An enjoyable feature of the evening
was a recitation by Mrs. Churchill en-
titled, MY Sister and l." The selection
IS the story of a Young girl driven to in
sanity by the accidental killing of her
sister. Mrs. Churchill's portrayal of the
character of the insane girl, the most
difficult within the range of dramatic et
fort, was strikingly beautiful in its
strength and realism. Her costume was
artistic and the recitation in its rendition
was beyond the efforts often made by
professionals and convinced those present
chat Mrs. Churchill possesses dramatic
genius OF a superior order.
