&stie applause With which the cantata
was received. There was decided I'M
prOvement noticeable in both the dramatic
and musical parts Of The performance,
70 those who had witnessed the initial
presentation. The stiffness and con.
Straiht natural 10 the frst appearance OF
the performers before an audience had IN
ameasure disappeared, and they weremore
free and graceful IN their movements, and
the stage fright having passed away they
both acted and sang better. As . scenic,
dramatic and musical performance, by
amateurs, there was but one opinion cx-
pressed, and that was that Il was an nm

the curtain for repetition OF some Of the
most dramatic scenes, TO satisfy the demands
Of the enthusiastic auditors, The solo
parts were exceedingly vel rendered, and
several Of the singers were honored with
fiattering encores. The cast was the same

ception, the part Of Z1tAk, HdHada's wife,
being very acceptably tilied by, Mis-
Theresa Philips, Instead Of Miss Ella Dill
Ion, the ZreA Of Tuesday evening. Prof
Charles Killmyer presided at the piano
with his accustomed grace and skill.
