The Lloyd's opera house Friday YVES
The scene OF pleasant entertainment.
given by the pupils of St. Johns acad-
emy. The house was we'll filled by friends
| and parents of the children, and large
number we're attracted by the general
merits OF the performances which have
been given heretofore under the auspices
Of the Sisters in charge of the school.
All who attended we're delighted with
the entertainment. which had the double
merit of being sufficiently lengthy,
yet with each number complete and we'll
rendered.
The program for the evening opened
with serenade, by the whole school, as
sisted by four mandollns, three guitars,
two violins and piano. Miss B. Gross
recited 'The Welsh Classic" a humorous
selection, in a very clear voice with dis
tinct enunciation. I'll Trovatore'' was
we'll rendered by violins in the hands Of
two young girls, the Misses L. Bill and
K. Burke. The former has pleased her
hearers before, with her instrument, and
both are apt pupils of much promise.
Mrs. E. j. Schwellenbach sung a solo,
my Lover Will Come Today" accom-
panied on the piano by Mrs. Frederick
Klapp. Master John Fox, with the self
possession of an old speaker, recited the
dialectic tale of "The One Legged
Goose in fine style. He was loudly en-
cored and smilingly came before the au-
dience and bowed his acknowledgements.
One OF the prettiest parts Of the pro-
gram was 'The Nations" honoring ''Col-
umbis.' Misses NJ Connolly, A. Riggs,
A. Flanagan and E. Nicholson. represent
ing Germany, wore black skirts, with
white waists, and carried the German
flag. Scotland was represented by Misses
X. Burke, F. Getchel, NJ. Virgo and A..
True, dressed in Scotch plaid and bearing
aloft the nations emblem, while the
Misses NJ. Martin, A. Galllpo, B. Gross
and $. Fuld, were dressed in light yel-
low, and represented France. English
lassies represented by Misses E. Wins
low, A. Dr,scoll, J. Smith and E. Flint,
wearing blue skirts, red waists and white
ssshes, entered the stage next, followed
closely by four Spanish bellies, dressed
in red and white-the Misses r. Fari-
bault, L. Schirhart, A. Driscoll and G.
Wisniewski. The Misses G. Flynn, A.
Ray, F. Daley and N. Rose, ae they came
tripping in. dressed in light green, rep
resenting Ireland, were loundly ap-
plauded, as was also Miss Agnes Wall
Columbia-dressed in red skirt with
white and black waist, bearing proudly
aloft the stars and stripes. As she re-
cited the Flag of the Rainbow" tho ma
tions knelt 10 honor and saluted with the
national emblems which they carried.
The effect was very happy, particularly
as the scene ended with colored lights
thrown on the group.
Miss Lena BelIivou's solo, "The Re
turn" with violin obligato by Miss Lucy
Bill, received hearty encore. Master
Willie Hayes recited "Morning on the
Irish Coast" with good effect. and show
ing careful training La Sevillana, by
Misses NJ. Proctor, J. Smith, f. Gieseler,
A. Ray, NJ. Hambly, A. Schmutzler, X.
Tilden. K. Burke, l.. Bill and B. Burke,
with mandolin, guitar, violin and piano
accompaniment, received q hearty encore.
The pathetic recitation, "The Song OF
the Market Place" by Miss Grace Flynn,
followed. Mrs. E. j. Schwellenbach
sang the old yet ever sweet kathleen
Mavourneen," for which she received a
deserved encore. The program closed
with the stirring old hymn, "'The Red,
White and Blue" The jamestown
orchestra rendered four popular selec-
tions during the evening. The entire
entertainment was great success and
was a credit to the teachers and pupils
Of the academy.
Financially the entertainment was a
success a. we'll as otherwise.
