The Concert and Dramatic Enter
tainment given at the Opera House,
on the night Of the Bird inst, for the
Monumental Fund, was, in the
humble opinion of this local writer,
The best amateur performance that
has taken place in our city, for
sometime. The amateurs were COM
pllmenlcd by II very fine audience
composed OF the best people of Jack
son. A few Of the prominent features
OF the programme we notice it being
impossible to do justice to all
The vocal solos of Mrs. Cage, Mrs.
BrunsOn and Misses Wolfe and Barr
Were eXquisitely rendered. The sing
ing of Verdi's ooh, Italy, and "The
last Rose of summer" by Mrs. Cage,
was rapturously applauded, Mrs. G.
has vocal powers Of II high order, and
her rendition of the most difficult
pieces never fails TO capture the hearts
Of her hearers.
Mrs. Brunson's solo, "Fra-tanti
Angorcia" was finely executed.
Miss Emma Wolfe gave 'Bolher
he men," in captivating style, re- !
to hearty encore. I
Miss Cola Barr sang the "Magnetic
Waltz" very swcetly.
Miss Lizzie Cooper entertained the
audience by her fine rendition of o
Souvenir de Faust" piano solo.
Messrs. Hunter, Brunson, Skellin- s
.er, Hilzheim and Millctt by their
'ocal powers. added much to the
Pleasures of the entertainment. =
The petite comedy "I've written to u
Brown" could not have been better
erformed by professionals. The char
cter of the sprightly widow, Mrs. +
Valsingham, personated by Miss Liz
lie Cooper, was splendid piece of fl
omedy acting, and fairly captured b
ne audience by her true conception u
the character, and self-possession in
S happy and successful portrayal. y
Iiss Lizzie would make Il capital g
tile actress with proper training.
liss Cola Barr played the character At
Laura, sister of Mrs. Wasingham,
ell and charmingly and without Il +
ak, looking the embodiment of the
eautiful and irresistible younger sis q
Il. The parts Of Peregrine DOTS,
harles Wetherington and Otway u
heridan Brown, were acceptably
ken by Messrs. Millett, VanHook n,
Id Cage. The last named gentle
an is n natural born actor. This
as his first appearance, but he talks
I'd stalks like an old stager
Altogether the entertainment was
&c of more than ordinary interest,
ID was fully appreciated by select to
dience. Oh
A nice little sum was realized, and ap
lced in the bank, as nest egg upon III
lich to start the Monumental! Fund;
d we hope to be able to chronicle an,
'apid increase.
The amateurs have been invited to |
peat the entertainment at Canton, Pal
S., and it is The general wish of the
bile of Jackson that they will favor
I'm with another performance of '
: same character.
