the benefit OF the GAINESVILLE Civic

Ing full house each night. In fact
no sort of entertainment takes with
the people here as much as at home
talent play. The title OF the play
was the wild Irish Rose" and the
cast put in many evenings CO hard
and uilfgent practice under the per
sonal direction OF ID. X. Boyd OF Ma

highly commended for his skill and
proficiency In drilling the cast up to
such a high state OF perfection. Mr..
Boyd seems to me a natural born
genius in making the decorations, ar
ranging the costumes and in select
ing the right actor for the right
place. There were special features
between acts including a song "The
Wild Irish Rose by a number OF girls
and selec lions by Mrs. p. X. Empey,
soloist. Mr.. Doyle OF Waldorf ser
tainly merits distinction because OF
his whistling selections. Mr.. Boyd

forth hearty applause. The proceeds
from the receipts will be utilized by
the Civic league in its work for the
betterment for, the town.
