Orangeburg news and times. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1875-1877, 1875-05-08
At ELLIOTT HALL

IN our last issue we promised 10 give
the young performers, who were en-
gagged in the recent tab!caux and cha
radcs; given i'll aid Of the Baptist
Church, n criticism detailing their
failures and successes. But want of
space precludes the publication Of
more than general notice of the
affair, which was indeed recherche
from beginning to end. So also is it
impossible to single out any one of the
young performers who did not agrcca.
bic surpass our expectations. Those
WHO attended the entertainments ex.
press general satisfaction, and are
warm i'll their praise Of the managers
Of thing SO rcplctc with laughter
and enjoyment. 1t is true that we
have heard Of one or two remarks,
entirely uncalicd for, and very un-
generous and unchristian-like. Some
people think that others can't do
right, and that one of their class can
do no wrong. This latter class have
not tho power to sec themselves as
others see them, or else they would
not make themselves so conspicuously
unpleasant, or ridiculously absurd III
the eyes of the public a sound
Philosopher once said, "IIc that
thinks any innocent pastimc foolish,
has either to grow wise, or is past the
ability te do Sol" and we have always
regarded churish opposition to inno-
cent amusosncnts, ms inconsistent with
innate picty and greatness. But
enough of this. The tablcaux and cha
radcs were patronizcd by our whole
community, and enjoyed by all save
the Tray Blanche and Sweetheart Fry
whose lives are in danger from pune,l
up dignity. The young ladies and
misses were all lovely, and looked the
impcrsonntion of sweetness. They
took their places and acted their
several parts with grca; deal of
success. n fact which was frequently
manifested by applause from the
audience. If We had our way about it
wc would have these young queens OF
beauty on the boards at least once Il
week, during the summer. 1t could
no no harm, and would certainly be
atlording al opportunity to our town
falks spending their evenings pleas
antly. Besides it would give to tic
youhg minds engaged in Tic perform
ances that confidence so necessary to
carry us through this world. The
music VAS one Of The most charm
