Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1879-12-26

HALE and e. b. COLE, the latter gentleman,
we are informed is entitled to special men
ton or his valuable services.
1t was our fortune to be present and wit
ness the very interesting exercises of the North
Towanda Sunday School on Christmas eve
Although but little preparation had been made
for the entertainment, everything passed off
! in an orderly manner, the scholars acquitting
themselves in manner rejecting the highest
credit upon the school.
The exercises commenced at o'clock by
singing "To be There" by the school. Dea.
ELLIOTT then offered prayer after which
quartettc of Young ladies sang "Live for
Something" very sweetly. Carroll reci-
tation by Master GUY LANE, was well deliv-
cred. A tableau, Prayer" by little LIZZIE
FOSTER, was charmingIy acted. NELLIE PAT
TERsoN recited Writing to Santa Claus"
very nicely, and master CHARLIE LINDLEY's
rendering of the Arithmetic LESSON was
very credtable. The tableau "7X1-Child-
hood" by FANNIE RUTTY and LIZZIE FOS-
TER was most natural and life-like. The
"Stylish Church." spoken by LESLIE MILLS,
and the "Model Church." rected by Miss
DORA HOLLON were perfectly rendered and
displayed elecutionary powers of high order.
Both acquitted themselves in a manner which
would have done credit to older heads and
trained public speakers. ''7X2-A School
Boy," was well personatcd by Master WILLIS
! MILLS. The" Temperance Song" was very
appropriate selection, and could not have been
more forcibly rendered by professional vocal
its than it was by the bright and intelligent
little daughters of the superintendent, MIL
LIE and MYRA SMITH. 7X3- Courtship,"
a tableau in which LESLIE MILLS and GRACE
SMITH were the actors, appeared just as natu-
raj as though they were making love in earn
ess. That touchingy beautiful little story,
Keeping his Word" was pathetically reci-
ted by NELLIE FOSTER. The tableau '7X4
-Marrlage." was acted true to life by Mr..
S. B. HARDIN, as pastor and Mr.. and Mrs.
A. G. SMITH, us bride and groom. 1.-The old
Mans Grave" was well and feelngly recited
! by w. MILLS. The tableau 7X5-The Fam
ily." represented thrifty, coy household,
with the husband and father quietly seated in
an easy chair perusing his newspaper after
a days toll, while the industrious wife and
elder daughter were busy with the knitting
and sewing, with two or three children vain
| ly cndeavoring to "keep quiet" 1t was a
good representation of IA model household,
and the personnel was well chosen, Mr.. and
Mrs. HOLLON personating the father and mo-
ther, with their daughter HATTIE, IZZIE RUT-
TY and TomMIE HORTON, AS the Olive
Branches. Little HARRY HARDIN elected
much applause by reciting with as much feel
ing and youthful animation as though he were
an actual participant in the scene described,
son the way to Grandmas." The tableau,
"7x6," representing widow exhibiting to
her orphan child the photograph of the dead
! husband nd father was well acted by ELMA
and ETTIE HORTON. EDDIE TAYLOR rcci-
ted The Butterfly" to the great amusement
of the audience. "7X7" was tabeau, repre-
sentng childless widow, with Mrs. CAR
CUFF as the actress Although she has out
| lived her three score and ten yaers, she is as
sprightly as girl in her teens and entered in
to the spirit of the performance with as much
| ecLdt as the Younger ones. Wonderful
Words of Life" was sung by number of
young ladies. - The Dolle | Love Best"
was spoken by MYRA SMITH, and no actor
ever did better justice to his subject; il could
not have been better rendered. The most
amusing tableau was the /" Flour of the Fam
ily," which proved to be "a sack supposed to
be filled with flour. BRADDIE AYERS recit-
ed humorous piece entitled Bread and
Butter" i'm a very creditable manner. The
