Palatka Dramatic Club.

Another progressive movement is
on foot in this city, looking toward
the organization of a Dramatic Club.
Messrs. George Everson and Thomas
Shinn, the promoters of the scheme,
are having the support of several
prominent persons in Palatka who see
fine possibilities that may be brought
out in the line of plays, theatricals,
ETC., and who feel that there is much
dramatic ability that might be devel-
oped under the proper impetus. The
officers who have been chosen are:
President, George Everson; vice presi-
dent, Miss Winnifred Haughton; Sec
rotary and treasurer, Thomas B.
Shinn; Business manager, Charles An
derson; director, Mrs. Ed. L. Mann;
committee on constitution, Miss Rena
Brown, chairman, with Miss Belle
Welch and Wallace Griggs. At the
business meeting held at the home of
Miss Rena Brown, Wednesday even
ing, plans were made to give variety
of entertainments, the proceeds from
which will be apportioned among the
needy institutions of the city. The
work of the club will no doubt bring
out much histrionic talent Rehear-
sails and place of meeting were dis
cussed and it was decided to present
a play about the latter part of June.
