Last week we gave a casual notice of
the entertainment at the Academy of
Music on the evening of May goth, in
behalf of the M. f. Church of this
place. Owing to lack of space we
were compelled to defer our comments
until this issue. The entertainment
was given for the purpose of raising
funds to pay the interest on the debt
with which the church property here
is encountered. When the audience
assembled it anticipated the usual ex-
ercises common to such occasions, and
was in a humor to be pleased with
whatever was offered, without being
too critical; but as the programme was
proceeded with, it became evident that
the entertainment was very much more
meritorous than had been expected,
and that the people in attendance were
getting value received for their money.
The programme was as follows:
Song-"Arise, Go Forth and Conquer
Graniteville Choir.
Quartette-"The Harvest is Past" Mr..
and Mrs. Warrington, Mr.. Waldram
and Miss Annie Waldram.
Recitation-''How Sockery Set the Hen"
Mr.. Fred Oesterle.
Quartette-"The Lost Landmark"
Dialogue-"Arabella's Poor Relations
Misses Ora Graham and Maud Fergu-
son, and Messrs. John Tollson and
Arthur Crews.
Recitation-"The Ride of Jenny McNeil''
w Miss Lulu Oesterle.
Characterization Shalt Keep Him in Per-
feet Peace
Rectation-''The Raven"..... Mrs. Matte
Walsh.
Dialogue-''M Meeting of the Gumtown Wo-
and Vida Fitzpatrick, Bertha Shifferly,
Maud Ferguson, Hattie Crews, Minnie
Trauerncht, and Messrs. Harry Baum
and Ollie Tollison.
Song-"God's Anvil" -... Graniteville Choir.
The singing of the Graniteville choir
was excellent, and the quartette con-
sisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Warrington,
Mr.. Waldram and daughter miss
Annie), furnished vocal music of the
highest character. The recitation by
Mr.. Fred Oesterle, ssHow Sockery Set
the Hen," was well received. The
dialogue entitled 'sArabella's Poor Re-
lations," rendered by Misses Ora Ora
ham and Maud Ferguson, and Messrs.
John Tollison and Arthur Crews, was
above the average. Also, the recita-
ton, entitled 1.-The ride of Jennie Nc
Neil,n by Miss Lulu Oesterle was very
fine Mrs. Walsh's recitation, ''The
Raven was given with fine effect |
The audience was so taken with her
elocution that she was encored, when
she responded by rendering "The Out
cast and the Judge" which was equal |
ly we'll received. Mrs. Walsh is a
lady of fine literary attachments, as
the columns of the REGISTER bear wit
ness. The part taken by her in the
entertainment contributed greatly to
its success. A dialogue entitled, 1.-The |
Gumtown Woman's Association" par
ticipated in by some half-dozen par
ties, was not the least interesting part |
of the programme. One pleasant |
feature of the evening was the fact |
that members of several denominations |
were interested in helping our Metho-
dist brethren The fund raised |
amounted to $25. The Strawberries
and ice cream were up-to-date. The |
