The Entertainment at Masonic Tenn
ME.


The entertainment given last evening at
the Masonic Temple by the Girls Missionary
Society Of Trinity Church was grand sue
cess, both pecuniarilY and in the amount OF
pleasure aff orded, and the young ladies
have great cause to feel gratiied at the re-
rults. The spacious hall was filed to its
capacity, and many were compelled to
stand but IL may be asserted that never
has az audience been gathered at the half
that was more delighted and charmed than
was that OF last evening.
The entertainment opened with tableau
Of q "Fairy Scene" which was received
with demonstrations Of approval, and IN re-
sponse TO the enthusiastic plsudits was re-
pested.
The grafton by Mr.. Joe saussy on "PollY-
syllable Profundity" excited the risiblities
Of the house, and was complimented as ex
eeedingly good.
The next tableau, Beatrice on the Way
20 Execution, ;" was beautiful and excited
genuine admiration, the applause necessi-
tatiBg a repetition.
fBless Your Little Heart" was very sweetly
sung by Miss Madgie Jordan, who, though
somewhat hosrse, used he rich, cultivated
voice to advantage, and the speculative
hearers testified their pleasure BY neir ap-
plause.
The tableau "Inspiratfon" was most hap
PLY conceived and admirably executed,
snd was very favOrably received.
The various phases Of the power
Of music were exemplifed in the
Inspiration, and the effect upon the
several characters was exceedingly laugha-
tie. Under the inspiring strain OF the music,
there was churning, washing dishes, spank
ing the boy, dancing the baby, etc, sort
of exhibition, as it were, OF the effects OF
laughing gas. Il was gem, and all who
participated in I, are entitled to praise.
"Abow-b ben Adhem," recited by DR.
George II. Stone, q fine elocutionist, and
represented b. characters in tableau, was
heartily applauded and repeated, and may
be classed as verv fine.
Miss May Silva's Song of the Sea Shell"
was capitally given, and was complimented
with an encore.
The tableau Ruth and Bosz" was well
presented, and received the consideration
it deserved in the plaudits Of the house.
Miss JOrdau's recitation OF Searching 70
the Slain" was rendered in effective
style, and we cannot award it too high
commentator. The story depicts the anK
iety Of q mother searching for her boy, and
Miss Jordan c0nceiylug a correct idea OF
the subject, and throwing into her rec'ta-
ton the proper pathOs and expression,
favored the EuuleICe Win al dGLuldOlg
rendered and touchiDgly Elective piece.
s'The Swallows Farewell" duet, by Mrs.
Cleveland and Miss Irene Dixon, was beau
tifully sung and was eDc0red.
The tablesu "Coming Through the Rye"
accompanied by the song, was really eXquis-
tie, and was greeted With unmls.akable
ma ifeststions of pleasure.
The entertainment closed with the "Milk
Drinkers Chorus, 3" with a solo by Miss Irene
Dixon. which was greatly enjoyed.
OF the tablesux we can say that they were
excellent in conception and admirable In
execution, sad that everything seemed to
be exactly right. The arrangements Of the
entertainment, we understand, were con-
Quoted by Mr.. Alexander H. MacD0nell, and
the "Girls Missionary Society" are fortunate
in having secured so excellent q champion
to assist in their lsudable efforts, which we
are glad to know we're rewarded with such
abundant success. 4 repetition OF the en-
tertainment would, we are sure, be greeted
with pleasure.
