NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
HIGH SCHOOL PLAY 
Town Harty, MANCHESTER, CROWDED 
Last Nicut For ENTERTAINMENT 
The Manchester Town hall was 
crowded last night when the enter- 
tainment by the students of the Story 
High school was given. The féature 
of the program was the presentation of 
the three-act comedy “Out of Town.” 
There were numbers by the High 
school orchestra and the Girls’ Glee 
club of the school. 
The money raised is to be devoted 
to the school organizations, including 
the orchestra, glee club and athletic as- 
sociation, as well as the graduating 
class. 
The entertainment was pronounced 
a success. Every number of the pro- 
gram was thoroughly enjoyed. The 
play was especially good, and the eight 
boys and girls taking part had their 
parts well memorized. They had been 
carefully trained by Principal Saben 
and everything went along very 
smoothly. 
The part of John Spencer Elling- 
ton, the unwilling possessor of a duke- 
dom was taken by Rufus Long, who 
was disguised as a valet in the last 
act of the play. Robert Mayhew 
Thorndike, “ a bachelor by choice,” 
was taken by Joseph H. Carey. His 
mother, Mrs. Jane Harrington Thorn- 
dike, a widow, was very aptly imper- 
sonated by Miss Hester Rust, who had 
a strong propensity for bargains, and 
who was always doing things in “mem- 
ory of her poor husband.” In Acts 2 
and 3 she and her daughter, Elizabeth 
Thorndike were disguised as house- 
keeper and maid, respectively. This 
latter character was taken by Miss 
Dorothy Blaisdell, who was very cute 
and prepossessing both as a “daughter” 
and as a “maid.” The part of Mrs. 
J. Ludington Montoe, a tormer class- 
mate of Mrs. Thorndike, airy, domin- 
ating, aristocratic and “with plenty of 
backbone” was carried out in grand 
style by Miss Gladys Semons, and the 
daughter, Esther Munroe, a demure, 
sensible young miss, was exceedingly 
well acted by Miss Helen C. Wing. 
Two other characters, James, the but- 
ler, and Marie, the maid, were taken 
by Irving Baker and Miss Margaret 
Meaney, respectively. All acted 
well. 
The High school orchestra played 
as the first number of the program 
“Mosaic Overture,” and a concluding 
number Mendelssohn’s ‘Wedding 
March.” The orchestra is composed of 
Miss Dorothy Blaisdell, piano; Miss 
Porter and Joseph Carey, first violins; 
Ethel Townsend and William Mc- 
Diarmid, second violins; Lester Paige, 
cornet, and Harry Baker, drums. Wil-

The Glee club, which sang in such 
favor at the Women’s club last week, 
sang again last night and were warmly 
applauded, and well they might be for 
their selections were very well render- 
ed. They sang as their first number 
“Morn-Rise,” by Czibulka, and as an 
encore, “Oh, Lovely Night;” as their 
second number they sang, “Doan ye 
Cry, Ma Honey,” and as an encore, 
“For-Get-Me-Not.”
