While Mr. Donald MacDonald is unknown to Brooklyn audiences, he is far from being unknown in his own part of the country, the West, where, since he was graduated from the University of Wisconsin, he has put on with marked success many productions of the particular nature of "Echoes of 1911," the show which is to be given in the Opera House of the Academy of Music on the evenings of Thursday and Friday, November twenty-third and twenty-fourth, for the benefit of the School Settlement Association, so those who gather to see the performance may be prepared for a treat, for, if all the complimentary letters received from Western states are only half true, Mr. MacDonald is going to prove a decided acquisition to amateur dramatics in this borough.
