A conference was held last even ing at
the Memorial building between the build
ing committee and the school committee
for the purpose of ascertaining of the
school committee what was needed to
facilitate their wants as regards q school,
house. The school committee informed
them that they had 400 scholars
and hoped to have building built with
rooms enough so as to enable them to
remove from these little school houses as
many as they possibly could. II they
could build a school house with eight
rooms 1t would be very gratifying to them
and If they could not, II they gave them
seven rooms 1t would suffice from the fact
they were bound to keep within the APP
preparation.

and elected Edward Talbee to the janitor-
ship of the Byfield School building, to fill
the place OF Mr.. Michael Hammill, de-

Trowbridge's Star Theater.

Realism, ,meiodrama, spectacular scenery,
prevail at Trowbridge's this week. Blood
tingling dialogue, picturesque situations
and thrilling tableaux are the conse-
oucrcc. The "Diamono Breaker" is
the bill and the capable stock
company interpret its scenes, while
Miss Starr, the vocalist and dancer, and
Charles Phillips, who sings and mono-
logues the audience, relieve the thrill with
their specialties. The motive of the
"Diamond Breaker" produces n scene
where the hero, Walter Warren, portrayed
by Mr.. Lester Lonergan, already popu-
lar favorite. Is thrown unconscious down
a chute leading TO the coal breaker, and
Is rescued by the heroine, Rexina Alden,
impersonated by Etelka Wardell, an
effective actress in such roles, Just in
time TO save him from being crunched to
death between the teeth of the breaker,
which IL shown in full action
on the stage. The heroine herself
is also shown incarcerated in an
insane asylum, Bertram sackett, portrayed
by that severely conscientious imper-
senator OF villany, Dir. J. Francis
Kirke, being responsible for all the
trouble.
IL Is good show and will doubtless
enthral large audiences at the pretty
thester for the balance OF the week.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-04-23

The Ladies' Club opened a weeks en-
yesterday and were greeted by large
audiences. The company is made up OF a
dozen or more pretty and well formed
young women and number OF capable
comedians. One OF the pleasing features
of the program was the Manhattan Conn
edy Four, whose singing was thoroughly
enjoyed and they were obliged to answer
to n number OF recalls. The program began
with satire on theatrical life, entitled,
"green room gossip" In the olio are
McCade and Emmett in songs and dances
and athletic sports which are very
clever; Maria Armstrong and Alice
Lanner, in number of vocal
selections Fisher and Carroll,
Irish comedians that will compare favor
ably with any in their line; Irene Wilson,
a pleasing vocalist; Daley and Hilton
in a comedy sketch; Leoni and Everett,
in character songs and sayings, and the
Manhattan Comedy Four. During the
run of the program several
living pictures were presented,
in a very artistic manner, a number Of
them being represented in bronze by Miss
Lottie Hill, who was recently connected
with the New York Casino in O similar
role.
The show concludes with burlesque
entitled "In Old Kentucky" in which
Marie Armstrong assumes the leading
part and Is assisted by the entire COM
pany. The same program will be present.

Some exceptionally good features are In
the big variety bill at Keith's this week,
some familiar old faces are behind the
footlights and some new faces that are
decidedly welcome to the local vaude-
Vile stage. A clean variety show
is always enjoyable and at this time OF the
season, especially, makes the best kind OF
entertainment. The artists at Keith's are
assem- bled from all parts of the world bv
Mr.. Keith's personal selection, and the
program offers q varied appeal for genuine
laughter, each part being notably distinct
in its character from its fellows though a
few of them are inclined to be dull, and
the bill as a whole suffers somew hat
from being too long for continuous en-
tertainment, misfortune, however,
that is chiefly due to the recalls TO which
the chief favorites are compelled to re-
spond.

"Charley's Aunt entertained a sizable
audience in the Providence Opera House
last evening. 1t is one OF those farces
that almost play themselves because the
situations are so ridiculously funny and
the complications so absurd. The
farce has been seen in this
city before and by better
company than was employed last evening,
consequently the performance was trifie
disappointing TO those who had seen it
before. Those who saw 1t for
the first time, however, enjoyed it
and laughed continually at the
antics of the young men, and especially
the one that impersonated the rich aunt
from Brazil. "Charley's Aunt" gives a
good insight into college boys pranks,
and its fun is SO broad and mirth-
provoking that it is no wonder the play
hes had such phenomenal success. A
visit to the Providence Opera House will
prove sure cure for the blues. "Cbarley's
Aunt" will remain in this city all the
week

by two splendid fern palms standing in

The floral bell was Of open work and

all the windows seemed to be set in solid

at the head Of the procession, followed by
the bridesmaids in couples. The order i'll
which the bridesmaids went to the altar was
as follows: Miss Katharine Duer. Miss Elsa

foundation was oyster shell tinted satin,

skirts fared according to the proper and ac-

sash ends Of blue ribbon. The bodices were
of the same shimmering material as the

The heads of the young ladies were covered
with broad brimmed hats. These were OF

He set out to find the garden. and implore
The angel sentinel to let him have one leaf.
The angel asked the boy II he could promise
that his sister should never be sick any more
If his request were granted. and that she
should never be unhappy, nor do wrong, nor be
cold or hungry, nor be treated harshly. The
boy said he could not promise. Then the
angel opened the gate little way, bidding
the child to look into the garden for mo-
ment. to have one glimpse OF the garden.

child looked in. and, after seeing all the won

to the angel, II will not ask for the leaf now.
