DRAMATIC SUCCESS
Kreeport pridea Itaelf on Its many unlfjue attractions which appear from time to time and have made It such a desirable place to live in. The pre¬ sentation by the Mask and WIk Club of Freeport on last Friday evenlnt? In the Crystal Theatre of four orlRlnal one act plays, written by H. Bratton Ken¬ nedy, marks another distinct success for this community. Mr. Kennedy Ih the dramatic director of the club, a well known actor of lonK experience, and his versatility and talent were fuHy displayed In the plays which he had written and which were produced for the flrst time on this occasion.
The openInK act entitled ' 'FInKer T'rints" enlisted continuous laughter and applause. Mrs. <!raoe Westcott as MadK^' FlemlnK. whose diamonds havo been stolen and who Is about lo marry one Stanley Hreer. a curb broker, play¬ ed by Mr. Harold Smith, played a dlfH- cult role In a charmInK manner. Mr. Henry S. Starr and .Mr. Albln .V. .lolin- Bon, two detectives called Phi. I>elaney and Phil Leary. were true lo life In their parts as sleuths who were for¬ ever flndlnB clews of no importaiiec and
clown, by Mr. H. F. D. Kelsey:
who reached a high climax when the , mIe,
smaller of the two arrested the larger . George Ricketts, treasurer, by Mr. "Wal
as having pinched diamonds In ques- , ter M. Nichols; 'Bull" Martin, the ring
tion, which were actually stolen by the master, by
lovtx, who was saved from disgrace by
the substitution by Miss F'leming of Tlm Delaney's flnger prints In place of Mr. Oreer. Jimmy, a bell boy. by Mr. KusBOll Tree, also ably supported the cast and was the New York bell-hop to the life, while Mr. Harold Smith played Stanley Greer with true dramatic force and precision.
The second act, called "Auld Robin," was In rhymn and the title role waa played by Mr. Charles W. King In a way that held the audience spell bound. Mary, his young wife, portrayed by Mrs. Grace Uunbar, a difficult role, was skillfully played by her. Mr. Edmund T. Cheshire lent excell<-nt support aa .Jamie, her sailor lover, who had been wrecked on the shores of old Japan. The whole scene was very touching and pathetic and at lis conclusion brought forth rounds of well merited applause.
"Tnmorrow," a circus episodi; in cos¬ tume, abounded In one novel situation nfler another, and was played In auch excellent fa.shlon by tlw riarllcipants that It would hi' difTienlt to partlcu- hitl/.e. It can only he Kaid Ihat Jlm-

Smith, and Gene Hardy, the Kquestrlenne Queen, by Mrs. Edith Cheshire, starred In their different parts. Particularly was this the case with Mrs. Kdlth CheHhIre. who dis¬ played her experience to uncommon ad¬ vantage.
The last act, entitled "The Breed," concluded the evening with a tragic Incidence of the northwest, with ap¬ propriate setting. Seldom even among professionals has been performed a part .such as I'lerre, a half-breed, as well as this characli'rization by ..ir. F.dmuf.d T. Cheshire. He played the part with real artistic skill and force. Mr. Forest S. Dtinbar and Mr. George W. Westcott, as Ihe ranger and chief forester, weil supported him and Miss Louise Hollo, as Gertrude, who was also called tawn-ey< h. mad.- a very pleasing Impression.
The lour acts covered such a variety of situations in such a clever fashion that it was hard for Ihe audience to realize that u local amateur dramatic association was entitled to the credit for Ihls good work. A large and fash- lonal)le audiince was present. The Frr-eport Club was the heneflclaiy of th" performance on tills occassion. .Mucli credit Is due lu Mr.-JI. Bratton K< nnedy, not only fT his "hbilily in writing such high class and acceptable plays, but also for the manner in which he tralnid the performers in their var¬ ious roles. .Mready aptillcai ions have come from other villages to have these acts played there and the club has al¬ ready arranged to do so at Oyster Bay at the I.yrle Theatre on the 11th of this month.

Tli<> Lights Club at Freeporl has in¬ augurated a series of .special Wednes¬ day nights, which began with Wedne.i- day, August 2.

Editor of The Nassau Post.
In traveling about the county over some of our familiar roads, I noiice there Is a dearth of suitable guide posts.
The highway law, Section 68, provides that the town superin-tendent may, with the consent of the town board cause guide posts with proper Inscriptions and devices to be erected at the inter¬ sections of such highways therein, as may be nectssiU-y, which shall be kept in repair by him at the expense of the town. Upon written applicition to him, of five resident taxpayers of any town or twenty resident taxpayers of the county ir which such town is loca.ed. i.i|ii>sting the er>'Clion of one or more guide boards at the Intersection of lilghways in such town, it shall be his duty to cause to be frected at the In¬ tersections mentioned in such applica¬ tion, such guide boards Indicating the direction, distanci s and names of the towns, villages or cities tV) or through winch such intersecting highways run. .Such application shall designate the highway Intersections at which sucli guide boards are requested to bi> erect¬ ed, and may contain suggestions as \,i^ the in.-cripllons and devices to be plac- '•(1 upon .--ucli boards. The cost of Ihe er'ction and maintenance of such board-" sliall b«- a town charge.
ThU Siction undoubtedly applies to town liigl.ways. Tliet<' are many good dirt roads in this town and adjoining towns of the county, which have never sec n a sign board, and the only way that one can tell where they li'ad to is to ask iiuesllons along the rolue or fol¬ low till m out to the i iid.
Many of tlK'se roads are much trav- 'led. and are erossid by Inierseeting roads.
.\s far as the State or county ro.'ids are concerned, section 125 of the high¬ way law gives the division engineer llic> power to map out the highway and to provide tllercln for the erection of suit¬ able guide boards.
The district or eouiiiy su|iei intendeni is reiiuired hy law to submit annually to the board of supervisors, a state¬ ment of the amount necessary to be raised by the village for the construc¬ tion, improvement and maintenance of couniy roads for the ensuing year. He has also general charge of all highways and bridges in the county, and general supervision of the work of construct¬ ing. Improving and repairing upon highways In his district or county.
It is Ills duty lo inspect Ihe highways and bridges In the town and advise and direct the town superintendent to re¬ pair, maintain and Improve tlnin.
Tile matter of ereeting suitable sign boards seems to have been sadly iie- Kleeliil. Tliose in charge of our roa<l system should nol overlook this im¬ portant detail. Persons living along the road, and individuals employed to work on Ihe road, and those in charge there¬ of in;iy not se.- the use of having an\ guide po.st ol si^;n board on that par¬ ticular road. This is no reason why ."^i la liters wlio travel over lli;il road
should not be given some notice and Instruction as to where the same leads.
If our road system demands the erec¬ tion of guide posts at all intersecting points where there Is considerable travel, and the same should be main¬ tained, the officials authorized to erect and maintain such guide posts should not wait for a petition to be presented to them before attending to this im¬ portant detail.
I trust there will be a marked Im¬ provement in the dispensation of Infor¬ mation as to the roads in Nassau coun¬ ty, both macadam and dirt, by the erec¬ tion of pioper sign boards. In the near future.
Respectfull.v yours,
lioNRV L. M.VXSON.

RECKLESS DRIVING
In a statement made Wednesday by J. A. McCrea, general manager of the Long Island Railroad, emphasis Is placed upon the fact that reckless driv¬ ing of automobiles and other vehicles rivi^v Long Island grade crossings, Is increasing rather than diminishing.
"It Is very difflcult to believe," says Mr. McCrea, "Ihat we are making any lieadway in Ihi- prevention of accidents ai our grade crossings. We have records of 140 distinct cases of recklessness which have occurred In the past seven months, and if drivi rs continue lo vio¬ late the safely rules at this ral^for the remainder of the \-.;ir. the reeord for recklessness in r.'16 will exceed Ihat of li'Li.'
