ENTERTAINMENTS.
The Singin' Skule.

AS NAA6AA ~A~'
| After all, our local attractions are TIE
best And it has been demonstrated
lately that Columbia can stage the spec
| tacular. the high class concert or the
side splitting farce, with equal and un.
| varying success. And when you have
seen one Of these, you have seen some
| thing that will do you no harm, but
good.
Such an entertainment was the
"Singin' Skue" Tuesday evening 1t was
not TO say artistic, but rather fantastic;
it was neither high class tragedy nor
low class comedy: it was simply two
hours OF wholesome fun II was not
anything to be described The homeii-
ness and awkwardness of the performers
was simply indescriblble; and the fun
was more in pantomme than otherwise.
1t would be difficult to particularize,
end perhaps unfair not to mention
the entire school. Davy Doodle Frank
Everett) was too cnnsipuons to be oyer
looked, however His ant cs were ir-
risistible, and he kept the house in a
litter
The Old Fiddler Raymond Adkisson)
was immense. The q andiloquance
with which he asserted himself, and the
honest surprise upon bis countenance
each recurring time he was sent to his
chair, grew upon the audience and never
failed to amuse.
Ed Turner, long, lean, lauk and awk
ward. had a penchant for flies, and he
raxed them fore and aft despite the
school teachers vigilance.
Tho Row nrator ~ u D,,tloJooA oow
vulsed the house with laughter with
his original rendition of the ''Boy stood
on the Burning Deck" How Oscar
got his smiling countenance into the
| scared look he wore, and then got the
twist out again is truly a conundrum.
Charity pumpkins, Mrs. G. A. For
gey) sang and acted and danced her
part beautifully; as also did Alviry
Slimmins Miss Annie Fleming sing and
act the pretty ballard, That's the Time
when No means Yes"
Miss Maggie Sheppard impersonated
"The American Girl" well, and the
"Koon Song" bv Miss Minnie Shep-
pard and Mr.. Willard) was ole of the
hits of the evening.
Tobias Perkins Frank Moore) Heze-
kiah Bumples DIR, Meadors,) Jemmimy
Larkin Miss Shlelds) The Old Maids
Miss Carpenter and Mrs. Annie Nc
Lemore) all did well, and the "2 corn
dered piece" by Mercy Meekins and
Jeremiah Bobkins Mrs. J. G. TAYLOR
and Mr.. Willard, was so good that they
were made to do it over again
Willie Winkie mr.. A. B Rains) i'm
personated the English dude to perfec-
ton; his walk was just the thing and
his hand-shake quite fetching, dontcher
know. Jehosaphat Hawkins. (Mr. Will
Shields) could hardly keep awake long
enough to answer present." but he did
that in great style.
Jerusalem Simkins "Reedn frum the
book writ by herself" Miss Louise
Woodside) was high tragedy sub lime,
while Arabella Snipentrue's song Miss
Lazarus) was high opera sublima.
The Yellow Kid, IN 4ster Marsh
| Mayes) was incorrigible, and The Twins
tMessrs. Granville Coleman and Joe
Towler) never forgot their bottles, ex-
cept when candy came in sight. They
had remarkably strong voices for kids.
"Ask the Stars" was sweetly sung by
little, Misses Frankie Lipscomb and
Mary Barrow and the ''Skale in Rhine"
was splendidlv acted and recited by Miss
Ellen Friel. The Original Komposishum
on Kolumbia," by rom Huckleberry,
walter Hastings) was original sure
enough, and made some palpable hits.
The duet by Romeo and Juliet Shak
spear4 Mrs. Kate Williams and Mr..
Arch Lipscomb,) was so beautiful that
it threw Mrs. Bobkins into duck tit.
If it hadn't been for that fit there would
doubtless have beer an encore, as the
music was really good.
The "E1igh Skule Gurls" reflected
great credit upon the Skule, and the
''Weddin Bells"by Davy Doodle Frank
Everett displayed his Deep rich, fall
setto voice to fine finish.
"Aud Lang Syne" closed these two
hours of fun.
Messrs. Bertram and Willard, who
came and taught the performers their
parts, are courteous and gentemanly in
their department, and understand per-
fectly their parts The evening was
under the auspices of the Thursday
Evening Musical, mplimentary to Miss
