Leads Outstanding
Features.
It would be a. hard matter to de-
termine just. which of the leading
players in the Springwood Dramatic
Club's presentation of "On the Bar
7. Ranch" is deserving of the most
praise. All of them gave a. most tin-
ished interpretation of their various
roles, both at the matinee as well as
at the. evening performance at the
Palace Theatre yesterday. The play'
was presented under the auspices of
the Springwood A. C. and was well
attended.
As was stated above it would be a
hard matter to determine which of
the actors was best. but of the char-
acter parts undoubtedly the laurels
must be awarded to David (‘rlnsscr as
"Jone" the villain and Helen Itcdway'

PIIQDLION‘T BIALE QUARTET.
At the services of the South Nor-
walk Congregational Church last
Sunday Rev. Jacobs made an an-
nouncement thgt will be of interest to
many in the Nerwalks. to the effect
that the representative of fihc Pied-
mont College Quartette of Piedmont
College. Georgia. had called at the
parsonage on Saturday evening. to
say that following an engagement at
the North Side Congregational
Church in New York City on Sunday
evening. they would be in this part
of Connecticut on Tuesday. and
would come to South Norwalk if it
was so desired. Although too late to
make the usual preparations and ad-
vertising for their usual concert. they
agreed to give their regular program
under special arrangements. that is.
there will be no admission charged
for the. evening‘s entertainment. but
a free-will offering will be taken. the
entire amount to go to the work of
the college for which these singers
travel.
Piedmont College has been for 25
yearsiocated in a section of the South
among the Georgia mountains where
is found the only solid American
born population of America. where
97 per cent. of the people are native
born Americans. It is also the cen—"
ter of the nation’s greatest illiteracy,
and the college is doing an excellent
work among the mountain whites of
. that state. It is in the interest of
their college that the Piedmont Male
Quartette is taking this 'northern
tour.
The program which will be given
ern dialect songs, popular glees. col-
lege and southern folk songs. There
will be a short. description of the
work which the college is doing. The
usual admission charged for this con-
certis 50 cents but owing to, the ab-
sence of booking arrangements. and
the fact that: there have been no tick-
ets provided. there will beno admis-
sion charged at the door. This con-
cert is however. for all who are to
hear good male quartette singing. and
a collection will be taken.
