Church executed in fine style on the
piano, the very difficult piece of mu-
sic, "The Chimes of St. Paul." and
was applauded. Mrs. Church is
very fine performer on the piano. |
Gives the notes graceful, truly artis-
tic touch that is seldom equalled, and
brings out the sentiment of whatever
she plays with striking effect. The
drama, entitled 'sThe Last Loaf" had
fine plot, and is full ofinterest from
first to last. The cast could not have
been better. The parts assigned the
several performers were cast so as to
just suit the peculiar adaptability of
each to the character assumed. All
did well, and considering the short
time they had to commit their parts
and the very few rehearsals that were
had, we might, without exaggeration,
say remarkably well. TITS almost the
unanimous expression of the audience
that the performance was the best
ever given here by home talent, and
was far ahead of the average travel
ing troups that come &along-those
dollaraticket shows. John w. Reel

This was Miss Carries
first appearance before the footlights,
and she acted the character splendid
ly, and with the easy grace and nat
uralness of professional. Her sor-
row at the downfall of her father and
Of the family, and the love
scene with Harry Hanson, were so
natural as to seem like a reality.
Patty Jones, Yankee girl, whose |
love oscillated between Dick Bustle |
and Tom Chubbs and was finally an
chored permanently in the heart OF
Bustle, was acted admirably by Mrs.
S. c. Silsby. The love-making IN
which these three had hand was of
the merry order, and Mrs. Silsby, as
well as John Barry and Julius Mautz,
respectively as Dick Bustle, and Tom
Chubbs, entered right into the true
spirit Of the character and frequently
brought down the house.
Between the drama and farce Miss
Carrie Bradford, one of Mrs. Church's
music pupils, played with fine execu-
ton on the piano, "The Storm" and
received applause. Mrs Church also
executed piece in fine style.
The farce entitled "The Sleeping
Carr was a regular side-shaker and {
lively one of the sendemthroughfron
