The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1883-04-17
Worn by the Ladies at the
Ball at Nevada on Fri
day Night.
An Enjoyable Time Had by all
Who Were so Fortunate as
to be Present.
The Thespians Warmly Welcomed
and Highly Commended at
the Conclusion.

oil Iron, BY the IhespIan company oil this
city, WAS spoken of in brief in Yesterday
mornings BAzOO in connection with the
grand gala day at Nevada last Friday, but
AS each one Of the company excelled in her
or bis individual part, 1t Is we'll enough to
speak of the play in a more detailed Msn-
ner. The opera house of Nevada is indeed
a little gem and in its appropriate scenic
effects, the play of Dora received q setting
which gave it unusual interest. Mr.. La
tour as Farmer Allen, realized the authors
identity of the character fully. He was
not noisy, nor in any degree q boaster, but
his "iron will' vas part of himself, rs
inherent as his lie. Mrs. Josie Latour, in
her representation of "DOrs," was . sweet
and noble type of womanhoOd and the
actress sustained her role to the very end,
in manner which would have done credit
to professional rather than an amateur.
The singing of Only Pansy blossom,
by Miss Ada Cloes, was much enjoyed BY
her hearers and both she and Miss Mabel
Van Csmp-whose sympathetic voice is
slways admired-received hearty encores.
julie Saete!le, ss Luke Bloomfield, Herb
Nimms as William Allen, Carl Landes as
little Willie Allen. and each and all
or the actors in their respective parts did
finely. In the lsughable farce of a Kiss
in the Dark" Mr. Ed. Houx was "Selim
Pettibone" 10 the very life, while Frank
Hardcss,le as Frank FaihOm," Miss
Gussie Heismeyer as "Mrs. Pettibone" and
Miss Mabel Van Camp in her dual char
acter of "Mary" and the Unknown Lady"
gave the very best OF satisfaction to their
hearers. In point of fact the only thing
which can be said against the "Thespians"
is the fact that the actors now and then
forgot to speak loud enough, and the
audience 10 the back part of the opera
house were unable to hear distinctly.
The Sedalia Silver Cornet band rendered
some excellent selections between the
scenes, their handling OF the reed instru-
ments being harmonious and in excellent
time. At the close of the performance
almost the entire company adjourned to
the large dancing hall beneath the opera
house and there INDUCED in dancing until
q late hour. The programmes were unique
sffairs, representing pansy in full bloom,
and we're much admired. In fact, the en-
tire occasion was complete in all Its de-
tails and the management-more particu-
larry Mr. Harry c. Moore, f. b, Morris
and s. s. Sherman-have reason to con-
graduate themselves.
