The play was well written, well staged and the . playing was. the best that has been, seen here this season. Mr. Gilmore, as Robert Wainwrig^t, a young Am»- icsn in the Argentine Republic during -the early fifties when the republic was going through scenes very mud; the game as Mexico is experiencing to day, as was at his best as Captain Alvarez. Mr. Gilmore is one of the very best actors on the stage today and one that never' disappoints an audience, and last night was lio exception to his great reputation. Miss Scott at “Bonita" was very very good indeed, and in fact the en tile .company was stronger than you usually see at the opera houses in much larger towns than this. Tlie play was high class through out with nothing degrading in it to offend the most critical and yet inter esting enough to please the hard-to- please. The house which greeted the play ers was smalt, but very appreciative. Miss Iris Bolt, a senior at the State Normal, who on several occasions has been honored by the different classes, and the student body, again comes to ihe front by beSng elected president of. the senior class, one of the high est honors that can be bestowed upon « member of the class. On different occasions she has been chosen to re spend'to toasts given at banquets. She is a remarkably bright young lady, I i «ne that any town or county may well he proud of. She is the daughter of ^ Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Holt. The Sunday Schoui Itinerary Results.
