Inc entertainment on 1hur6Qay
evening was q marked success in
point Of attendance and renderings.
It was one Of the most notable af-
fairs that has ever taken place in
Ketchum. The hall was we'll filled
by a large and appreciative audi
ence. The decorations were simple
yet most tasteful. The choice mu-
sic rendered deserves much COM
pliment but for want Of space we
can only give brief and general
mention.
The Ketchum orchestra furnished
delightful music for the entertain
ment, also for the dance. The vocal
selections by Mrs. w. H. Grcenhow,
Mrs. C. NJ. Stole, Miss Nora Griffin,
Messrs. Geo. J. Lewis and Robert
H. Warren were most artistically
rendered, Mrs. Stole accompany
ing on the piano in her usually fin-
ished style. The piano and violin
Duet by Miss Kate Messerly and
Mr.. Al Cleur was we'll rendered. The
Crook Brigade Drill by the young
ladies, with Miss Pilliner as drill
officer, was a beautiful sight. The
girls looked bewitching in their
jaunty costumes. The recitation
by Mrs. H. G. Lewis was given in
an admirable manner. Her voice
is a model Of distinctness. In the
role of Reverend Father she was
certainly incognito. Mrs. Laura C.
fuckers recitation of 1.-The Impris-
oned Wife," was a choice bit of real
dramatic ability, that was certainly
up to the requirements of the SUBJ
ject, and received with universal at
tention and pleasure. Mrs. fuckers
appearance before the Ketchum
public in this role is an evidence
that we have notexhausted the local
resources of real dramatic talent.
Mr.. G.. NJ. Stole was we'll gotten up
as "Jailer" and looked every inch
the accomplished villain in the
scene of the Imprisoned Wife. "
heTableau Vivant Of the Painters
Studio was a beautiful and highly
artistic one and reflected much
credit upon Mrs. w. II. Greenhow.
who assisted the committee in the
management Of the tableau. The
personnel were: Mr.. Geo. J. Lewis,
artist; Miss Georgia Pilliner, mod
ell; Statues-Miss Leona Griffin,
"Calatea ;" Miss Esther Richie,
..Hebe, the Goddess of Youth and
Beauty; Miss Nora Griffin, 1.-THE
Goddess of Liberty" little Nan
Greenhow, as Psyche, and little
Jack Lewis as Cupid" looked
sweetly exquisite standing on the
pedestal with their arms clasped in
cunning embrace. They were the
perfect embodiment of the little
god and goddess, which they rep
resented. Mrs. III. G. Lewis posed
as the painting Before the Ball )"
Miss Kate Messerly as Ruth" Mr..
Lewis looked irresistible as the art
list gazing into the soul-lit eyes of
his fair model. The Tableau Vi
want of 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket"
accompanied with the music of the
time honored song, was very
pleasing and natural one. Miss
l'illiner, posing at the well with her
pitcher and jaunty rustic dress, and
Sterling Tucker in the act of draw
ing water, with the love light in his
eyes, made a charming picture.
Mrs. Nlilt Mourning appeared in
the background in a reckoning at
titude. Mr.. +. K Gillette gave an
enjoyable reading. After an over
ture by the band, the performance
closed and the floor was cleared for
dancing. The refreshment tables
looked beautiful and the refresh
ments most daintily and delicious.
The ladies in charge of the booths
deserve much praise for their labors
in etfecting a success Of their part
Of the entertainment. Thanks are
due Mr.. II. Greenhow for his eff
cient services as curtain director
and to Mr.. w. II. Goehring for the
use of the hall and experimenting
the stage lights.
