Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-12-20

The habitues of the theatre will recall
for many day to come the brilliant
evening of the past week when the Bos-
tonians presented that beautiful opera,
robin Hood" Operas may come and
operas may go, but it is only after the
Interpretation by such artists as we
heard the past week that the soul of the
composer is truly revealed. There are no
great climaXes in robin Hood" no
heavy situations, but every moment is en-
tertaining and the evening was full of de-
lightful, lingering memories. Sweeter
notes and more faultless have not been
heard here in a long time, and 1t was a
genuine pleasure to scan the brilliant au-
dience in their enjoyment of the musical
event of the season. The cleverneSS of
Birmingham audiences was never more
apparent than on this evening. 1t was
case of Greek meet Greek" an artistic
rendition on one side, and or the other an
artistic hearing.
Mr.. Henshaw, the clever comedian, de-
lighted a large audience on Thursday
evening. He is really too fine comedian
to resort to those extreme heights or
depths or something or other that are
down on the programme as specialties.
He could easily shift the specaltes on to
the other members of the cast Since we
must have specialties, why not give the
entire matter to that girl who imagined
she was looking like Yvette Guilbert. Mr..
Henshaw ought to appear in a high-class
comedy. He is very comical in his dress
suit. You laugh at him just as heartily
in the conventional attire as when he ap-
pears in the remarkable bizarre costume.
But you like him better in the dress suit.
AS for May Ten Brock, she is so free from
affectations that unless her name APP
peared in black type ON your programme
you would not think she was entrusted
with a very exacting role. But 1t Is her
extreme naturalness that is charming.
The entire dramatic world laments the
death of young Salvini, for he was great
ly beloved by the members of his profess
sion. He was known among his intimate
friends as "Sandra," a contraction of
Alessandro, the Italian for Alexander.
His death had been expected at almost

grounds for such fears, its enemies hay-
ing been successfully and permanently
subdued, and the present situation tells
us that the progress of the state, to its
legitimate place of commanding innu-
ence in the commerce of the country,
should not be longer INSTRUCTED by an
organic law antagonlstic to the rapid
and brilliant achievement of it's destiny.
In the efforts made to secure amend
ments to which there was no apprecia BILE
opposition, experience has shown that
the constitution, in providing for it's own
amendment, contains requirements that
render the adoption OF amendments
practically impossible.
The necessity for q revision Is so ur-
gent, and the reasons thereof are so
plain, that an elaboration of the one, or
the enumeration of the other, would be
useless and out of place here.
[ beg that you win give this subject
the serious attention that it deserves,
and adopt the most effective mode of i'm
pressing upon the immediate represent
atlves of your community, that the best
interests Of the state imperatively de-
mand that q constitutional convention be
ordered by the present general assem-
bly,.
Very truly yours,
T. N. HIGHT, Mayor.

instrumental piece, entitled 1.-THE Chariot
Race" AS Mr.. Alternately truthfully an
nounced, the next piece on the pro-
gramme was by the sweetest little girl
in school, little Lille Dunlap, of Bir-
mingham. She recited "a Smack In
School. It's needless to say she brought
down the house
Misses Lum and Swain next enter
tanned us with an instrumental duet.
Next on the programme was Little
Tommies Prayer" recitation by Miss
May Swain, of Pratt City. A tear was
brought to more than one eye by the
beautiful and pathetic manner in which
this piece was recited, and the young
lady needed no more evidence to con-
vince all of the great talent she pos
sesses in this line.
A vocal duet by Misses Lum and
Swain was greatly enjoyed. Miss Sadie
Lenoir's recitation of aunt Tabitha"
showed she had talent not only for the
grave subject of missions, but could
also be very funny when she wished.
Difficult Love-Making," recitation by
Miss Carrie I4um, created great amuse-
ment. Vocal solo, II Love You In Spite
Of ALL" by Miss Swain, was well re-
ceived. The inimtable Miss Wilma
SANS Letter."
instrumental duet, then followed by
Misses Hattie Lyman and Sadie Lenoir.
Recitation, 1.-THE Inventors Wife," by
Miss May Swain, was perfectly rendered
and a storm of applause followed. Then
followed tableau that nearly put the
boys eyes out. Saturday night at Mrs.
E. S. Lyman's, when the curtain arose
it disclosed many mysteries of the toilet
delicately displayed and the only OBJ
lection to it was the falling of the curtain
too soon. $50 fIi. rarIf1'
Mr.. Alternately then followed in short,
but appropriate talk and after the clos
ing song, God Be With You Till We.Meet
Again. a delightful and well pleased
audience slowly disappeared
This entertainment was gotten up SOLE
ly by the pupils who board at Mrs. e.
S. Lyman's, and not a lesson was missed
nor minutes work sighted while it was
being prepared.
The exercises were interspersed with
beautiful tableaux all through the pro-
gramme, which were very much enjoyed.
The town is full of people today from
all quarters. The "horse swappers con-
vention" being in session, horses are be-
ing exchanged and many trades are
made. A race track has been fitted up
and more than one mustang will endeav-
or to lower the record for a scrub race.
News comes from Briarfield of the
probable fatal wounding OF William Far

Our sheriff, L. H. Kennedy, has been
very low with typhoid fever for sew
eral weeks, but the last account is that
he is slightly better. We hope for his
recovery soon. He led the democratic
ton, and has all the qualifications nee
essary to make a good sheriff, good judg-
ment firmness, integrity and honesty.
He had discharged the duties of his Of
flee about two months when he was
stricken down. He made q good record
as sheriff. Mr. Kennedy's deputy Mr..
John F. Hill, however, is filling his place
admirably, and has his work we'll up to
date.
Judge W. A. Young is on the sick list
this week. He is convalescent today, and
we hope he will soon be in his office
again.
Several deaths are reported in our
county this week.
