Lenox' Boclen Agatha's Aunt, the mid-winter play, is said to be one of the best productions ever put on. lts originality and the splendid work of the actors brought a great deal of praise from an appreciative audience. Caryl McCorkell and james Klauer carried the leads and interpreted their parts in a highly skillful and amus- ing manner. The play centers about Agatha's Aunt, a young woman about 20 years of age, who has been left an old ram- shackle country mansion and a lot of debts. She decides to earn some money by taking in summer boarders. After several vain attempts to get boarders, a young blind millionaire from the city, thinks he has gone to the home of Agatha's great aunt, and she has to play the role of an old lady. She falls in love with him and in the end they are happily married. Much credit must be given to Mrs. Fry, who coached the play, and was responsible for the success of the pro- duction. .MXH--:Vfk'z...l.W'H...A!f Sg.,,lMyH,,,.U'M,
