Dramatic Talent est A 0 b ands: in Hensel A good house greeted the Hensel lDramatic Company on Friday even- ..ing last when they presented their play, "Cranberry Corners," under the auspices of the local Patriotic Auxiliary. The plot centred about the love df- -+'fair of Tout Dexter, a young main who lived at Cranberry Corners, and Carlotta Bannister, a young girl from New 'York who spent her sum- mers with an aunt in the . neighbor - :hood. Carlotta's fashionable New York aunt, hearing of the state of things, comes down to put a stop to the outrageous flirtation and tak- ing the neice back to 'tile city is planning to marry her .oft to a man of .the world, one who seems to have some mysterious power over leer, the :aunt. Carlotta, who is truly in love With her rustic wooer, is in great trouble when along come Torn and Carlotta's lather, of, whose existence she is not aware. Bannister, who has served a term in State prison for man -slaughter but has been par - cloned, has gathered together proof of his innocence and confronts the plotting aunt demanding his daugh- ter and the restoration of his rights. It looks' as if the right would pre - wail and things would be straighten- ed out nicely when the man whom the wicked aunt was about to force (Carlotta to marry becomes possess- ed of the proofs and tears them in- to shreds and scatters them about the room. Tom and ,tice wronged `•s'‘,, father retire and things look black for . Carlotta, who being in complete ignorance of the reason why she is being forced to marry against her will only that ,it will save her aunt from disgrace, sends her lover away and resigns herself to the will of, the :aunt. Tont' goes unhappily homand is there brooding over his misfortune when the father who has spirited away his daughter from her tormen- tors, brings Carlotta down and be- stows her, with hisblessing, on the happy but bewildered Toni. So ev- •eryathing ends beautifully. ' "Just like :a novel I. o book," as Bella Ann re- marks delightedly, There are a number • ofpretty and amusing incidents and charac tern. There are old Andrew Dexter and Hezeltiah Hopkins, who are al- ways l-- wa ys wrangling about polities 3 g g bo- t 1 chiles and who play their part of simple coun- trymen very cleverly ; there is Nath- an Speck, the hired niece and Bella Ann, the hired girl at the farm, who 'becomes engaged and who fur- •nished several amusing bits, Bella Ann being especially. clever ; there was Mrs. Muslin, also an aunt of Carlotta, is something of a talker and who afterwards 'married frieze- kiah and went to New York on a t wedding "tower," and there is Ame- ' Tia Dexter, the calm and self-possess- ed maiden sister of Andrew, and 'Ton's aunt, The play was put on' by fensall young people and they are to be 'congratulated on the success of their 'venture. Each one took the part as- signed in an exceedingly clever way fon amateurs and those who witness- ed the play thoroughly . enjoyed it, The. -Hensell people gave their talent 'entirely free and after the expenses ,were deducted the Auxiliary had a 'nice little suns- to add to their, ,fund 'for the purpose of outfitting the Ilist Battalion. Members of the 1.61ist acted as ushers and assisted in many ways in snaking the entertainment a success'. Miss Pearl O'Neil Becomes the Bride of Lieut. Carter.
