Home ralent on the BOARDS.

The musical, literary and dramatic enter
tainment given at Odd Fellows Hall, West
minister, on Friday evening of last week
drew large audience and was quite success.
When it is considered that only home talent
was employed, it was a great success. The
Westminster Band rendered several excellent
pieces with fine effect, and the clarinet and
baritone solos were most admirably played by
Mr.. George Morelock, on the clarinet, and
Mr.. Samuel Stone, on the baritone. The
vocal solos of Miss Shriver and Miss Keen
and Mr.. Gehr Smith, were heartily applauded,
while Miss jamie Thomas and Mr.. Edwin r..
Manning in their recitations showed they pos.
sessed the elocutionist's art to a high degree.
In the farce. 'Bardell vs. Pickwick. Mr..
Edwin H. Manning as Sergeant Buzfuz play
ed the role most excellently. Mr. Clarence
Wickert made quite hit as Mr.. Wrinkle, and
Miss Mary B. Shellman played Mrs. Cluppins
admirably. Mr.. Gehr Smith. as Judge Star
leigh, acted his part well. The other char
acters had minor parts, but all did well, and
the farce was admirably presented.
The entertainment evinced the fact that
there is considerable musical, literary and
dramatic talent in this city, and musical,
literary and dramatic society should be or,
ganized TO further cultivate and develop it.
