MR. PLASTER OF PARIS.
The famous play was presented recently at Appleton, Wis., and the Post of that city tells how well pleased with it people were:
“Mr. Plaster of Paris” delighted the audience which saw his trouble exemplified at the opera house last night, and the work of all of the company was excellent.
The piece was a farce comedy of the very funniest variety, and was free from the cheap vaudeville antics and a super abundance of singing which too often characterize the plays which go under that name. The groundwork of the piece was good, and the members of the company portrayed their parts in an exceptionally neat and artistic manner. Although Richard Obee in the roll of John Plaster played his part to perfection, George Clements as Nel Nelson took the hero part of the night. His work in the Swedish part was strictly immense from the standpoint of the Appleton audience and was a clever portrayal of the dialect part. There was little choice between parts however, each member of the company bring fitted into a part that he could take to a point as near perfection as the lines would allow.
