The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-05-26

IN HE MEMBERS of the Country
club enjoyed the most delightful
event in the history OF that or
III ganizatlon last night when the
entertainment committee provid-
ed a series of tableaux illustrating
"The Education of Mr. Pipp." after
the famous Gibson pictures. The rooms
were crowded with guests. and the
overflow occupied seats on the piazza,
where glimpses OF the stage were af-
forded through the open windows. The
end of the living room adjacent to
the dressing rooms, was arranged as a
stage with palms as a foreground and
dark hangings.
The series of thirteen pictures were
shown and the beauty and accuracy Of
the presenta tions surpassed even the
most enthusiastic anticipations.
The education of Mr.. Pipp, as most
Gibsonites know, is accomplished by
means of an ambitious wife and two
daughters in a trip abroad. Mr.. Pipp
was interpreted by Mr.. II. d. Merrill.
He is a meek conference.-the Pipp,
not Mr.. Merrill-but the faithful por-
trait OF a meek and we'll ordered hus-
band and father was something to re-
member. Indeed, Mrs. James Archibald,
'" hp was hio ilpuS anu tuNii'i
tive liege lady declared that after once
looking at him she felt no pangs at
leaving him and making the return
trip in advance. Mrs. Archibald as
Mrs. Pipp was superb in statelness
and the proper degree of disdain.
The two daughters were Miss An
derson and her beautiful guest, Miss
Barker, of Chicago. Mr.. Fitzmaurice
was Mr.. Brady. whose handsome coun-
tenance was disguised and disflgured
by a moustache. Mrs. Fitzmaurice,
the elegant lady Of fashion. was eH-
auisitely taken by Mrs. +. II. Jermyn.
Miss Augusta Archibald was an unusu-
ally attractive dressmakcr. Mr.. Slade
made an aristocratic looking prospect
i've bridegroom. The courier was Mr..
James Sanderson, who was made up
to be as foreign and diabolical as the
most lurid imagination could desire.
One OF the most attractive tableaux
was that of the races where Mr. Pipp.
leaning above a carefully posed group,
grows madly excited. The ballroom
scene was lovely with n throng of
pretty girls in charming gowns in the
dance with the leading characters.
Among those who appeared were: Miss
Anne Hand, Miss Eleanor Reynolds,
Miss Gertrude Sprague, Miss Frances
Hunt. Miss Elizabeth Bunnell. Messrs.
F. p. Fuller. f. w. Holland, James
Blair, jr. were also in this scene.

and carrying lilies of the valley We're
disclosed al walking down the church
aisle on either side Of their father,
the stage cleared Of all other charac-
ters. 1t a delicious glimpse OF charac-
