MANCHESTER WOMAN’S CLUB. 
‘Home Dramatics’’ Proved Pleasing 
_ Form of Entertainment Tuesday. 
Tuesday was ‘‘Ilome Dramaties’’ 
afternoon at the Manchester Wom- 
an’s club and the meeting at the 
Congregational chapel was a large 
and interesting one, over 150 being 
present. The meeting was opened 
by the president, Mrs. Grace Beaton, 
and reports of a recent meeting in 
Somerville, where the club was rep- 
resented by six ladies, were read by 
Mrs. Harriet Baker and Mrs. G. L. 
Knight. <A ’cello solo, ‘‘A Dream,’’ 
composed by J. C. Bartlett and 
transposed by Karl Rissland, was 
played by Frank Knight, with his 
sister, Miss Helen Knight, aeecompan- 
ist. The selection was greatly en- 
joyed. The dramatics were in charge 
of Mrs. Charlotte Brown, assisted by 
Mrs. Marianna Cheever, and they 
presented the farce, ‘‘The Klepto- 
” with the following cast: 
Mrs. John Burton 
Mrs. Marianna Cheever 
Mrs. Valerie Chase Armsby 
Mrs. Annie I. Knight 
Charles Dover 
Miss Florence Leach 
Miss Freda Dixon 
Miss Lila Goldsmith 
Miss Evelyn Evans 
Mrs. Larah Wheaton 
Preston Ashby 
Mrs. Edith 
Katie, Mrs. Burton’s maid, 
Mrs. Emma Swett 
The scene was an attractive room 
in Mrs. Burton’s home and the com- 
mittee had secured a very good effect 
with the chapel stage; the plot, 
briefly, was as follows: Mrs. Burtoy, 
upon arriving home, discovers that 
ber purse containing $100 and her 
rings, is missing and she reealls a 
strange woman, who sat beside her 
at a recital, which she had attended 
that afternoon. Mrs. Burton and her 
Mrs. 
Roberts 
friends at last hit upon the idea that 
the blonde woman had _ stolen the 
purse, being undoubtedly a klepto- 
maniac. The police are notified and 
a woman reporter is told of the story 
and Mrs. Dover calls upon her hus- 
hand and then the discovery is made 
that the strange woman was none 
other than Mrs. Otis Hloward, very 
rich, very influential and an impor- 
tant client of Mr. Burton, who was 
at that very time doing everything 
to conciliate her. The perplexity of 
Mrs. Burton and her friends as they 
try to undo the damage they fear 
they have done is very amusing, but 
at length the missing purse is dis- 
covered in Mrs. Burton’s coat, and 
‘fall’s well, that ends well.’’ Mrs,

the loss of her rings, particularly her 
‘engagement ring,’’ and her minute 
deseriptions of her neighbor at the 
recital brought down the house, Mrs. 
Wheaton, as the woman_ reporter, 
was typically inquisitive and her 
makeup was especially good. Mrs. 
Kdith Roberts and Mrs. Emma Swett 
had clever lines and took their char- 
acters well. Mrs. Knight and Miss 
Goldsmith as the friends of Mrs. 
Burton made a particularly attrac- 
tive appearance and were vigorous- 
ly applauded for their excellent act- 
ing. Miss Leach in the character of 
Mrs. Dover, was very sweet and her 
repetitions of ‘‘Charlie says’’ scored 
a hit every time. Altogether, it 
seems safe to say that the women of 
Manchester have never staged a play 
hetter than ‘‘The Kleptomaniac”’ 
and it received many commenda- 
tions,

Following the play, the Glee Club 
sang a pretty Indian song, ‘‘ Little

cave a monologue, ‘‘In a Street 
Car,’’ which was extremely humor- 
osu and true to life. Mrs. Brown’s 
readings are characterized by a na- 
turalness tending to make the au- 
dience feel that ‘‘real folks’’ are
