Brass Band Entertainment.

Brass Band Entertainment.
The entertainment given by w. A
Robertson's Brass Band came off on
Wednesday last and was success in
every particular. Doors were duly
opened at 7:30, o'clock and the curtain
drawn at 8 in the presentation of a
beautiful three-act Drama entitled
"Out In the Streets" We fail to say
enough when we say that this amateur
company appeared for the first time
in excellent rendition of this popular
piece. Col. Jasper Wayne, represented
by District Attorney F. F. Perrodin,
with the ladies who assisted him, was
the right man in the right place, and
Mrs. Wayne personated by Miss j.
Christman, one of our far famed bellies,
was highly lauded for the perfect rem
dition of her part in the play. Solo
mon Davis, or A. j. Perrault, ESQ.,,
appeared upon the scene with
"silver threads among the gold,r look
ing as fresh as Mr.. r. Bodemuller, who
"fixed him up' for the occasion. Mr..
P. was very emphatic to the last and
with characteristic self confidence
played perfect part Mat Davis, or
Mr.. Frank Pulford, came upon the
stage in his usual frank way and dis
played no little talent in demonstrating
to the public that he was wide awake
and "up to snuff" We cannot fore
bear in our mention in connection with
North Carolina Pete, represented in the
play by Mr.. A. Deitlein, that he was
"Tony" from beginning to end and
convinced all present that he was an
unauthorized "nigger" from six miles
south Of 'Niggerville." Although we
considered the play healthy one," we
would fail in the vocation to which we
are called il we did not prescribe to this
occasion diagnosis of DR.. Medfeld,
delineated by the lady's man of the
town, Mr.. Henry D. Larcade, whose
ready Judgment led him to such a
prompt decision on his lady patient.
He is composed of adaptable material
suitable in any place and always on
hand. Mrs. Bradford, was next person
ated by Miss NJ. Deitlein who eyinced
theatrical talent surpassed by few of
the best performers. The intercession
on the part of Miss Nina Hebrard in
the play representing Miss Nina Wayne
was peremptory and persuasive. Miss
A. Reynolds who acted the part of
Minnie Bradford was as much at home
on the stage as on the fantastic toe,"
and Policeman Jagou looked as though
be had had taste of duty before.
GRAND BALL.
Immediately after the performance
the side room or hall to the Opera
House was opened and ladies and gen.
tlemen partook of refreshments ready
waiting before entering the ma
" dance just begun to the music of w.
r. Robertson'e Brass Band. Nearly
every one at the ball stayed to partici-
pate, and with the graceful and easy
motion of gay young men and pretty
women mellow sentiment flowed from
the heart and to the ear of many pres
ent. Among the bellies who were on
the floor, playing havoc with all hearts
and whirling with each draw of the
bow, our memory serves us to mention
the following: Misses Christman, Hal
phen, Hebrard, Perkins, Reynolds, Gibbs
Loeb, and Miss Rosie L. Roos, who is
1T present jewell in the estimation of
. number of our ladies' men. Master
Isaac Roos and couple of friends
seemed to be each striving to monopo-
ize the society ola very pretty little girl
from Chicot, who was enjoying herself
Is well any one could under the cir
Time few swiftly by and
Ill things went on smoothly until about
$50 when warned by the lateness
# the hour, the party dispersed for
lome and peaceful slumbers.
