him, the weapon, fortunately
missing fire
The bankers were then ordered
to enter the vault and the robber
took his departure. AS soon as
the bank door had closed upon
him the two men secure
weapons and started in pursuit,
firing shot 70 alarm the citizens,
they collecting rapidly.
The robber was seen to enter
a coal house in town and marshal
Taylor entered same with drawn
gun and soon brought him out,
he being taken to Lamar that
evening by Sheriff Downing. He
gives his name as Ralph Cotter
and is a man of about % years of
age.
All the money he secured was
recovered, it being found secreted
in a nail keg.

some time after receiving the
news that the bank had been
robbed, it first being reported
that three men had committed
the deed and that they had
escaped. Posses were at once
formed to go in pursuit from this
point, Marshal House having
gathered a number of men eager
to have part in the hunt in a few
minutes.

CORRESPONDENCE

Editor Holly Chieftsin:
This seems to be an appropriate time to
express our gratitude to the people ei
Holly and the superintendent and teachers
of the High school for their kindness and
courtesy to the country boys and girls who
have attended the school the year just
closing.
Nothing can do more to hold the coun-
try town and ii, farmer neishbors TO.
gether than united educational interests.
Each successful and satisfied country pupil
in the High school is one more tic between n
them.
The contests between schools organized
by the Holly school is another tie and ii
kept up will be hslp TO both town and
country, and the country will no doubt
take an increasing interest in them.
We hope the system put in operation by
the Holly schools in the past two years
will be continued.
