On Frida.v evening of this week in lhe Board of Trade building will be presented the "Nest Egg," a comedy as refreshing as a breeze in summer — for the beneflt of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Roosevelt M, E. church. Miss Susan F. George, one of the most popular and talented young ladies of Roosevelt, will be the heroine there¬ in and slie is supported by an un¬ usually capable caste of performers from the Mask and Wig Club of Free- pot t under the supervision of H, Brat¬ ton Kennedy, its professional director. This performance made a hit when given in Freeport for two nights by the same performers. It is expected that many persons from adjoining vil-« lages wiil come over to enjoy it on Friday,
The comedy is unusually clever and entertaining. It depicts the numer¬ ous droll siluations when the old maid, who has written a tender senti¬ ment on an egg laid by Minerva, her pet hen, receives a telegram from a gentleman in Albany arranging for a meeting. She immediately gets the idea that at last she Is to be married and arrangements are made accord¬ ingly. Her consternation may well be imagined wlien she meets the gen¬ tleman who wishes her to be a wit¬ ness in an aclion brought for dam¬ ages due to indigestion caused him by this egg which has been in cold stor¬ age for three years. Her friends come lo the rescue very cleverly and the performance ends In an unusually happy manner.
