play, which is written dip-to-tfl
minute, and added anticipation
one of the best stories of pro4
and patriotism now before tl
public, was presented to our e
pie in the Majestic Theatre he
on Tuesday evening by Mj
Mary ftankin and a troupe fro
her uhool, to an appreciativ
and enthusiastic-audience.
With scarcely any advertising
and the weather coming on ba
in the late afternoon, we were
fearful that our friends from
Mackeys would be disappointed
with their reception here, but
before the performance bet? an a
fairly good number of people had
arrived, and e felt better, yet
we are truly sorry more of our
people did not see this play, for
it is one written with a purpose.
and reaches tltc40firinost soul
of every patriotSffma; fend every
other one woo; has-not reached
the lowest depths of avarice and
inhumanity to man. . .
The play is brim-full of drama,
comedy and pathos beautifully
interspersed, and its rendition,
using the mildest terms, gave
Plymouth the greatest yet most
agreeable sui prise it has reeeived
in quite a while. The acting was
not amateureish in the leaiit; the
articulation clear and' distinct,
every member knowing just
where they .were evgry minute,
and had the price been twice
what it was, it was worth it, and
more.
While giving full credit to all
concerned, we must say that
Miss Jlanljin is a genius of no
mean ability and .is an .asset not
to be valued in dollars and cents
to any school so fortunate as to
Secure her ser vices.
We are informed that this
phay will visit Roper to-night,
and will also visit other points
in the county, and possibly else
where. If it corner within your
reach be sure erd see it You
will not regret it, and then you
will be helping a cause tftat is of
vital interest to all America
the purchase of kibejrtjf Bands.
We understand tte re
ceipts amounted to something
near $50.00, and that Mr. Ever
ett, manager of the Majestic
not only "cut out" his show lor
the night, but refused to receive
indemnity for loss, or rent for
the theatre. We personally most
heartily commend our young
friend, for his liberality.
