CINDERELLA
A play, “ C inderella, was given on W ednesday even­
in g in th e au d ito riu m . T h ere was a splendid a tte n d ­
ance of visitors an d th e efforts of the players w ere well
received. T h e play is an elaboration of th e fairy story
by the sam e nam e and its appeal to all was very stro n g .
E very one of th e players did capitally and praise in
large m easure g reeted th e ir efforts— an d was m erited.
T h e task of su p erv isin g th e w ork p rep arato ry to
production and of its public perform ance had been
placed in th e h an d s of M rs. M cCrosson and M rs. Brace
and they are en titled to all praise received, w hich was
heard on every side. T h e players w ere well drilled
on th eir p a rts and en tered into th e play in a way
w hich show ed real feeling and appreciation on th eir
parts, and this was contagious and extended to the
audience. It was indeed an evening of pleasure. T h e
