THE VAUDEVILLE A SUCCESS
AND A REPETITION WANTED
A Brilliant Programme Gost Happily Render
ed by the Leading Talent of
Raleigh

Our city has been the scene of many
pleasures the last few days, but from
the many expressions of approval heard
on the streets, the Vaudeville was a
centre of interest
The Academy of Music was filled with
large and appreciative audience, which
enjoyed to the utmost the attractive
programme. Miss Annie Rogers and Mr..
Early Hughes presented "By Telephone"
in a most clever manner. and if these
young artists costumed the act them
selves. their judgment is certainly excel
lent The work of Mr.. Ben Hardy was
highly appreciated One of Raleighs
charming young ladies, Miss Ellen Dur
ham, introduced here. for the first time.
the pretty little ballad, 'Baby Mine"
Miss Durham possesses a delightful voice
and uses it to great advantage. Some
of Raleigh's prettiest little misses as
sisted Miss Durham by singing the chorus
and pantomining it with little dolls.
Miss Flora Creech, who has won lau-
rels, and Mr.. ]. S. Atkinson were at
their best in "A Christmas Dilemma"
OF all sketches ever written, this is in
deed the funniest. The audience were
immensely pleased with the work of Miss
their approval by almost continuous ap-
plause. Little Miss Rogers, who is an
expert dancer, delighted every one pres
ent and was forced to respond to several
encores. Messrs. Sherwood Upchurch,
Clarence Coley, Vim. Smith and VIM.
NOVEL;, who constitute the Atlantic Male
Quartette. contributed several numbers
to the programme, all of which were
cncored and thoroughly enjoyed.
Seldom does Raleigh ever see better
work from professional organizations,
and it is hoped the Vaudeville will be
repeated and it Isl safe to predict full
house If the arrangements can be made.
The demand for a repetition comes from
many who saw and many who missed the
splendid performance.
The complete programme was as fol-

The Lawn Party.

The third and last of the lawn parties
given by the Ice Mission Band during the
Firemans Tournament was given last
night on Nash Square and it was en-
joyed by many.
Under the able direction of Mrs. j. O.
Atkinson these events have been most
attractive additions to the pleasures of
the visitors to the city during the week.
They have happily filled up the evenings
and the patronage has afforded aid to a
noble cause.
Music was rendered each night by the
Tournament Band and it was greatly en-
joyed. The young ladies who assisted
each evening did so most gracefully and
by their own charms added to the sue
cess of the three evenings.
