of the members of the cast was of a sor,
that would have done credit to much
more experienced actors. The title OF
the play, The Missing Miss Miller re.
ferred to Miss Mabel Townsend in the
part of Gwendolyn Dashforth. who acted
her part in a manner that was greatly
appreciated. The little play centers
around the usual and unusual events tina,

in the part of Hymen Trouble. His typ

slang than any other stenographer on
record. In the second act the scenery is
of new type in local church plays, be-
ing original work by Ralph Brown and is
very nicely executed.
Mr.. Brown is in the cast as Colonel Pc

admission and the play is a gem of its
kind.
