TRIUMPH
SPLENDIDLY GIVEN
Dramatic Society
Render Play for Benefit
of Red Cross

Rebeccas Triumph, very clever
dialogue in three acts, was presented
to the people of Plent tywood and
Sheridan county by a clever cast
from the Rlentywood DR. amatic club
at the Orpheum theatre last We'd
nesday evkning, for the benefit OF the
Red Cross.
The theatre had a capacity audi
ence, over four hundred adults being
presfnt, and it is reported that about
$3.50 was netted after all expenses
were paid 4
MUCH HISTRIONIC
ABILITY SHOWN
The large audience demonstrated
their appreciation of the artistic in
depreciation of the characters as
sumed by the different nlembers OF
the cast by frequent and prolonged
applause.
While all of the actin g was far
superior to the average amateur
dramatic, there were two characters
who demonstrated that they were
verging on the professional; viz,
Mrs. George Tilton and Mrs. Gar
ner, the former interpreting the part
of a romantic spinster IN love and
the latter portraying the heavy part,
Meg, the Vagrant. Th e work OF
these two ladies was as good as is
usually seen on the metropolitan
stage, and was certainly appreciated.
WELL TRAINED
AND GOOD MUSIC
The fifteen memhars Of the ORA
matte club who presented the play
were trained by a professional, Mrs
Ed Gray, nee Miss Anna Hughes, OF
the Maude Henderson company
whose ability was ,provrn by the
success of the play.
There were musical numbers ane
drllis that were cleverly rendered
and presented. Music was Furnished
| by the Orpheum orchestra.
The spectators got their money;
worth and then some.
