w. columbia Is. c. State said of the
.,rananv's performance there last week:
eou.Ti,s Heater was too small to hold the
5,a,,oe That is not often the case in
SSIT,,15ia The attraction which caused
NJ outpouring of people was the opening
l w. of the Oriental Comic Opera
P.,ylany There would have been a still
-atsr audience, but there was no place
6nnt folks-ths house wasn't big enough.
NJ ~ r1ace was jammed on both floors and
,[borever there was space enough even for
y nail. Of feet TO stand somebody Trilby's
80 right there claiming it and freezing
" II Numbers were turned away for
u.ont of room as every seat in the house
bed been sold before the doors were OPEN
~ In fine company are a number of well
I-,,,,-n old friends of the operate world
Tbo have delighted audiences in Columbia
Iorora There is, first of all, Tom Martin,
rbo first made infantile music with cradle
commandment in the town of Chester.
Then there is f. J. Mccarthy,
iollv ana brimful of fun whom
everybody wherever he goes is always
Fad to see. In the company is also Char
iay Holmes, whose elegant tenor always
riyes pleasure, and Mr.. Peakes with a
baritone that has filled many singers with
envy. As pleasantly remembered as any
of these friends-and may be a little more
Sis the pretty-faced and well-rounded
h+tla blonde, Miss Isabella Sargent, So
nrsno and prima donna of the company.
Miss Sargents personal appearance is as
neasng to the eye as the tones of her
voice are attractive to the ear, perhaps
70 many the most attractive The Mas
cote. Andrans gem and one which al
Wavs pleases, no matter how many times
II NAV be heard, has been sung in Column
bis before, but seldom has it ever been
more pleasantly rendered. No greater
Lorenzo can be found than Martin.
Holmes was at his best at Pippo, and Roc
CO. the farmer, gave Mccarthy Just the
role necessary to show what fine come
dian he is All the other characters were
in good hands which rounded out the
opera to the pleasure of every one. Miss
Akers, the pretty 16-year-old dancer, was
also one of the taking" features and cap
tured all by her graceful movements. The
cinematoscope pictures were seen to per-
lection. The New York fire department
going to a fire and the Empire State ex-
press running at fun speed were the most
realistic of these animated pictures"
Tomorrow night ladies will be admit
Ted free when accompanied by a person
holding a paid 80-cent ticket. Popular
prices have been adopted for this engage
ment TO- 20 and 80 cents and for the matt
nees 10 and 20 cents.
Madame Bishop-Searles' song recital
Tuesday night at the Guards hall, for
the benefit of the manse fund of the First
Presbyterian church, promises to be one
Of the most successful ever given in Sa-
Vannah. The splendid soprano voice of
Madame Bishop Searles has been heard
here on but one occasion, but the First
Presbyterian church, where she sang last
Sunday night, was then crowded and the
congrega ton was delighted with the rich
harmony of her cultivated voice. Those
who heard her then, and many to whom
her praises were afterwards sung, have
