MY FRIEND FROM INDIA. Excellent Presentation of .This Play" By the Danville Club. "Our Friends From DanvHle" came in on the morning train yesterday and we it. the guests of Greensboro Dra matic Club, who -showed in a measure their appreciation ofthe royal recep tion given - tbemi-'by their Danville friends wfTen they paid a visit to their city, A reception was tendered the members of the Danville club yester--day afternoon by the Merchants and Manufacturers Club in their club rooms. The performance last evening at the Academy of Music was heartily en joyed by the large audience. It was well presented and deserved all of the many warm, words of praise spoken of it. All of the' members of the cast were perfectly easy in their parts and played like professionals. The play ran smoothly and, was devoid of the usual number of interruptions and breaks that characterize the ordinary amateur performance. Mr. Green P. Talbott. as "My Friend From India," was perfectly at home and by exceptionally good inter pretation of his part completely won the audience. His was a difficult part and perfectly did he meet the different requirements of the character of "My Friend." The bombastic Mr. Erastus Under holt, by E. H. Ellyson, is deserving of special mention. Exceedingly well did Mr. Ellyson portray the character of a rich Porkpacker anxious to get into society. Dr. H. E. Koons played well the part of a young blood about town. The parts of Jenkins, Tom Valentine and Rev. James Tweedles were admirably given. Miss Lucy Neal, as the German maid, Tilly, played her part to per fection, representing well the inquisi tive .and. impertinent house maid. Misses Lottie Pace and Sue Bethel, as the two daughters of the porkpacker, deserve all .the good things said of them. They were natural and easy and as two dutiful daughters were perfection. Miss Alice Wemple, as the woman of society, well sustained her part. Miss Etta Anderson, in the part of Mrs. Beekman Street, was good. Taken as a whole the play was far above the average and was one of the best and most enjoyable plays Mr. Blackburn has given to Greensboro. After the play the Greensboro Dra matic club gave a reception at the Benbow in honor of their visiting friends from Danville. We hope this is not the last visit we shall receive fro:u our friends across the line; they will always receive a heart v welcome.
