"NAN THE
MASCOTTE"
Presented by Windsor's
Dramatic Club—Scored
Success in Town liall--
Mrs. Francis Winston
Star Player - - Pleasing
Specialties.
The WilHamston people were
highly entertained 011 Monday night
by the presentation of "Nan, The
Mascotte'' by players from Windsor
under the management of Mrs.
Francis D. Winston. Windsor has
never sent auything but the at
tractive across the Roanoke, but
with the coming o! "Nan" it gave
somethiug better than ever before.
The troupe has the dtiisnction
of being the first to present a play
in the Town Hall. A large and
appreciative audience greeted the
players. The plot of the play i s a
strong one, and the moral uplifting
—showing as it does the honest
simple life in the country home and
the unhappiness produced by a
false ambition.
Mrs. Francis D. Winston as
''Nan" easily won the heart of the
audience by her true-hearted and
joyous nature. There war* not a
moment during the evening when
one weak point was detected in her
interpretation of the role. At the
close of the scene when she dis
covers the seemingly lifeless form
of her father, the action could not
have been better done. "'Mrs.
Baldwin," a schemer forsocal posi
tion, was perfectly inipersonited
by Miss Mary Manning. She was
the true type of the designing
mother, and in the end the devoted
wV. "Cabel Baldwin" was as
sumedbyj. B. Nicholls who is at
once the true-hearted New Eug
lander. Each actor in the play did
his part well—there was not one
weak player in the cast. Every
one deserves special mention. The
other members of the troupe were:
Mrs. F M Allen and Miss Gladys
White ( and Messrs J. H. Matthews
A. C. Mitchell, S. W. Kenney, C.
F. Lvon, Bryrnt Bazamore, Claude
Pierce and Archie Hobbs.
The specialties were delightful.
Miss Emma Flanagan showed a
remarkable talent for displaying the
grace of a professional in several
dances.
Mr. Claude Pierce in a sheath
gown and dish pan hat, a good rep
resentation of the fashionable color
ed female sport, convulsed the
house by singing a popular negro
air. Miss Gladys White charm
ingly sang two love songs and was
heartily encored. The singing of
Mr. A. C. Mitchell also gav&jnuch
pleasure to the audience. The en
tire performance was brightened by
beautiful music rendered by Mi«s
Castine Morris. She played popu
lar airs with rare skill.
The members of the troupe left
early Tuesday morning by gasoline
boat for the ferrv. where they-en
tered waiting vehicles and were
driven home. Williamston was
indeed glad to have them and the
latch-siring is always on the out
side.
Porch Party
Mrs. John D. Simpson's class in
the Methodist Sunday School gave
an ice cream supper at the resi
dence of Mrs. J. S. Turner on
Main Street, Friday evening laat
The inclemency of the weather
forced them to serve in the varan
dab, which is long and spacious.
A large crowd was present and
everything for sale was bought.
The class, which is composed of
femall girls, and Mrs. Simpson are
to be congratulated upon the sue-
cessful arrangement. They ap
preciate the interest manifested by
v lhe public.
