After a successful opening production
at Bellefonte the previous week, the
coat ells fully prepared to present at
home a most euccessful play. The
wurk of the couches, Messrs Cloetingli
and Mason, {MX prominently displayed
In the remarkable stage conduct of their
Protegees
During the entire performance the
audience wan held In ti. mood.of enjoy
ment, broken now and then by riotous
outbursts of laughter and onticealation
of the situutions in .which the various
characters were ',limed and the clever
nays In which those concerned were
able to squirm out of the tightest places.
Numerous members of this year's cast
had never before uppeared in the glare
of the footlights, but not a single char
acter was placed In an uncomfortable

the
Fox '2l wonderfully portrayed
the part of the deaf wife of Mr Carr,
and Miss Sell '2l, a charming young
bride for Cluney. The part of Nell,
the maldr-who worked a. unique Plan

Knapp '2l, who has appeared In Thes
pian productions for the last two yearn,
excellently portrayed the part of Mr
Carr, the absent-minded and eccentric
husband, continually keeping the aud

and intensely absorbing habitn. To Mr
Schloonier fell the villanous work of the
averring, that which characterised the
pia,. With that dignified and resorted
air so essential to such a profession.
Mr. Wlisbach 'at masterfully performed
the role of Dr. Willoby, doctor of medi
cine, and Incidentally an ardent lover.
The unfortunate bridegroom, and per-
Handed kleptomaniac, as performed by
Mr. Mason '2O, was another of the
group which so strenuously appealed to
the audience, cleverly exhibiting the
seemingly Inane propensities for theft
which characterised his role In the play.
With the successful conclusion of
their first productlion of the year, the
Thespidh cast intends to present more
playa which. Indications point, will oven
amass that of the last play. "Stop

Fatima's sale: ncarly equal those of all the straight

costing as much el Fatima Las one-half of Fatima's
annual sales.
The reason may Le that Fatima contains more
Turkish than any other Turkish blend. This would
mean, in other words, that instead of containing too
much Turkish as straight Turkish cigarettes do, or
00 Ettie as in the poorer Turkish blends, Fatima's
famous blend contains rtst enough Turkish— just
enough to taste right and just enough to leave n man
feeling right even after smoking more than usual.
