takes much confidence for amateurs to
attempt opera, but then Wadsworth not
only attempts but succeeds. This being
a busy day for the writer, he has not
time to deal other than generally with
the performance. The young people are
to be congratulated in having committed
such long parts SO well.
Roy Lewis was coplplimented for the
hearty way in which he took hold.
Mrs. Tom Cleary is a sweet singer and
people like to hear her.
Fred Geogg is always a favorite and
this performance was no exception.
Miss Pearl Pike presents a fine stage
appearance and her voice is pleasing.
Miss Nellie Clay has a remarkably
clear voice, a qualification to be desired,
and when she and Miss May Clay sing
together it is a treat.
j. Miller and sister have both very
nice voices and act we'll.
Miss Maud F~elldagle's dress as an old
maid was true to life.
f. G. Hummel and J. Miller's Chinese
song was lively and attractive.
Harry Owen is at home on the Stage
and has that easy, natural manner
which amateurs seldom possess.
Fred Washeim's actions caused much
laughter and that was what he was for.
The music was lively and enjoyable.
Miss Madden's Juvenile vocal class
sang very sweetly and were rewarded
with an encore. We do not know their
names other than Fannie Pike, Winnie
Ross, Matte Macomber and Ora Gill.
The management deserves a great
deal OF credit for its work. The opera
was a success and a little experience
would make the troupe a factor in our
social life. We would like to see them
try another.

A few years after the death OF her

and a minister OF the gospel. The
contents Of the letter were remarkable.
Il stated that Stephen Letton was IA

had made a death-bed confession, In
which he stated that he had murdered
a droyer In Kentucky. and had caused

Corn a. Fuet

The spectators on the Chicago board
