Dear Sir!
However much silence may be con
sidered golden" / cannot but break it in this
instance and through the medium of your use
full little Daily say q word or two Of the
Tableaux entertainment just given at St.John's
Schoolroom.
Not that would extend any unmerited praise,
but simply render unto every man his due
The scenes, about ten in number, were 50
ta%slefully got up that | deem it needless to en-
ter into details, as they all proved to be very
interesting, aud worth seeing and may with all
propriety BIZ pronounced 70 have been good,
especially so, when we take into considera-
ton the short period IF time which was devot-
cd to the preparation of such an arduous I'M
dertaking.
When about a fortnight ago the intention
of having this entertainment was made known,
many a voice was heard to say impo88ibJei
and the word failure could be heard from the
lips Of not "A few modern seers. (?)
But forsoothl Is not the saying true, that
where there's a will there's a way
And with persistency and e%xertion what
may not be attained?
And how great must have been the disap-
pointment of many us the uplifting curtain
exhibited such pictures as Taking the black
veil,' "Rock Of Ages" The Three Graces,'
The Gipsy's Warming, The Artists Dream"
and "Oourtship,' in the last Of which the five
year old daughter of the Rector and little Lily,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand Jacobs,
stood their parts surprisingly we'll.
Nor could | do justice without mentioning
the we'll rendered piano solos, by MissH. Rengger
and her pupil Master Eldred Jacobsen, also
the singing, which took place at intervals
preceding the different displays, which was
on the whole fairly good.
At the conclusion of the programme the Rec
tor, Revd. Gunner, announced to a large and
appreciatIve audience, including some of the
most respectable inhabitants Of the island, his
regret at not having received the lights which
were specially ordered but that he hoped to
receive chem the next day and would there
fore give the public the benefit Of a repetition
sn the following evening at half prices.
Accordingly on the next night the lights
&C., in the schoolroom notified to any one ap-
preaching that everything was in readiness.
AT 8 pm. sharp, the curtain again commence
ed q series Of up and down movements I'M
yelling the fine representations of the proceed
ing evening.
Notwithstanding the already mentioned
large audience of the night before, the at
tendance was by no means bad, and the
cream of the fun was really lost to those
who did not attend, for while the superior
lights brought out the pictures more wildly,
there was q marked improvement of the sing
ing which called forth loud applause, especial
ly so, that of Master Chas. Lang, whose clear
tenor voice promises to make him a songster
of no mean repute, and whose songs were
several times encored while the comic cha
racter songs of Mr.. Jne. Richardson simply
brought down the house with laughter.
Nor should | omit to mention the soft and
oreditable singing of Mrs. GUNNER, as well
as Messrs. Motta and jackson, their strong
b aritone and bass voices enabling them to
sustain well their parts, especially IN the duet
between the first named songster and Miss
Mcintosh, whose soprano proved itself to pos
sess no small amount of melody.
In conclusion beg to offer to the Revd. Mr..
Gum mer and his consort, all congratulations
on the SUCCESS of this their first undertaking
of this nature among US, and would to the
