but replete with rural hHmor and
human interest, lis Harry James
Smiths new play. 1.-THE Little Teach

last night. ..
From beginning to end It affords
Mary Ryan continuous opportunity
for her splendid talents in the role
of Emily West, the little teacher. who
brought new life to Goshen Hollow.
VT, despite the opposition of narrow
minded village gossips.
1t opens with Emily, inexperienced
as a teacher, winning the hearts of
her country pupils with kindness: Be-
cause she came from New York. how
ever, she is looked upon with sus-
picion by the grown-ups. and the fact
that her father had lived there thirty
critical villagers that New York had
not spoiled the daughter. The busy
bodies were confirmed in their sus-
picions when Emily made the friend-
ship of rough, open-hearted ium-
berjack, and to save their village
a shocking affair they drove the
lum berjack out Of town.
Miss Ryan takes advantage OF ex-
cellent opportunities to bring out her
personality. and especially won the
admiration Of her audience in the
third act, when she seemed to put All
her ability into an intensely DRAMATIC
appeal to misguided village school
board.
The play is given a patriotic end,
ing by the return Of the big, faithfui
lumberjack in the khaki Of the Amer
lean Army. Curtis Cooksey,. as the
lumberjack, and Louis Alberni, as his
pal, are exceptionally good. One OF
the features Of the play is the acting
of. Marie Bianchi and Thomas Gillen,
kidnapped children. The play is pre-
sented by Conan & Harris.
