KESosHA, Wis, Dec. 25.-The ladies OF St.
Matthew's Church gave an entertainment for the
benefit OF their church fund tuesday au6
Wednesday evenings at Kimbsll Hall. The
Phantom Chorus from I" LA Somnambula " was
the treat Of the evening. rejecting much credit
on those engaged in its production. The tableau,
q Child Of the Regiment" was also given in
good style, and the entertainment as 9 whole
was ono Of the most enjoyable Of the season.
"sHE sTooPs TO CONQUER"
Was given Thursday night to oDe OF the finest
audiences ever assembled in this city. Those
present were there By invitation. The members
OF this club may indeed feel repaid for tho time
and trouble spent in getting up the play by the
warm and hearty appreciation shown by the au-
dience: Many fears we're expressed, previous to
its appearance, that this comedy WAS too difficult
for their youthful efforts, but the sequel proved
the contrary. The different characters were we'll
sustained. Miss Dora Head took the part Of
Ifs. HdrdcdstIe, surprising even her friends by
her really fine acting Miss Lou Ward, as
Mss Hd7dcGstle, VAS very good, making =
very. pretty barmaid when She stopped to
conquer. Miss Jessie Large vas very bewitch~
ing in the character of Miss Nerille, and Miss
Ris 6tebbfns as Dolly WAS also good. Carence
Van VIE, IS Tony Lunpkin brought the bonse
down, and many professional might well envy
this young man his dramatic talent. James
Howe acted the part Of Charles Marlo,ee in a
very acceptable manner. Arthur Wheeter as
Haracastle, and Ed. Kellogg as George Hastings,
were also good III their respective roles. It vas
the finest entertainment Of the kind given in
this City for some yearH, and the wish seems to
be general tnat it should be repeated for the
benefit Of those who we're unable to attend.
Homo talent like that developed by this club
should be encouraged and sustained by our citi-
zena.
THAT SELL
Monday evening will be remembered in this
community as the occasion Of Olive Logan's non
appearance, and the disappointment felt BY those
who assembled to welcome this much-advertised
lcctutess to our city. The hall WAS filed with
ardent admirers Of this lady who chatted and
gosslped two hours away waiting anxiously for
a glimpse OF the charming Olive until the an
was made that, for some unknown
reason, the lady had not arrived, and as con-
sequence. there would beno lecture. It certainly
Was good joke. but ono not liked any too we'll
by the citizens or Mt. Brooks, who has all the
advertising bill to pay.
