Student-Actors of All Hallows'
College Score a Big Hit.
LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT
Charles Petersen. the boy Wonder"
Yesterday Afternoons Grand Par-
ade-Reception to the Boys
Last Evening.

The Margaret theater held large
ing to witness the presentation by the
students of All Hallows' college of
Cartoons Irish play, More Sinned
Against Than Shining"
The play was very cleverly present
ed by the young men of the college,
who not only sustained the various
characters in way that would have
done credit to professional players but
20 of their number, under the direction
of Professor Petersen, formed "a fine
orchestra of capable young musicians
who rendered the tuneful and catching
Irish airs as well as the more classic
pieces i'm q. manner that carried the
audience away, and made the entire
acts pleasing interludes to the per-
Torrance.
The ability with which both players
and musicians acquitted themselves
did great credit to the college, and
shows that the course of instructions
given by the fathers and professors of
the institution is very thorough. Spe-
cial credit is due to Prof. F. D. Murrin,
the dramatic director, under whose di-
rection the production was given Mr..
Murrin acted also as stage manager.
The scenes and stage settings were
very good and the whole ran with the
smoothness and precision of profess
SIGNALS.
Thomas Lynch's manly bearing, his
distinct enunciation, his soft voice and
delicate feeling entitled him freely and
fully to the part of the hero. Thomas
Powers tall, well built form and deep
resonant voice adapted itself perfectly
to the role of Squire, while his agent,
John Fanny, by exciting the hatred of
his audience, gave proof that he had
entered with no ordinary degree of in
tellgence into the spirit of his most
difficult character. Prof. F. Murrin as
the witty Irish lad captured his audi
ence from the very beginning, and his
Well accentuated Irish character
brought him a long series of triumphs
His Irish jig was a feature. Mr. Con-
molly, with his we'll pronounced En-
glish accent and well peppered dry wit
presented with marked ability the more
pleasing and noble characteristics of
the English army officer. The villain
in John Shea was a. revelation and the
old French captain was French from
. head to foot. The fact is that the boys
. proved all that they claimed to be and
more.
d,
q Prof. Anton Petersen has again shown
that he was one of the most noted
leaders in the West. That large or
chestra of 25 pieces. filling all available
space in the theater, was q marvel and
an exhibition of what possibilities lie
in the hearts and minds of our Western
youth All Hallows' may well be proud
of the rendering of such selections as
the Memories of Tara" Sounds From
Erin, Hope of Alsace"
Professor Pedersen's little son, Ar
thur, is truly a little wonder. This lit
tie boy, scarcely 10 years old, held his
audience spellbound for more than 10
minutes executing on violin a most
difficult selection, with the accuracy of
a veteran. The audience simply went
wild over this little genius, but no en-
thusiasm could disturb his self-posses-
sion.
The All Hallows' programme is as
successful an undertaking as the town
of Anaconda has seen for a long time
We can recommend their work fairly
and fully to the Butte audience, and
we sincerely hope that the support Civ
en- them will justify another visit Tai
ent in any order is deserving of appre-
citation, and on this score we tender
our nearly congratulation to the All
Hallows' students and faculty and say
welcome, boys, to Anaconda.
The coming of the All Hallows' stu
dents to Anaconda was quite an event
and from start to finish a pronounced
success. They enjoyed the generous
hospitality of some of our leading fell
low citizens and with the same genial
temper returned it hundred fold with
beautiful music and choice acting.
Yesterday afternoon 80 sturdy young
lads paraded the streets. playing two
fine overtures in front of the Anacon-
da Standard and ST AIMS hospital In
the evening charming open air con-
cert was given from the balcony of the
Margaret theater to more than 500
people.
