One of the best home talent produc-
lions seen in Raymond for good
many years was staged at the local
Theatre on Thursday evening, under
the auspices of the local Red Cross
society. The dramatic club has been
under the instruction Of Miss O'Brien,
and she surely deserves rich credit
as coach, as every one Of the players
was good, and it is hard to pick out
the stars Cora Spaeth and Eta
Knott, have both been seen on our
stage a number of times, and they
certainly came up to all expectations
in their respective roles of Aunt Bek-
ky and "Mr. Bob" Ruby Peterson gave
most of us surprise. She has not
resided very long amongst us, and few
dreamed that clever actress was be-
ing harbored in our midst. However
such was the case, as she ably demon
strated to all on Thursday evening.
Pearl Hintz took the juvenile lead,
which could not have fallen to better
character. She was also new char
acter on our stage, and carried it off
like veteran, being perfectly natural
at all times. AS to the boys. Well
John Hanna Game down" and he sure
ly brought the house down with HIN.
The people came from far and near to
see Johns performance, and due to tho
strong advertising, expected lot Of
him. He was the same cool headed
John we are used to seeing clerlxing
in his father store on the corner of
Squire and Cofield Avenues, but he
surely is some performer besides, and
nobody was disappointed, but all got
what they paid for. Clarence Miller
has surely improved his time since
male lead, and got away just as every
body expected he would. He got into
perplexing situation on account of
::Mr. Bob" but he took to the part and
played it through from start to finish
without hook, and nobody would
have believed that this was his first
appearance. Kishpaugh took the part
of Jenkins and outside Of the little
dance with Patty did justice to the Oc-
casion. We suppose of course he is
not used to tripping the light fantastic.
but presume that once he has had the
| foretaste it will be hard to keep him
away from the girls. Without joking
he surely makes a good butler. Be-
tween the acts music was interspers-
ed. Geo. Haase played a beautiful
baritone solo. Mr.. and Mrs. Parnell
came out with Mr.. Odell and Mr.. Par
nell sang "The old flag never touched
the Ground" which proved to be a
rousing patriotic song, and was heavi-
ly encored. A bunch of small boys
sang "Over There" Mr.. Odell and
Miss Noren each made Liberty Loan
talk, which was received with enthusi-
asm by the audience. The sum Of
$4,000 was cleared off the perform
ance,so that the play was success all
around
On the night following the produc-
ton Of Mr.. Bob in Raymond the drama
tic club accompanied by the Band
journeyed to Kerkhoven and returned
