MISS RUSSELL.
BooNvILLE, Mo-, Nov. 15-Correspond-
ent.-The entertainment last night at the
Thespian hall, of Miss Minnie L. Russell
was, without exception, the finest Of Its
kind that we have ever seen in BoOnville.
This charming elOcutionist wss greeted by
large and appreciative audience, the hall
being filled with our best people. Twice
encored, she at all times, delighted her
hearers by her or ceful rendition and pleas
ing impersouation of The different charac-
tiers she assumed. The evenings program
included the following selections: ''Sister
and |, Aunt Jemima's Courtship, The
BoboIink, Her Letie, Charlie Machnee,
Entertaining Her Big Sisters Beau, Ode 10
the Passions, Brother Watkins, Charcoal
and the Naughty Little Girl" When all
were rendered SO we'll ii is difficult 10
choose from them. Perhaps Charlie
Machnee was nearer perfect in its dramatic
rendering, though The Naughty Little
Girl" was so cute as to receive the most en-
thusiastic applause. That Miss Russell
was wonderfully cultured In her art, her
recitstion of Collins Ode TO the Passions"
demonstrated and that she has deep ard
true insight into human character, was
proven by her portrayal of AUNT Jemima
and Brother Watkirs.'. The stock of ad.
jectives In the English lauguage-exten-
sive as it isis almost exhausted in writ
ing of the entertainment and the eloculion-
Isl alike. She csptivated her audience and
charmed her hearers. The music of the
evening as given by Maj. III. NJ. Clark and
pr,f A vhnr
pliment than TO say it WIS abundantly
sustained by these gentlemen's high repu
tation.
