mischievous motives; the old swim

trees and cool depths; the village
store, where wstermelons might be

Charles Ray never has had a role
so perfectly adapted to his talents
as that of Ezra Hull, in whose ad-
ventures the irresistible story
centers. He is the perfect embodi-
ment of the spirit of American
youth, absolutely convincing in the
nsturslness of his impersonation
both in comic and the serious mo-
ments of the story's development.
The supporting company is to be
credited also with a series of effec-

delightful action of the play.
