Interesting Play Produced by Local Talent -- Charming Specialties Were Introduced. % Large audiences greeled the pres. entations of "Love and Friendship." an amateur production' under the auspices of the Annandale Chapter 1.O.D.E., at the Grand Opera House on Thursday night, Friday afternoon and evening. The settings for the various specialties between the acts were magnificent and a work of art. The story itself held the audience with unflagging interest and some of the cleverest amateur actors In the city took part in the production. The plot possessed some merit, and interspersed between some of the tensely dramatic episodes were light touches of comedy, which enlivened the play. Thefriendship between Jack Pad- en, jr, a struggling poet, and Gene Karje, a vonng musician, the roles taken by Theodore H. Bird and J. Courtland Elliott, was the central theme of the story. The entrance of Marguerite Denville, ant opera singer, brought néw complications when both of the friends found that they were in love with the same girl. The plotting of the singer's father, and of Harold Hunting, a villain, brought divers misunderstandings. in the end, however, after spurning Mar guerite when he finds his beloved one in a compromised position, Karje offers his life, but happily is saved, and the curtain rings down with the lovers in fond enihrace. Both Mr. Bird and Mr. Elliott as- sumed their roles capably. Miss Phyllis Devlin, as Marguerite, was charming, and displayed marked ability in handling a difficult emo- tional role. = Prof. Noel Gill as her somewhat inebriated father was splendid; and his efforts were greet- ed with rounds of applause. As the villain of the play, H.W. Shaw was ; admirably suited to the part, al- though It was a decided contrast to his work in "Jack's Wife." which was produced here last season. Ser- geant-Major Harte as John sr., was accomplished inh his rendet- ing of the dignified old gentleman, whe held his son in disdain. Mrs Frank Ryan as Jennie Merryweather added quaintness to the piece, and her lines were a delight. In the minor roles J. N. Alexander, Misa Ethel Kent and Miss Helena Weir were very acceptable. Na Between the acts various special ties were introduced which were a delight to the eve. For the past month the L.LO.D.E. have been mak- ing paper roses and = several thousand garnished the stage set- tings in the various numbers. The pleturesque costumes of the boys and girls added to the beauty of the scenes, Mrs. T.
