sa We had the pleasure of attending on
Friday evening, the cath ult., in this town.,
one of the most tasteful and pleasing exhibi-
tons hat we have witnessed during many
years pasta series of tableaux vivants and
dramatic performances given by the young
ladies and gentlemen ofthis place for the bene-
fit ofthe Episcopal Church. We are inform
ed that to Mr.. Morrison, the minister in
charge of that Church, is due chiefly the
credit for the tasteful arrangement of the
stage as well as the happy execution Of the
varied programme.
We must confess that we had no idea so
mach undeveloped dramatic talent existed
in our midst as was displayed on the occa-
sion in question. Indeed, we have seen at
the Varieties and ST. Charles theatres in
New Orleans, performances which fell far
| short of the excellence CIV need by many, in
fact, we may say, by all the amateurs who
took part in this. The audience was both
large and appreciativc, and the young ladies
and gentlemen displayed in their presence
all the self.possession and grace of manner
which VIC usually find in the private circles
of Southern society, but which We rarely
witness on the stage, except among proIcs
sional actors.
we do not like to particulaTize any on'
feature of the evenings entertainment
where 50 much taste and talent were dis
played in carrying out every part OF th(
programme, butEwe cannot forbear mentions
ing the exquisite skill and culture displayed
by the young ladies who sang portions o.
some of the popular operas. No voice but
one trained to the highest degree of per(ec
ton could have comprised those difficult
pieces of music, and though we make nc
pretensions to art criticism, we express the
opinion tina. such skilful execution on the
piano and such perfect control Of the human
voice are rarely seen outside of professional
circles in large cities.
"a Sage Conversation" a well known
selection from the Georgia Slenes of Judge
Longstreet, and "oil and Vinegar" a very
clever farce, were done to the life indeed,
we cannot do justice in this brief notice to
the excellence of the acting in these two
pieces.
Our feeling on witnessing the close ofthe
