He touched casnal- ly upon the history of the drama, in troducing some thoughtful observ-| vations on the Shakesperian contri-| butions to dramatic literature. Mr. Drane's remarks were given close attention and were liberally plauded. The presentation ¢f “The Ros- ary,” was pronounced by many the best theatrical performance that has| Leen witnessed in Lakeland. The May itself is pure and wholesome, conveying good moral impressions, and leaving the spectator better for taving witnessed it. Add to this that it was presented by real ar- tists, who displayed none of the crudities of the amateur, so often witnesse! on the small city stage, and it is not to be wondered at that the general expres:ion concerning the performanc, is one of enthusias-| tic commendation. \While the story is deeply emotional, at times verging on the tragic, there is much reliev-| ing humor and the narts wece filled in such that audience frequently con- ialsed with langhter.
