HON. B. z. BRUCE.

Hon. B. K. Bruce returned to
the city few days ago crowned
with laurels. He has made a sue
cessful fight for which he received
the plaudits of the colored race.
He was successful in defeating the
trick that was put up to defeat
HIM and his delegation from Mis-,
sisslppi, He was successful in ell
ecting a solid delegation, for
whom they will vote we are unable
to say. We are assured of this
fact that the solid delegation will
support him for vice president OF
the United States. We are emit
tied to it and should demand it.
Mr.. Bruce is the man for the posi-
ton. He is an honor to his peo-
pie and the position which he
holds to day as Register of the
United States Treasury.
We shall publish two weeks
from now, a pen sketch and por-
trait of Hon. Blanche K. Bruce,
of Mississippi, our choice for vice
president of the United States.

The address that appears in this
weeks issue of the BEE by Mr.. W.
Calvin Chase, was delivered be-
fore the Coloerd National Press
Convention, which met in this
city. The whole of the address
could not appear in this issue for
want of space. The position of
Mr. Chase on the mixed school
question is defined in this address.
We agree with him now as we
did then, that in states where
mixed schools tend to benefit the
people, it is we'll to have them.
The advocacy of mixed schools in
the South wonld only tend to re-
new bourbon opposition.
The South is not sufficiently
liberalized to advocate this ques-
ton. The Southern people will
bo satisfied for the present if they
are given sufficient number of
schools to educate the coloref
children separately.

The Nsw York World of Thurs

that the hightoned eolored people

Rev. A. NJ. Green, of Louisiana
introduced at the Baltimore Con-
ference, now ia session, resolu-
ton calling upon the colored peo-
pie to see that they are represent

This is step in the right direction

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

The concert of the Amateur
Glee Club at Lincoln Hall, sur
passed any that has been given in
this city for some time. The
choruses were well rendered ard
frequently applauded. Come where
the s'Lillies Bloom," the opening
chorus was sung well. "Com-
mitted to the Deep" by MIR. j. H..
Holmes was an improvement on
his former singing. Miss Amelia
L. 'Tilghman, carried of the laurels
Her singing and appearance on
the stage was natural and graceful.
There is one suggestion We desire
to make and that is, if Miss TiIgh-
man will make some new selec-
tions and keep up with the adj
vanced age i'll the musical art, she
would become one of the most
popular singers in the country.
While she sung we'll what she md
sing. her selections were too old.
We don't mean to detract from
the 1ady;s' singT' g, Because she
certainly is most polished artist.
Miss Agnes Smallwood, did not
do so we'll as heretofore. While
her selections were all good, she
fails to sing them with the desired
effect. We are Inclined to believe
that she Oyerestimates herself,
which undrubtly Will impede any
good singer. AT the conclusion
of her peices she made a false
bow, winch was very distastful to
the audience, OH last Friday eve
ming. The loop OF her dress on
the side was out of taste and de-
tracted great deal from her per-
sonal appearance. Madame Small
wood is a fine artist we don't
dispute, but there are many i'm
proyements that could be made.
Mr.. Charles Beal, has an ex-
cellent voice and will no doubt be |
a geod singer.
Mr.. Noble Harris should stand |
erect when he appears again.
His position on the stage showed |
embarrassment and awkwaadness
on his part.
MIR. Arthur z. Pluwer did not
sing loud enough to be heard.
His selection was good neverless.
Mr.. A. ]. Hall failed to make
his usual hit. He is fine singer
no one will dispute.
The Duet between Mr.. Hall,
aHd~Madame Smallwood might
have been improved. Mr.. James
Butler has an excellent bass voice,
but must learn how to keep from
laughing when he is singing in
choruses. We make this sugges-
ton to the whole club. Mr.. Rob
art Ford's solo entitled '-Once IN
the Golden Eventide." was an
Tie concert as a
whole was good. The manager
Mr.. Hamilton Tu'Icigh, Is entitled
TO a great deal of credit for his
effort in this direction.

THEY PLAY THE THING.


refined and enthusiastic audience
that assembled there on last Wed.
nesday evening to witness the
first appearance Of Miss Henrietta
V. Davis, Mr.. W. r. Davis, and
Mr.. Powhattan Beatty, in Macbeth,
Riehrad LII, and Ingomaar. Long
before the rising of the curtain the
people were eager for the perfor-
nance to begin to satisfy their
curiosity. The manager Mr.. Da-
Wis made the entertainment a f.
nancial success but it was dra-
matte failure.
There were some redeeming
features in the plays, but not suffi-
cleut to compliment the whole
performance as dramatic suc-
cess. Tie first piece was act I,
and scene V, and VII, and act II,
~scene, I. in Macbeth. Miss Davis
as Lady Macbeth was a failure.
<l1er reading no one will attempt
TO discount, but as an actress she
lacks harmony an her voice and
seemed TO disregard the fact that
too much declaimlng don't make
IAN actor Or actress. I'm the con-
spiricy, where Lady Macbeth in
stigates Macbeth to murder Dun
can. she failed to impress or to
demonstrate her great anxiety to
have Macbeth murder the King.
Her business was to look at Mac
beth and impress him and not
the audience. which was the fail
ure in all of her peices except
Parthenia, in Ingomar. Her great
desire was it seemed to show her
statue and declaim her part like a
school girl.
Mr.. Beatty, made hit in Mac
beth. He understood bis business
but he was not properly suppor-
ted. The next piece was an ex-
tract from Richard III. Mr.. w.
R. Davis, as Gloster, Mr.. Beatty as
King Henry VI, Miss Davis as
Lady Anne, and Mr.. w. II. H
Hart asl the Earl of Richmond.
The first scene Was in act |.
Glosters return, and on his way to
the apartment of Henry VI. Mr..
Davis, renditios of Gl' 'sters solilo-
guy was poor. His entrance on
the stage was uubecoming and
awkward. His pronunciation
was indistiuct, and his tragic
strides We're new and strange to
the stage In several instances he
cut his words and spoke the lines
too fast. Mr.. Beatty, as Henry,
VI, was good. The scene where
Gloster st;.bs Henry VI, was made
a farce of, MIR. Davis failed to steb
the old King but slightly struck
him on the right leg; the King
tell and died with not even the
of a stab. In the |
scene where Lady Anne is on her
way to Chertsy with the body of
her husband and is intercepted by |
Gloster showed a little improve
meut in the way of acting on the |
part of Mr.. aud Miss Davis. Miss
Davis was too harsh and decIama-
tory. The sword scene was per-
formed with effect and demonstra-
ted good acting.
Mr.. Hart, as the Earl of Rich
mond, assured all that he under
stood his part and will no doubt
make a fne dramatist. There
were but a few redeeming features
in the presentation of scenes from
this celebrated play. Mrs. Fannie
Ridgeway as Queen Elizabeth was
made ridiculous when she bowed |
herself from the presence of Clos
ter.
The entertainment concluded |
with act, III, and scene I, from In
gonlar the barbarian. Miss Davis
as Parthenia, was very well acted
and Mr.. Beatty as Ingomar was
well performed. The minor sup
porters to the different pieces
were poor and showed great awk-
