AMATEUR DRAMATIC SOCIETY
AN APPRECIATION

The Amateur Dramatic Club of
richmond. presented "The Acquittal"
at the Howard Theatre recently. I'M
der the direction Of Mrs. Alice
Holmes Harris. with Miss GLADYS V
Booker in the title. AS dramatic
presentation it was by far the best
producston ever staged hereabOuts by
amateurs and surpassed i'm many re-
spects some professional ones. The
plot was clearly read and the scenery
settings Respondent and gorgeous.
Miss Booker, as Mrs. Madeline
Winthrop. carried her rG!e easily and
read the character of deceived, vet
loyal wife. well nigh perfectly. She
rose TO the heights of the Thespian
art IN the confession scene.
Mr.. P Edward Giles played oppo-
ste Miss Booker as the innocent
guilty scat of husband He handled
the various scenes, domestic and 9th
erwtse in eminent style. In addition
to his splendid Interpretation of the
spoken part. he really conquered in
the amorOus scenes. Most amateurs
are lacking i'm the finese of "hand-
ling the female of the species" in
public. They grab her as they would
a sack Of meal. but Mr.. Giles has
perfected the art and led Mrs. Win
throp I'm true Lochivar style.
MIR. p. RI. Storrs was admirably fit
ted for Conway, newspaper crime in
vestigator, or we may say that the
part was admirably fitted to him
His work was great Miss Rosa B.
Meade is gifted with a perfect car
riage and well modulated voice and
carried Edith Craig to dramatic cli-

delineasson of Hedges and Nellie.

N. A. A. G. P. WRITES TO
EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE
ASKING UNIFIED EFFORT

Announcement of separate CAM
paign for the release of the men, under
taken by the National Equal Right
League. brought the following letter
from the N. A. A c. p, asking for uni
fled effort:
when the N. A. A c. p, undertook
the campaign to free the imprisoned
members of the Gath Infantry, it was
distinctly stated that this was not an
N. A. A. G. P. affair only. and churches
and organizations of every variety hav
ing been invited to Join in the work,
did so generously
I'VE do however, object to the Nat
ional Equal Rights League asking, as
a press dispatch reports them to have
done, that resolutions urging the re-
lease of the oath Infantrymen be sent
to fheir Offices in Boston. The success
of this campaign depends upon the
number of signatures gathered py ne
N. A. A. c. p, AMI presented In mass
to President Coolidge. For other or
CARNATIONS to make themselves cen
tiers of similar campaigns simply iii
vides the effort and lessons the effect
iveness of the whole.
1--WE again urge that no separate eff,
tort be undertaken, and if the Nation
al Equal Rights League wants to pre-
sent its resolutions and signatures TO
President Coolidge, we urge that that
be done together with the N. A. A. c..
P. as there is no disposition on our
part to deprive any other organization
for credit for such work as it may do
IN this cause"
