AlspENDID EVENT.
The First Entertainment of the
Scott Dramatic Association
a Decided Success.

The people of our neighbor Scott,
some time since, organized a dram
attic club and at once put into re-
hearsal French play, which was
presented last Saturday to a large
and appreciative audience, number
ing, at low estimate, $50 persons.
The play was most admirably
carried out in all its demands; the
parts were we'll sustained; and some
of the cast showed fine dramatic tall
ent for amateurs, SO much SO that it
would be invidious to particularize.
Before the raising of the curtain
Julian Mouton, president of the
School Board, was espied in the au
dience, and was called upon for an
| address. Mr.. Mouton responded
and made some remarks thanking
the Scott Dramatic Club for their
kindness in rendering the profits
of the entertainment to the Lafa-
yette High School. and incidentally
spoke on the importance of educa-
ton to the masses. Though brief,
his remarks were P>>opos, and
evoked appreciation as attested by
the liberal applause given.
The rising of the curtain pre-
sented the prelude and disclosed
some twenty persons grouped in
manner pleasing to the eye, and
they rendered the opening chorus
very effectively.
Then followed ella Rose jaime"
a very prettily worded comedy, with
just plot enough to make it interest
ing. AS we said before, this play
was we'll rendered. Below is the
cast in full:
MIR. Randeul. Ned Mouton.
Tester. ........... 49,. Simon Boudreaux.
Mr.. Simar .Chas. A. Bo,rlreaux.
Gros- Pierre Louis Dubernard.
Nine. simar. :.... Nellie: Adele Delhomme
Francine. ..... ..... Aurore Dubernard.
. Following the dramatic piece,
Mr.. H. Van der Cruyssen favored
the audience with a French song,
which was we'll received, Miss
Louise Bendel playing the accom-
paniment.
Upon request, Miss Emma Falk,
the gifted daughter of our fellow
townman, Mr.. B. Falk, appeared
on the stage and her appearance
elected applause of the most cheer
ing and unanimous description.
She sang in a bewitching, melodious
voice, "He Told Me So" At its
conclusion, a burst of applause re-
sounded and was prolonged until
Miss Falk was compelled to respond
to an encore-in this she excited
the admiration of the audience.
She possesses not only fine voice
and sings exquisitely, but has
marked histrionic powers.
Then followed ball, the music
of which was furnished by the we'll
known Landry String Band.
The public interested, but more
particularly the people of Lafayette,
owe grateful thanks to the Scott
Dramatic Club for their kindness
in donating the proceeds of this en-
tertainment to the High School
Fund. 1t evinces such unselfsh-
ness that it is all the more to be ap-
preciated. The Gazette takes the
liberty to extend the warmest thanks
of the people of the town of Lafa-
yette to this most worthy and ex-
cellent organization.
The net proceeds amounted to
the handsome sum of S6o75

HAMPTON, June 21.-We would add
wise those who anticipate attending
the Worlds fair not to engage board
or lodging until after they arrive in
Chicago. A much better rate can be
obtained in the homes of private fam
lilies than at any of the hotels. No
one need stay away from the fair
thinking that they will have to pay
an exorbitant price for lodging,
which is not so if they will only take
the pains to look around before en-
gaging. Meals can also be had at
reasonable prices outside of the fair
grounds.
