"Jane Eyre" last Thursday evening attracted an audience which nearly filled the opera house. It was a high-class, affecting drama presented by a strong cast of talented players, and all who heard it were more than pleased. Dwight A Mead, who played the important part of Rochester is, by the way, a cousin of Arthur Maitland and Mr. Fred Zwiger of Sycamore. His home is at Elgin, where his mother, Mrs. Jennie Mead, resides.
