such realistic and accurate (&e 20
historic details) presentation as the
members of the dramatic section OF
the Young Ladies' Society afforded
them. The costumes, designed by Mr..
Updegraff, were enough in themselves
to dazzle the vision OF the average low
ers Of history, so accurate and magnif1-
cent were they, but when coupled with
the characters represented and the
principles themselves, they delighted
the most fastidious Miss Angela
Feeney, as Helen of Troy, re-
sembled beautiful apparition
as she slowly appeared upon
| the stage, as did Miss Bertha Schiller,
as Iphigenia. Miss Eta Weitzell as
| Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was superb,
her bearing and demeanor being of a
high order. and the magnificent cos
tune she wore supplying the necessary
requisite for fitting representation.
| Miss Gertrude Riester, who next ap-
| peared In response to the pause of the
| reader, as Jeptha's daughter, was real
| istic, and her splendid contralto voice
was heard to good advantage. and she
held the audience until the appearance
| or the next illustration Rosamand
| clifford being impersonated by Miss
i Beulah Smith, and she also won praise
/ for her masterful rendition and Flea
nor OF Provence by Miss Regena Pad

Skull In her arms, and slowly singing
a plaintive air, admirably suiting her
/ voice, was received with much satisfac-
ton and pleasure, as was Joan of Arc.
/ by Miss Margaret McFadden. Miss
| Mayme Owens as Eleanor of CASTLE
| filled this character to perfection, her
| low, sweet voice giving the required
tone of feeling to this character of the
| poem. Misses Katherine O'Hare, Min
ME Aul, Rose Dorsey and Sarah Gather
! as Ladies of Cleopatra'S Court, were
picture of reality in themselves. The
two colored ladies completed the pic
ture. Taken all through, with eGe
| pleasing and distinct reading of the
dream by Miss Nora O'Brien, convinc-
ed all present that Wheeling can gather
| local talent whenever desired 1t would
| seem that the success attained has
been heard of outside of Wheeling, as
kilograms have been received asking
for dates at Weston, Clarksburg, Par
kersburg and other points, and it is
likely that Grafton will be favored. 1t
will be presented at the Opera House
there in the near future.
