For B many years he had been connected with the large mercantile firm of L. D.

AT THE THEATRE. <; <?> < > > <$; < > <j> < / ,> <?> <?>< > <W> <?? The Servant in the House. Goldscoro (X. C.) Daily Argus. A lar^e and appreciative audi; nee witnessed the presentation of . "The Servant m the House" at the Messen ger opera house on Christmas night, and this dramatic master-piece most assuredly maJe the same ennobling impression on Goldsboro theatre-goers as it has exorcised on audiences all over the country since its introduction on the American stage. As "Mansou," a character created not to be soon forgotten by devotees of dramatic literature, Mr. Victor E. Lambert, possessed of eloquent voice and unaffected gestures, gave an ideal interpretation of this extremely difficult role, as did also the supporting members of the cast in therr respective parts. Truly is it a hopeful sign of the times, indicative of {gradual raining of the public taste when, despite the long existing popular demand for more frivolous pieces, such plays ns this can go to both our largest cities and smaller towns, play to bouses satisfactory from the standpoint of the box window and at the same time be received with admiration bordering on vo enthusiasm. For persons of culture and education to let slip an opportunity to see "The Servant in the House" is to forego a genuine pleasure. The play and the excellent company resenting it deserve crowded houses everywhere, and the influence of lingers in the soul with refining una elevating effect like a "benedic-tiD 1 after prayer.'' "The Servant In the Hopse'' will be een at the Newberry opera house January 16. "Freckles.* Chattanooga News. ! Xo one could help enjoying "Freckles," the unassuming and unaffected little play which was presented before an appreciative audience at the Lyric last night. A story of real heart Interest told in a direct, simple and appealing fashion and with a thoroughly adequate company. "Freckles" snouia appeal to all play-goers. How "Freckles," the little one-armed youth, comes to the Limberlost, gains the admiration of his employer and the enmity of the timber thieves and the love of the "angel" is related in a very forceful manner. There are tears when Freckles tells of his early struggles, but the boy is so full of wit and bravery and of pure Irish grit, that the laughs win by a big majority I Neil Twomey, in dramatizing the ! novel, has retained much of the atI mosphere of the book. Duncan and ! Mrs. Duncan furnish' some hearty ' laughs, while "Freckles" is the same i lovable young fellow who delighted so | many in Gene Stratton-Porter's novel. The plot is developed logically and, rare for dramatized affairs, the suspense is maintained to the end. Perry Golden makes a very pleasing i Freckles. He sings several songs in ! an appealing voice, and his portrayal I of the "guard of the limberlost" is thoroughly pleasing at all times. | Miriam Gasparo, as "Angel," is charming. She plays the role in girlish fashion, and one really couldn't blame Freckles for falling so desperately in love. The remainder of the cast is adequate. "Freckles" is. altogether, a most en joyable entertainment, and while there are a few minor faults in technique they are not noticed in the touching story which tugs at the heart strings at one moment and pulls hard on the "risibility strings" at the next. "Freckles" will be seen at the Newberry opera house in the near future.
