of Miss Mary Grier as Musical Direc'
tress. The program consisted of music
tableaux, and Rotations, and reflected
much credit upon all concerned. The
opening tableau, the Pyramid of Beauty,
was participated in by the small people
of the town and off remarkably
well especially as with most of the "tots''
it was "a first appearance. All the
mamas concerned had a right to feel
quite proud both of the appearance.ana
behavior of their darlings. The fore
most figure in the picture was Cupid
armed with his bow and aiming at the
most elevated m tiniest girl OF the lot.
Music was next ia order and Miss Har-
ris n Miss McCaslan rendered a vocal
duct with much sweetness and power.
The tableaux, Filtration, In Love, Mar
riage, and Vexation followed and were all
particularly deserving of mention. In
the first scene, Miss Ida Fuller and Billy
Ball, both appeared to take kindly to
their role. In tho next, Love, Dorroh
ferguson was revealed, placing a dia-
mond, which undoubtedly bore the
stamp of Tiffany, upon the finger of Miss
Lydie Irby. Scene number three was
Married-the honeymoon too presume
bly,, in which Miss Mary Garrett and
Claude Garrett participated. Tabloau
the fourth was VeXation in which Miss
Nan McCaslan and o.. w. Garrett posed
very successfully as the injured young
wife and sardonic husband. From time
to time "The Boys" (Boyeson Myers,
Koppel) as the program sty led them,
delighted the audience with a sue
cossion Of songs, many of them
comic, and all good to listen TO in every
way. Tho Tableau of the evening was
Esther before King Ahasuerus, in which
Miss Frierson appeared in the character
of the Jewish Maiden and DIR. 81. X.
Aiken as tho Eastern Potentate. 1t is
needless to say that with so much natur-
al grace and beauty Miss Frierson could
only have performed her part we'll. One
of the great attractions Of the occasion
was h Rotations Of Miss Garrett.
With much talent n good training to
aid her she rendered The First Settlers
Story exceedingly we'll, bringing out all
it's strong pathos as only a true elocu-
ZIONIST can but it was in a familiar and
very popular selection, Daisy's Faith,
the rendition of which is well suited to
her natural grace and ease of manner,
that she especially charmed her audi
ence. "Home to our Mountains a yo-
cal duct by Mrs, Aiken and Miss Nc
Caslan and "Tell Me With Your Eyes,"
a vocal solo by Miss McCaslan, were the
most enjoyable features of the affair in
a musical way. Mrs. Aiken has a rich
contralto which harmonizes we'll with
Miss McCaslan's fine soprano. To men-
ton with commendation all those who
deserved it and to do justice to the real
ly beautiful effects attained to would be
a task that space and time would not
allow of. To sum up in general then, it
may be said, that everybody looked we'll
and did well, and indeed that we have
no cause to DO anything but proud of
u Home Talent.
