Tryouts for the various ]3arts in the play were held over a month ago and the pupils who are to dramatize the immortal characters Saturday evening were at that time selected. Since then the young actors and ac tresses have been holding daily rehearsals under the supervision of Miss Katherine Chalmers, English teacher. The role of Evangeline will be enacted by little Louise Smith, who was chosen from the entire class as the one most capable to interpret the leading part. She is admirably fitted to portr’ay this important character because of her dramatic ability and resem blance to the delicate type of Longfellow’s heroine. Gabriel, the unfortunate vic tim of adversity, whose love for Evangeline never wavered through his years of suffering and sorrows, will be performed by Walter Williams. The coaches for the school production say that young Williams has amazing tal ent and that his characterization Saturday evening will be well worth seeing.
