HOME TALENT PLEASES CROWD
The last entertainment of the
course was given Friday evening. In
spite of the terrible condition of the
roads the hall was well filed The
entertainment was opened by songs
by Miss Hazel Miles and Rev G. Lee
on Wells. The play, "Our Folks"
! was well rendered. The theme of the
playa young wife with two chill
dren and but little money, whose
husband went to seek his fortune and
has not been heard from for years, is
Our Folks" to the whole town, who
contrive to help her when she needs a
helping hand. The wife, hoping when
all others think her husband dead,
was ably presented by Mrs. G.. l..
Wells. Her children, Becky and Ted
dy, were given true to life by Clyde
Bean and Florence Miles. The Cap
tain, whose bark is very much worse
than his bite, and who does many kind
! deeds in secret but is .estranged from
his only son, was represented by Ed
win Alexander, and his wife, who gets
her own way by making him believe
she does not want it, was ably taken
by Miss Hattie McDuffee. The son,
who has succeeded in getting his coll
himself in spite Of his father, was
represented well by Paul Parker
Paul King makes the most irishy of
red-headed Irishmen and Miss Alice
Dexter the neatest of servant girls.
Mrs. r. +. Davis took the part of
Aunt Hulda, who has lumbago, rheu-
matism, neuralgia and many other
ailments, until her niece is stricken
down, when she comes to the front
loyalty and efficiently. Hiram, the
millowner, who knew and loved her in
her younger days, is still of the same
mind. K. Z. Davis played this part,
and played it to the huge delight of
the audience. G. K. Drew played the
long-lost husband, who of coure re-
turns with pockets full Of gold. The
Captain through the efforts of Becky
is reconciled to his son. The old
lovers and the young lovers are united
and all live happily ever afterwards.
The make-ups were superintendent by
H. ]. Dietsche of Sheffield and were
remarkably true to life. Much cred
it is due Mrs. Davis for her untiring
efforts to make the performance a
success.
