T h e young actors knew their lines and moved promptly when their cue appeared That their efforts to entertain were successful was easily seen I y the applause bestowed upon them by the audience; the between'acts were of a specially entertaining feature, the vocal solo by Miss Crosfield, sung in charming voice, and the character sketch by Miss Barnett both receiving hearty en core.
