The VERMONT PLAYERS in HIS HONOR

a tense gripping drama with some tears and many laughs



The Vermont Players in His Honor
This notable presentation of the stage success His Honor includes two characters which will live forever in the memory of every person.  Richard Dale, the wealthy lawyer whose ideas of personal honor have become a mania with him, and Lillian Dale, the innocent and wronged wife, whose devotion and love are just as inseparably part of her, meet the supreme test of their love and lives during the action of the play.  Davey Hopper, fresh from the country and with an insatiable appetite for apples and a simple faith in humanity, relieves the seriousness of the tragedies which threaten to engulf everyone, and many audiences pronounce Davey as the true hero of the play.

Dolly, Davey's sweetheart, carefully keeps the thread of budding romance intact while lives are being toyed with, and Black Mark is the villain, and not such a bad villain after all, as we learn in the third act.

The play is in a prologue and three acts, and featured in the cast is Isabel Vane Kinnison, a dramatic artist of much study and experience, who has the rare qualities of virile strength combined with woman's supreme sympathy, and whose portrayal of Lillian has been pronounced one of the finest achievements of the year on the lyceum and chautauqua platform.

There are laughs and tears, and more laughs than tears, throughout the play, and throughout the story you get glimpses of the old home when the apple trees are in bloom—you can almost smell the blossoms—and hear the oriole whose nest swings from the highest branch.

The portrayal of His Honor is a noteworthy event in every community and is an important contribution to the happiness and welfare of every person in the audience.
