TH , A TRUE? n' lplgmmith Enum It was as though Mr. Well's time machine had been put into use and we lived for an hour in the very young days of America and New England the night that a Rose o' Plymouth Town was presented by the D'Youville Dramatic Association, under the direction of Miss Mary Graham. The vivid pictures of life in those early trying days were very impressive, the cold of New England winters, the terror of the Indians, the aching loneliness of those valiant people, the cheer that even a log cabin can hold when happy hearts are gathf ered around its fireside, the exhilaration that youth and high courage evoke in facing an unknown existence, the satisfaction of producing from an unwilling land the essenf tials of sustenance. The audience was deeply appreciative of the excellence with which the cast por' trayed their roles and entirely sympathetic with the amusing .or harrowing situations which occurred. The arrogant villain, John Margeson, provoked the ire of everyone, shy Miriam and her unpracticed lover, Philippe, were two charming figures who, in their youth and naturalness, called forth sympathy and appreciation. Sturdy Miles Standish and: his dignified, beautiful aunt, Resolutealson, who longed for a' new thrill after her long life in London, rendered their parts with ease and vitality. Garrett Foster, the gallant hero, who lived through some amazing escapades, and Rose, the capricious, winsome maid, who came from farfoff France, that land of sunshine and gaiety, to the windfswept coast town, evoked universal admiration from the mo' ment Garrett appeared in the window with his stolen corn to be saved from the con- sequences of his rashness by Rose, until the curtain descended upon a very satisfactory happy ending. Theiscene was set in Plymouth in Miles Standish's house, with its great fireplace, its gleaming pewter and simple furnishings and then the threads of eight lives were brought together, twisted and, tangled, loosened and finally woven into a firm, intricate, pleasing pattern. dbx Wu Xlxmfhrgff , A 1 35--,hs ,, , fijg-5-my-l 10510 my of X 'ow 1, Vg? iYi be?
