An Evening With Gibson.


No one who is an ;idmiFer of Gibson
and everyone is-could help but en-
JOY the entertainment given at the opera
house Monday night, under the auspices
of the Alumn2 of Central college. 1t
was first-class in every respect, and err
| tainly deserved larger audience.
Owing to the extremely cold weather
not many were able to attend. There
fore it was not as great Success lnan-
cially as the young ladies had hoped for.
The posing in all the pictures was sple,i-
did, and the audience was delighted
with them. The young ladies are in
debted to Mrs. NcCausland for the
success of the tableaux. She is an artist
in the arrangement of colors and rosi-
tions.
The Grst picture presented was "Gib-
| sons American Girl which Miss Mary
Silver represented beautifully.
This was followed by a violin solo, by
Prof. Starke. which was heartily eI-
eored. Prof. Stake has already become
quite favOrite with the music lovers
of Lexington.
Miss Mamie Chew posed gracefully as
the American Girl Abroad" with
| Messrs. Geo. Wilson, Jesse Crenshaw
| and Geo. Blackwell as foreign noble
I men, surrounding her.
"A Bachelors Supper, in which Mr..
Geo. Wilson and Misses Minnie Neale
and Elizabeth Morrison were the prin-
| cpal figures, was one of the prettiest
pictures of the evening.
After this. Miss Mae Elston, one of
Central's talented elocutionists, gave
reading that was thoroughly appiecia-
ted.
The four following pictures: 'Sum-
mer Filtration" Engagement Al
nounced, Winter Wedding and "Re-
penting at LEISURE" were fine, with
Miss Burden and Mr.. Childs as the
figures.
For the first time, Monday evening.
the general public had the privilege of
of hearing Miss Flint, the teacher of
elocution at Central college. She gave
a scene from Mary Stuart, Act VI,
Scene IN-Schillet-which delighted the
audience. Later in the evening she
gave leading-''So Was (which
proved that not only in tragedy is she
gifted, but i'm comedy also. Central may
we'll be proud of Miss Flint.
One of the prettiest pictures was the
Dinner Party, when you find you
are to take in to. dinner the girl
who yesterday refused YOU. Mrs
Peters, Misses Mary Silver, Georg
Gilkeson and Lula Cordeg; Messrs.
Chiles, Horace Blackwell, Jesse ciea-
shaw and Isaac Neale were.the iishIes.
The handsome costumes of. tlie Indies
and the graceful positions made ahis
beautiful tableau. -
Another pretty one was Love ..Wil
Die" with Miss Elizabeth Groves and
afr. fNeale as the figures, ;rltcf little
Elizabeth Morrison the most ehaIRing
cupid imaginable. r. SM
Other pictures were: ..,.Figd the
wife of the man VINO. is, telling. the
story" with Misses TaubInan, CSrovts,
Gilkeson and Corder, and Messrs
Neale, Crenshaw and Chiles' and others;
and Find the girl who has just heen
kissed" with Miss Orear as the princi-
pal figure. These were followed by the
most amusing one of the evening
THAT Delicious Moment wlien You meet
the noblenan your daughter has cap
tnred in Europe" Mrs. ,Bane and Miss
Orear, with Messrs. Geo. and Horace
Blackwell as nobleman and father re-
speetively,' we're the characters. The
expressions were perfect, and it was
altogether one of the best pictures.
After this, Miss johnson, Central's
talented vocal teacher, sang, THE
Gypsies.'' 1t is beautiful thing, and
was heartily encored.
Last on the program was, most people
thought, the preltiest-"A Leap Year
Wedding"-in which all the company
took part. Miss Maud Burden was the
bride, and certainly a beautiful one.
The stage was brilliantly lighted for
this, and the effect was all that one
could wish.
AS we said before, the entertainment
deserved a crowded house. and should
be repeated when the weather is more
favorable. -
