School Children
Stage “Evangeline”
Play Written by the Pupils to
be Acted Saturday Evening at
the Troy Avenue School
A class play entitled “Evange
line” and written by the pupils
of the Ventnor grammar grades
after their study of Longfellow’s
famous poem, will be presented
at the Troy Avenue School, Sat
urday evening, May 26th, at 8
o’clock.
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.
The youthful playwriters have
woven into their dramatic ver
sion of Longfellow’s poem a vi
olin solo to be given by Caroline

cast are Alfred Small and Paul

A feature of the evening’s en
tertainment will be the perform
ers’ colorful costumes modeled
after the style of the people who
lived in Arcadia several hundred
years ago, and the elaborate
pieces of scenery which are to
form five different settings for
the play. For a school produc
tion, “Evangeline” will be re
markably well staged.
The executive committee, who
have contributed no small part to
wards making the production a
success, are Elizabeth Hagins,
Louise Baroux, Esther Hepler,
Majorie D o w d a 11, William

An Idyll of North
Tennessee Avenue
O, the bird is by the bottle,
And the bottle’s by the dude,
And the dude is by tbe chorus
girl,
And she by him is wooed.
And they all are in a poem
By a Ventnob News bard,
And the poem’s in the paper,
And it’s measured by the yard.
And the price is in the pocket
Of the happy son of song—
O, a-rumpty-tumpty-tumpty,
How these poets get along!
