THE SMALL
BOY SAID
The School Entertainment Was
a Dandy.
His Father and Mother Echoed His
Words.

What was undoubtedly the most
unique, original and entertaining school
entertainment ever given in this city
was the one rendered their parents and
friends by the pupils Of Miss Shul's pri.
vate school, at Mattingly hall, Saturday
nikht
The program was a most delightful
one, and all the numbers were splendid
" rendered, and reflected great credit
upon Miss Shull, whose taste, ability and
versatility we're exemplified all through
the course OF the entertainment
The pictured hymn "Jesus Lover Of
My Soul" rendered by number Of girls
dressed in white Grecian robes, was art
aud poetry personi6ed. The posing and
expression was beautiful beyond descrip-
| ton.
The recitation by little s. ull Haswell,
entitled "The Bald Headed Man" was
prettily rendered and seemed very much
enjoyed by DR.. Simons and Rev. Joiner.
"The Fishing Party" a recitation by
AL Hennen LaHeist, was a m ct pleasing
selection and was heartily appsuded.
"The PEACH" which proved to be the
undoiDg OF little Johnnie Jones and his
sister Sue, was recited by Wallace Mat
tiDgly.
The club swinging exercise by class
OF boys demonstrated Miss Shull to be a
lady Of great versatility and strictly
up to-date in her methods. The boys
went through the exercise like veterans,
and their proficiency was highly comp.
mentary to their instructor
Master Robert Pierce, one OF the
brightest and most dinunitive represent
taties OF the rising generation, recited
Whitcomb Riley's immortal "RaggedY
Man" in just the way that Riley's little
hero worshipper would have said it.
The gossip psntomine was a most
realistic piece of acting by the girls 1t
seemed to please the masculine portion Of
the audience immensely but the women
seemed to regard it as an aspersion upon
their sex, although one inadvertently
remarked: ats true to life." 1t receiv-
ed three encores.
The song "Reuben and Rachel" rem
dered in costume as a character sketch
by little Emmett Sipple and Edith
Burn excited the disabilities OF the au-
dience until it roared with laughter
The rendition of the song was quantity
amusing.
A comedy sketch "The Irish Love
Letter" was rendered in very spirited
and pleasing manner. Miss Lula Sewers
acted the part of a young mistress to
perfection, while Miss Louise Babbage
made as sweet, charming and naive
colleen bawn ma chree" as il she was
raised in the Emerald Isle. Wallace
Pierce as "Gyp" coal black lady SER
want girl was out OF sight.
The hit of the evening was the charac-
ter sketch song and cake walk entitled
INA South Car'lina Rose" by Allen
Pierce, assisted by Wallace Pierce. ALLIE
sang like a sure enough vaudeville artist.
He was BACKED up and primped up un-
til he was "nigger dude" of the ''sport"
variety. He cake walked with his part
ner with such grace and sang froid that
Tommy Ferry said "Allen's hot stuff
and I'll back him against Frog Eye"
The entertainment was Just short
enough, varied enough and piquant
enough to keep the people amused, In
terested, and eager for more all the way
through
Considering tie short time for prepa.
ration Miss Shull accomplished wonders.
She deserved the wealth OF hearty and
sincere compliments that were showered
upon her,
