Carleton Players
Please Large Crowd

presented at the Coliseum last eve-
ming by the Henry Carleton Players
please a large audience despite the
stormy weather. Mr.. Carleton, who
has always selected his cast with the
greatest of care surely has the best
ever now. Miss Peggy Martin as
Dolly Mccoy was received with a
hearty applause by the audience and
played her part in her usual pleas
ing manner. Miss Vivian Mayo as
Dolly's mother took a. very solemn
part, quite unusual for her, but she
did it most admirably. Miss Mary
Hansbury as Pinky Sharpe took the
part of country lass and, last eve
ning's performance won for her a
place in the hearts of the Gardiner
people for she was a scream from
start to finish. Richard Lloyd as
Tommy Tuttle was in his glory as
a country boy and played 1t in his
usual funny way. Mr.. John j. Har-
ris as Andrew Harris, a scoundrel
took the part very cleverly and kept
things mixed up most of the time,
Philip Van Zandt as the leading man
is just suited to play opposite Peggy
as he makes fine appearance on
| the stage and received much ap-
plause from the audience during the
evening, showing that he was the
/ right man in the right place. Henry
Carleton as Max Elroy was up to
his usual high standard and also
kept things more or less mixed up.
! The play deals with a country girl
who joins the Follies and after a
! few years returns to her country
/ home and takes up the country life
again. 1t is a Three Act Comedy
