The Tect1e Club Entertainment.

l
ed the services Of Mrs. D. y. Eos
ter as manager for their proposed
entertainment success was dOubly
assured. We doubt, however
whether the most sanguine OF the
Clubs weil-wishers quite antici-
pated the signal success which
crowned the labors OF the ladies
on last Thursday. 1t was a good
cause to which the ladies gave
their energies and the people
quickly recognized it, The Teche
Club has come to stay and it has
come to do a good work, and now,
more than ever, the Club leaders
are assured Of the endorsement OF
the public.
1t is impossible to mention by
name all to whom congratulations
are due. The Southern Pacific
which ran Q special train free Of
charge, the Iessrs. Borah and
Abel, managers OF the Opera
House, the Franklin band, our
local merchants who closed their
stores ,riy, the Mcssrs. Wilson
MckeTall, John Bell and DR.. Har-
vey, the housekeepers who con-
tributed SO literally OF their ener-
gies and their larders, our local
press, the opera troupe, the boys
and girls and--well, everybody is
pleased and every body. is congrat-
ulating everybody else. 1t was a
great success, which netted the
Club S375 20 and which permits
the Club to pay OF the last cent of
Indebtedness on its bowling
alley. And now, its up to the
Club to add something more to
its equipment.
The st. Charles could not have
proved upon the menu for dim
ner and supper. The hotel might
have had greater variety
because they have the money
with which to scour the markets
OF the world, but money could rot
purchase a daintier service. food
better cooked or more satisfactory.
And more charming mattresses
could no where be found. This |
was the bill of fare served from
noon to 3 p. m, and from six on
10 midnight.

The Operetta was sung at S:3O
}. Ii. Bobby Shaftoe was written
oy the distinguished III. C. Brun-
Ter, OF Life, and was published
~ Harper and Brothers of New
ork. Training for local reproduce
ion was begun about three weeks
lgo. All the characters were ex-
.eptionally well distributed and it
eemed as if the real dramatic in
tinct had been slumbering right
Il our midst waiting only for
Bobby Shaftoe to awaken it. The
'lot of the Operetta was beauti-
ully unfolded. Every part was
AIKEN with a snap and a vim with
ut the slightest need Of a prompt
+ SO far as we could see. The airs
-ere catchy, the humor was of the
'ess kind, and the denoument Just
that everybody wanted. It would
e u thankless task to apportion
raise in any exact fashion.
,veryone did the very best and
very one, including always Mrs.
'oster, deserves the highest i
raise. |;
