The characters were admirably cast and the retidition of the various parts would have done credit to a professional troupe. We would like "to mention the actors separately, but as spice for bids we will have to be content bv saying that all performed their parts with artistic skill, and thdse of our people who were unfortunate enough to be absent missed a rare treat. The audience was constantly kept changing from sympathy, for Martha and btephen, to side-splitting laughter oy me oveinowing mirth of Toby Twinkle.
