THE MT. ANGEL AMATEURS.
A good sized audience greeted the
Mount Angel college students at Reeds
opera house last Saturday the 10th in
slant. The bows had carefully re-
hearsed one of Moliere's comedies en-
titled "The Upstart" and rendered it |
with a vim and smoothness worthy of
professionals. The whole play was
most entertaining. Mr.. Jourdain, the |
main character, has accumulated |
wealth and wishes to put OH airs. For
that purpose he gathers around him a
music teacher, q dancing teacher, q
fencing master, q professor of philoso- |
ply; he gives banquets to counts and |
marquises and gives away diamonds
and money galore. Then he has q
ward whom he will marry to none but
a nobleman, but as love laughs at lock- |
smiths, the wards lover personates the
son of Turkeys sultan and so wins the
bride. On this splendid material is
built up comedy drama interspersed
with music which delighted those who
encouraged the Mt. Angel boys with
their presence last Saturday night.
The youthful actors were all In good
voice and hardly manifested any ner-
vousness. Their costumes were GER
tainly very rich indeed for amateurs.
The music was also very good and sus-
tanned the reputation which the Ben
edictines of Mt. Angel have acquired
as music teachers. Whether with
voice or with an instrument; whether
they played common ocarina, or
mandolin, banjo, guitar, violin or
a piano; whether in solos, quartets or
in full brass band, they rendered
their pieces with a techDism aud ac-
cent which showed that they depended
more on art than volume Of sound as is |
SO often the case. Taken all together
therefore, the whole performance re-
tlected great credit on the teachers and
students of the Mt. Angel college and
had 1t not been for the most extraor-
dInary storm that prevailed at the time,
