Masonic HALL CROWDED.

I A Warm Greeting Extended to Miss
/ Sadie Jacoby at Her Benefit Enter
tainment.
There has perhaps never been a time in
/ the history Of the Masonic hall when its
/ capacity was taxed to such an extent as it
was last night on the occasion of the
benefit entertainment rendered by the
Young Mems Hebrew Association to Miss
/ Sadie Jacoby, the child elocutionist. All
the seats were taken nearly half an hour
before the programme began, the gallery
was filled to Overlooking, and people were
standing on every side. Those who had
charge of the tickets say there were over
800 people in the hall. And the number of
those who were interested in and enter
tanned by the selections presented from
start to finish was not less.
Miss Sadie's recitations were of course
the feature Of the evening, but there was
really no number on the programme that
was not entertaining The first selection
was an overture, "Orpheus" by Ofenbach,
played by the orchestra, followed by a
plano recital by Miss Minnie Morris. Her
selection was well rendered and she had to
respond again to the calls of the audience.
Miss Jacoby's first recitation was the
Mlnuet,' and in response to an encore
she recited The boy that wanted the
Moon" All Of her recitations were in cos
tune which added much to the effect Her
second selection was scene I. act ". from
King John in which she took the part of
Prince Arthur, with Mr. II. w Witcover
as Hubert, and Messrs. Edwin Ep-
stein and L. H Haym as ex-
ecutoners. She was ably as
sisted in the rendition of this scene by
these gentlemen.
In her portrayal of the part of the young
prince she exhibited remarkable power
of pathos, and wonderful dTs matte tai
ent for child of seven years. There We're
repeated calls for her to appear, from the
audience. She acknowledged them very
gracefully but was finally com
PEELED to recite again after
this scene. In doing so she
showed what a power Of versatility she
possesses recittng Arethusa's beau" q
decidedly humorous and laughable selec-
ton which stood in marked contrast to
her part of few minutes before as
Prince Arthur.
Her last selection was Poor Little
Joe'- recitation filled with pathos, and
in which she appeared in costume car
rylng bootblackS box, on which was
in large letters Sadie" As an encore
she recited THE Bowery Bootblack," an
other humorous selection. Her talent is
natural one, but it is being developed
artistically by the best teachers in New
York. She has the qualities that prom
Use to make her an exceptional actress
natural dramatic talent, power of emo
tional expression, versatility and a won
derful memory. She has over forty selec-
lions in her repertoire, and she never
forgets them. At the conclusion of the
entertainment she was widely congratu-
lated, and her praises were spoken by
everyone, present.
A vocal solo, The Night Birds Cooling"
was very prettily rendered by Miss Hattie
Schwab, and when called again before the
footlights she sang "Au Revoir" with
much grace and expression. A very pretty
and attractive selection was the mandolin
solo, the washington Post March, -! by
Miss Ida Frtdenberg, accompanied by
Mrs. Marcus and Mr.. Grouse. They were
warmly encored.
Mrs. L. Haynes voleal solo, Charlie
Machree," by Dow, was one of the gems
of the evening. Her voice was clear and
| expressive, and the charming manner in
which she rendered the song called forth
much applause. She sang as an encore
| Coming Thro the Rye" The pro
! gramme was concluded with an admirable
| selection by the orchestra, after which
| there was dancing and refreshments were
| served.
