Quantity New England in talk. ges-
ture, habit and tradition was The
Troubling Of Bethesda Pool" the two
act play adapted from the story by
Laura E. Richards of Gardiner. of the
same title given Thursday evening by
Clara Barton Tent, No. 9, Daughters of
Veterans.
Each and every one carried their
role in most adequate manner. Miss
Emma Jones in the part of Miss
Bethesda Pool of the old Inn. was a
delightfully."- sweet character, firm in
her determination to carry cut her
rights. but womanly and kindhearted
Mithal.
Mrs. Annie s. Arnold as Mrs. Sarah
Jenkins from Indiana, "she that was
Sarah Proctor" was as chatty and
busy as the energetic lady in the story
could ever hope to be in real life. The
green taffeta dress OF generation
ago. at least. which Sarah wore in the
| second act. was a work OF art, a gor-
geous creation.
II :emained for Mrs. Sara Killam,
| taking the part OF Mary Ann Tarbox.
| Bethesda's maid, to insert the comedy
| role of the cast. She was as pert and
| full of life and Jingle as she should
| be. and the way in which she endeav-
| ored to rule the house was most laugh
| able.
The story of the play Is familiar to
| so many who have read Laura l.. Rich
! ards stories, and who know and love
the characters which she so lovingly
portrays. Bethesda and Blackstone
| Bradford did not marry years ago, and
| that was what the whole story was
| woven around.
He married and his wife died. Then
| his daughter. Nan Bradford, wanted
| to marry Will Newell. So Bethesda
! planned a party in honor of Sarah in
order that Nan might be invited. get
| ting away from her father and in the
| meantime elope with Will. The party
was just a grand affair and everyone
arrived in their best bib and tucker
Or what did they call 'em In those
days?

| which were brought to light brought
| tears of laughter to the beholders Mrs
| Maud Jackson as Mrs. Bumpus, an ole
| neighbor. wore scarlet boomers which
| would have stopped a whole mile OF
| engines.
Miss Carolyn Hackett had a complete
disguise In her short lawn dress. and
Billie Miller as her brother, sporting
much avoirdupois, was funny bit OF
| Lumor.
While the party was in progress

Miss Marion Duncan as Mary Minchin
who speaks pieces, gave humorous
monologue of the village gossip en-
joying the telephone. Her encore was
