ELOCUTION CLASS
Young Ladies in Senior and Post
Graduate Plays.
"Pottieoat Pcrndy" and "Cupfd,.

Thurston's Eiocution Class 10 n
largo Acknowledgment Acting.

The elocution class of the Norfolk
College for Young Ladies presented the
annual senior and postgraduate plays
at the college hall last evening. The
audience was very large.
This class. under Miss Thurston, has
won many laurel boughs of praise from
the Norfolk public. The entertainment
last night was even more meritorious
than the former entertainments by this
class. In the presentation of the plays
last evening the talent brought out was
equal, in some Instances, to what we
see on the high-class professional
stage. The acting was done gracefully
and with n much less show of the am
ateurish than is generally seen in this
class of entertainment
"Petticoat Pcrfidy," the one-act play
by Sir Charles Young. Bart. offered an
opportunity for three of Miss Thurs.
tons most talented pupils, Miss Rosa
mond Whitworth. Miss Edna Owens
and Miss Louise Trice, to display their
aptness in presenting comedy through
the intricate intrigues of perfidy hid be-
hind pctticoats.
Miss Louise Tricc, who has won fire
quent honors at the college. played her
part exceptionally well.
"CUPID's MESSENGER"
In the play. "Cupid's Messenger, "
Miss Mary Thurston demonstrated
again and again her most exceptional
talent. She has very sweet voice. and
her movements are easy and graceful.
Miss Thurstons intelligent appreci-
alton was shown in her regard for the
proper costuming of the actors In this
itliZabethan period play, and this re-
gard extended even 10 the minutia. The
play is of poetcal nature, and was
Il neat contrast to the comedy piece
Those who took the parts were: Miss
Louise Cowles. Miss Thurston. Miss
Ruby Winston and Miss Patti Burch. b
MISS THURSTON WILL REMAIN

VINO are Interested in the development
