. To say that the entire program
was excellently rendered is but
faint praise. as the histrionic talent
displayed at Montgomery theatri-
Gals is a matter of celebrity through
out central Louisiana, and nothing
but perfection is expected at their
entertainments. We have not time
nor space to make particular men,
ton, but trust the older actors will
pardon us for making an exception
in the case of the 7-year-old tot,
Essie Glare Fortson, who sang
about writing letter to papa in
such clear, ringing tones, and con-
fiding childish innocence, that every
daddy in the audience felt like get
ting up and kissing the little dar-
ling. Her voice and her control Of
it is truly remarkable, and may one
day bring her wealth and fame.
The proceeds of the night
amounted to $38 Is, and we under
stand that about $50 were realized
from the sale of ice cream and lem
onade during the day. After pay
ing all expenses, the management
figure that they will have some
thing over 500 to pay on their
piano, and altogether have good
cause to congratulate themselves
on the profit as we'll as the pleasure
afforded by their festival day.
