The lateness of the hour at which the
performance was concluded and the num-
mentioning and yet The Statesman takes
pleasure in saying that were time to per-
nit the dictation of enthusiasm and ap-
probation to govern its action that a
personal eulogium should be accorded
each and every one in that the blending
of the whole might bring more promi-
nently to the front the eulogium of per-
Torrance that for amateurs has never
had an equal in this city.
There was not one tireSome moment in
the entire time consumed by the per-
Torrance, which was something over
three hours in length. On the contrary,
the hours sped all too swiftly for those
who were enjoying to the limit one OF the
best performances imaginable.
Between the first and second acts sew
eral figures from the Kirmess were danced
by hundred or more children, and each
dance was executed i'll excellent style.
In this connection special mention must
be given little Miss Bessie Moore for Il
beautifully executed skirt dance and
little Miss Zula Nash for one of the
cutest little song and dance acts i'm
aginable. so exceedingly clever was she
that the WILDLY enthusiastic audience
