: musical and elocutionary entertain.
ment BY the Swedish Quartet and
Miss Webb and Miss Shoemaker.
The Quartett was good. The ladies
were hard to equal. Miss Shoemak-
er's elocutionary deliverances we're of
the kind that requires every limb of
body and muscle of face to talk or
give expression. She talked not only
with her mouth, but with her whole
body, and every oral expression and
every facial expression and every ex-
preston OF body proved the rigid
training to which she hsd been sub.
lect- She captivated her audience.
They were spell-bound by her
delineation OF character. In her
elocutionary deliverances. she fol
lows the French Delsartian elocu.
tionary system of talking all over.
Dslsarte taught that every thought of
the mind and every feeling OF the
heart can be expressed By The mus
cles OF the face ana by ths action of
body, and he laid down system of
rules by which his system of elocu-
ton may be taught. It would be
sight to witness whole institute go
through the bodily expression of love,
hate, jealousy, joy, sorrow, e1ultation
and so forth az laid down by Dalsarte.
