Friday evening at Armory Hall ''The
Henrietta" a high class comedy inaer-
spersed with many pathetic incidents,
was rendered in honor OF the visiting
Pythian Grand Lodge. Every compli-
mentary seat reserved for the visiting
delegates was occupied, as was also
every other seat in the house. The
editor OF the DIsPATcH had the pleasure
OF being present and regrets that space
will not permit him to give full details.
He went prepared to see an amateur
performance and was very agreeably
surprised at the local talent and the
completeness OF the stage property and
fittings. The players by their merit
won many deserving encoriuins of praise
from the visitors who unanimously ex-
pressed themselves as being delighted.
The company need have no fear to APP
pear befor any audience in the State.
We have prided ourselves on our own
home talent, but we have now come to
the conclusion that we are not in it.
G. S. Nixon sustained the principal
role OF the play and he did it in a most
excellent manner His makeup was
fine. He sustained his reputation as a
newspaper man by taking all the
kisses in sight and probably inn
proved on the author of the play by
adding a few. We envied him enough
to think 30.
Our young men were all in love with
Miss Maud Miller and her acting was
highly complimented. The play and
the players furnished the principal topic
of conversation on the train coming
home and the company would feel justi-
fed in wanting to star had they heard
what was said about them, one and ali.
The orchestra came in for Il generous
share also, we can say that the music
was a great treat.
After the play a banquet was given by
Ivanhoe Lodge No. 10, X. of P, at the
courtroom, about $50 covers being laid.
The board was graced with innumerable
good things to eat and the collation., all
in all, was as fine II spread as we ever sat
down to in Nevada. 1t was, as it de-
served to be, y great success and the
hosts must certainly feel highly gratified.
Hon. q. s. Nixon acted as toast master
and in that position he is always all
right. His address OF welcome made all
feel like members Of Il happy family and
his introductions OF the speakers were
graceful and witty.

The banquet closed in the nee smd
hours Of the morning by the members
OF the Grand Lodge giving three lung
bursting cheers and a tiger for Winnie
mucca and the dramatic company.
In the history OF Nevada Pythianism
their will be no brighter place than that
which records the session just closed.
The people OF Winnemucca did all in
their power to entertain the visiting
Knights and their families and succeeded
to perfection. Expressions OF appre-
citation are heard on every side and thew
are unanimously voted royal enter
tanners.
