Mias MacLaren’s Reading Delighted Large Audience.

A more charmed audience was never assembled in this city than the one that heard Miss Gay ZenoJa (MacLaren in the recital or “Daddy-Long-Legs” at the Presbyterian chureh Thursday evening. The four acts of the beautiful story were recited, Miss MacLaren taking every part and presenting the play almost as realistically as though the stage settings had been complete and the company of actors entire. Her changes of voice, her changing emotions, her very graceful and airy movements posesssed a charm rarely seen among readers and those who attended the entertainment will be impressed as never before by ftie sweet character of Judie Abott. It is not improbable that arrangements will be made at a later time to have Miss MacLaren present another play, possibly Miss Rose Stahl’s impersonation- of “Maggie . Pepper,” or William Hodge’s droll and amusing “Man Prom Home.” The seating capacity of any church in Rensselaer will be taxed to the utmost if she again comes to Rensselaer.
