1t has not been our pleasure in
a long time to listen to more in
teresting and captivating lecture than
that delivered at the Concordia Opera
house Monday evening by Rev. j. T.
| Nugent, LII. D., of Des Moines, Ia
The subject was ''The Philosophy of
Civilization and the speaker handled
it in a most intelligent and attractive
manner. Father Nugent possesses
every requisite of the gifted orator,
and to these attributes he adds the abil-
ity to bring out wildly the knowledge
that flows rom an unusually fertile
brain. We have seldom heard more
graphic pen-pictures, more splendid
SMILES, or better rhetoric than be
gave expression to. HIS comparison
of the Pagan civilization with that of
| today was a concise review OF
existing conditions then and now.
| The great changes, he said, began
with the birth of Christ and the ad
vent Of Christianity. We regret that
time and space do not admit of de-
tailed synopsis OF bis highly edifying
discourse. The fact that Father Nu-
gent held the minute attention of his
large audience for two hours of fluent
talk is proof of his unusual ability to
entertain. We hope to hear him
again in Watertown's lecture field.
| The management of the Concordia
Opera house has secured Mark E.
Swans funniest of farces, 1.-The Red
Cat,n for Tuesday evening, March 5.
| This is said to be the cleverest farce
in point CT construction and humorous
Emerit that has been written in several
| years. 1t is considered to be the
| greatest laughing success of the
present theatrical season. The author
describes it as an ''effervescent &C.
stacy" It has all the sparkle,of glass
of champagne and all the iridescent
brilliancy of a diamond. The plot
hinges on a mistake over the unex-
pected presence of two clipping couples
in the Red Cat inn and has dash and
ginger that has seldom been equalled
| in modern farce LudicrOus sltua-
tions and complications crowd upon
each other in rapid succession and the
entire piece is enliveDed with quick
fire of quibs, jokes and epigrams. The
brilliant coterie of farceurs include
such well-known lights of the drama
tic profession as Miss Franklyn Gale.
