OPENING RECITAL.
The Shakespeare School Of Acting
and Physical Culture Affords a
Delightful Entertainment.
BY Ben BalIou.

ny 6en baIlou.
One time long time ago a self
alleged wise man said that he who
made two blades of grass grow where
but one had grown before was a pub
lie benefactor, or words to that ef-
feet. Then he labeled the saying
Philosophy" and sent 1t out into the
world for people to think over.
1t would have been far more philo-
sophical philosophy had the wise guy
said that he who makes a blade of
grass grow where none grew before
Is a public benefactor.
This last expression OF the senti-
ment, to my mind. fits very nicely the
Shakespeare School of Acting and
Physical Culture. recently establish
ed in Durango by Lillian Hartman
Johnson. The city has never enjoy
ed the existence OF anything OF the
kind before, 1t certainly "ills long
felt want" and Its promoter is deserv-
Ing of great deal of credit and q
whole lot of success In her undertak-
ing.
Last nights opening recital at the
institution aforementioned warrants
the assertions already made. The
affair was highly enjoyable to the
hundred or 80 people who had been
favored with invitations, and 1t is to
be regretted that the size OF the hall
precluded the possibility OF the even.
ing's entertainment being enjoyed by
a larger number Of people.
The programme was varied. 1t
consisted Of literary. musical and va
rious other features, and the partici-
patton of a number OF the pupils OF
the school in the exercises, and the
highly creditable manner In which
they performed their parts spoke
most encouragingly for the future OF
the institution.
The pupils as well as all those who
contributed of their talent to the
pleasure of the evening acquitted
themselves most artistically, and II
is only lack Of space that prevents
individual mention.
| One thing last nights entertainment,
exemplifed most strikingly is-the fact
that Durango will support, and hearti
ly, too, a school such as Is the Shakes
peare. While the older members o.
the community may be pretty busil,
engrossed In the limitless chase aftel
the almighty dollar. after they have
realized to some extent their ambi
tion in this direction they will Away
be found only too glad to AFFORD thci
daughters and sons the advantages o
acquiring education and polish and al
that sort Of thing which. owing Il
the dearth OF opportunity and the ez
igencies OF the times. most Of us old
timers In the wild and woody west ha
to forego.
Nothing succeeds like success
Last nights recital was . success @
the unqualified brand. II augurs vel
| for the future Of the Shakespeare. an
its repetition will be eagerly antic
'pated by all.

Bob Burdette of California was the

day afternoon and his presence drew
crowd that the largest hall in the building
was unable to accommodate. Before Bur-

OF the First Congregational church deliv
cred an address on the fourth step in the
progress of making saints out of sinners.
Robert Burdette's short talk was an en-
dorsement OF the appeal made by Rev.
Herring for the young men to accept the
Christian religion and to take an active
part in the Christian work. The closing
prayer was made by Rev. jerks OF the
First Presbyterian church. Following the
services a social session followed During
this Mr. Burdette related a few personal
experiences and told stories in his humor-
GUS vein. A large number took lunch at
the association building and Mr.. Burdette
was made the guest of honor.
