Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1917-02-15

ling" given BY the Choral Club In the
Town Hall Friday night Of last week,
was in the Judgment Of the best critics,
= pronounced artistic success. Thepro.
duction Of this dlfiicult and classical
play seemed hazardous to some, in
view OF the wintry season, the limited
time, the inadequate stage accommo-
dations, and the large cast required,
~ has been played with q cast Of 1907
but the Club knewits own resources
and had confidence In the public who
will always como to a good play when
well acted. The Choral Club was not
disappointed, neither was the public:
and the first appearance Of Guy
Manneringp before st. Mary coun-
ty audience made a pleasant and last
ing impression.
There we're nine changes OF scene
two In the first act, four In the second
and three In the third, which were
made with no great delay as any one
will admit who knows the limitations
OF The local stage.
