LOCAL TALENT AT THEIR BEST.
All Those Present Were Well Satisfied
and Applauded voelferousIy-
Over 500 Realized.

The Dream Of Fair Women" an en-
tertainment given by the Home Work
ers last Friday night, was undoubted-
ly one of the best amateur perform
ances ever presented to a Lewistown
audience. During the first part Of the
entertainment those present were
treated to a pretty and vivacious Jap
anese operetta consisting Of selections
from San Toy" and THE Geisha,"
which we're rendered in a manner that
would throw many professional
troupes in the shade.
The latter half of the performance
consisted of musical and other spec
ialties by members of the troupe and
the orchestra and the evenings enter
tainment was brought to aclose by an
excellent representation of Tenny-
sons Dream of Fair Women"
The curtain raised on a prettily dec
Grated stage occupied by the entire
company dressed in bright hued cos
tunes so truly oriental and artistic
that the spectator could almost imag-
inc himself transported to the land
which inspired the writing of San
Toy" and ~The Geisha."
The moon song from San Toy" was
well rendered by Misses Anderson,
Mackey and Mr.. Cort, who were well
supported by a chorus consisting of
Mesdames. Arthur, Stoll, Bach, the
Misses Chase, Phillips, Deaton, Pee
bles and Messrs. Smith, Blodgett, Leh-
man, Vaughn, Silloway, FolmsDee,
Croft and Cort.
1.-THE Petals of the Plum Tree" by
Miss Chase. was sung charmingly.
while the kissing duet by the same
lady. supported in an able name by
Mr.. Blodgett. was encored repeatedly
and was responded to by a repetition
of the last stanza.
The fifth number on the program,
THE Amorous Gold Fish," was replac.
ed by a well sung duet by Miss Mack.
ey and Mrs. Arthur. while the follow,
ing number. an excellent d~elsartian
representation, entitled "A Girl and
Her Feather" was rendered in a very
graceful name by Miss Elizabeth
PEBBLES.
The solo and chorus, THE Interior
ing Parrot" was given in an inimita
BILE manner by A. B. Lehman and full
chorus and responded to a well de
served encore.
"a Posy From Over the Sea" wal
omitted in favor Of "The Jonqui
Maid" which was sung in a charmin;
and distinctive by Miss Stells
Mackey.
Miss Chase gained much applause
by the n IN which she sang tho
solo in the selection entitled Just {
Little Bit of String" in which the full
chorus did very efficient work. Tht
| operetta was brought to a close by
very humorous rendering of "Chir
Chin Chinaman" by Prof. Sillowa.
and Messrs. Smith, Vaughn AM
Folmsbee. Prof. Silloway enacted tn,
part of Wun Hi to perfection and wa.
a very lively impersonation of an al
~mond-eyed oriental, and is especial,
to be congratulated on MS conception
of the part.
Afr a short intermission Messrs
Vaughn and Blodgett gave a couple o
very catchy selections on the mandc
lin and guitar, which received an er
core.
Mrs. A. w. Stoddard read a selec
ton from the works of James Viii
comb Riley. entitled "The Aftel
whiles," which was well received an
the curtain was let down to make PR
parations for IN exhibition of India
