The event was the best of the kind
that has taken place in Essex Junction

PRESERVATION. Mr. Burnell also painted |
the back drop, which was a big ad-
dition to the scenic effects. The show !
opened with the customary circle, with |
four end men and chorus of male |
voices that blended tremendously. ,
There was a host of local jokes, songs
with local color and solos by the best
musical talent in the place, and it is
right to mention that there are few
IL any towns in the State that can
justly boast of as much talent in the
entertainment line as this village. Be-

Lieut.. Harry A. Donahue, Alfred p.
Lonergan and Don Lunt. The songs
rendered by DR.. l.. A. Evans and Will

time in the giving of local entertain

been adequately lighted. Norman j..
Boyden was stage manager, with Harley
