Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1897-12-19

Thursday evening, given under the au-
spices of st. Luke's P. E. church, at
tracted a large audience, and proved a
complete success in every respect. The
views were presented by Mr.. Charles
Schmidt. They embraced a variety of
subjects, including several views of To-
cal interest.
Wheeling society is proverbially
charitable. Appeals for aid for worthy
institutions never go unheeded. This
commendable spirit has been manifest
ed in very substantial way during the
past week, in the demand for tickets
for the charity ball to be given in the
Carroll Club auditorium during Christ
mas week, under the auspices of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. Its sue
cess Is already assured, but the COM
mittees in charge, whose names were
published in the Register last Sunday,
are still working zealously, and wMl
continue to do so until the affair takes
PLACE. The entire club house will be
used for the affair, and as the tickets
have been very judiciously disposed of,
the assemblage is certain to be congen-
ial The Opera House Orchestra will
furnish music for the dance pro-
gramme, and supper will be served in
the dining hail. 1t will be one of the
largest affairs of the winter
A cultured and fashionable audience
witnessed the presentation of Tenny-
sons Dream of Fair Women" at the
Opera House Monday evening, under
the auspices of the Humane Society,
and under the direction of Mr.. Frank
Updegraff. 1t is rule generally OBJ
served, that local talent entertainments
should not be criticized, but in this in
stance, the rule might be ignored en-
tirely, as the entertainment was no less
successful from an artistic than from a
financial standpoint The Dream of
Fair Women" was preceded by a short
programme of selections from grand
opera. When it is stated that the vo-
calists were Mrs. Martha E. Whitaker,
Mrs. Frank J. LeMoyne Hupp Mr..
Charles Zulauf, and Mr.. Will Clemans,
it will be understood that this feature
of the entertainment could not have
been improved upon. The stage set
tings for the second part of the pro-
gramme were very tasteful and hand
some. The scene resembled a picture
from some tale of the Orient, with re-
Ginning couches, luxurious hangings,
and negro attendants. The reader was
Miss Jennie Reich, who brought out
the full meaning of the authors lines
in a clear and we'll modulated voice
Of those who were cast for the produc-
ton, Miss Eta Rineheart deserves es-
pecial mention. Miss Dunlevy, of
Bridgeport, was to have appeared as
Cleopatra, but became i'll, and Miss
Rinshart consented to fill her place on
the Friday evening previous to the en-
tertainment. Miss Rinehart wore a
magnificent gown, and in appearance
was the part itself. She possesses an
excellent voice, and her action was
faultless. The vocal solos of Miss Ell
sic Gundling and Miss Eva Egerter
were well rendered and were received
with many evidences of appreciation. 4
All in this cast acquitted themselves
with such uniform credit that it would
be unfair to make any distinction
among them. Those who participated
were Miss Carrie Miller, Miss Maud
Spooner, Lou Rinehart, Harriet Dali
zell, Beulah Booth, Carrie Frazier, Ma
rie Wheat, Emma Myers, Mrs. o. Rus
sell Wood, Mrs. Lewis Steenrod, Miss
es Jennie Spooner, Grace Reich Carrie
Baer, Miss Brannen, Miss Emsheimer,
Misses Evelyn Jepson, Edith Noise,
and Lee Caldwell. All wore magnif-
cent gowns. The patronesses were
