The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-10-12
A GRAND
SUCCESS

Tie performance by the Home
Dramatic Co. Monday night must
have been thorough success, If the
plauditS and expressions of those pres
ent may be accepted at their face
value. Like all amateur perform
ances it lacked something of the vim
and dash that characterizes the pro-
fcssional production, but as a whole was
far better than the average profess
Sional engagement in this city.
The only objection to the first part,
the minstrel, is that there was net
enough of it. The aggregation in full
dress. the ends BACKED, circle white,
presented an excellent appearance,
and the Wittmark Overture, taking
% minutes, was rendered in highly
pleasing manner. Dell knowltOn and
b. r. Piper were exceptionally fine as
end men. but the Others lent greatly
to the perfection Of the production.
johnny Balitl, as the wandering organ
grinder, was very pleasing and was
recalled. The solos of Farrell, Baugh
and Moore met with favor, and the
AnheuSCr-Bush dancing specially by
Hansen 4 Edwards was encorcd.
Mr.. Carbon proved splendid inter
lOcutOr.
The stunt by Piper Il Moore, in
which "IIawkshaw the Detective
and burIcsque on "Corianton'
served as an opportunity for few
local gags" stirred the resiblities of
the audience to a finish.
The dancing speciality, Russ and
Jap" by Hansen & Edwards was sup
erb and the boys were compelled to
return. Their dancing is equal to
much of the professional work, and
their costumes were beyond descrip-
ton.
Dell KnOwlton as the silly boy was
no less a success than as an end man.
Dell is the real Stuph and shows the
advantage there is in years Of stage
work.
The "Sextette from Florodora" was
readily the hit Of the evening. The
young ladies were fair and graceful
beyond compare and coStumed in a
manner betitting their charm. 1t is
the opinion of many who have seen
the Sextette in all the gorgeouSnesS of
silks, satinS and laccs that the pro-
rcSsionals must necessarily suffer in
comparison, so far as appearance is
concerned. The young ladies were IN
white trimmed in black velvet and
wore large black hats, black plumcS,
and black elbow gloves. The gentle
men wore double breasted black sacks,
duck trousers and straw hats. The
movements were executed neatly and
under the glare of the vari-colored
lights the scene was delightfully."- IAN

opinion of many Others when he says
that the Sextette was unquestionabIy
the most superb thing of the kind
ever produced on the Logan stage.
Dream Faces the drama with
which the performance closed was very
pretty and done in creditable man
ner. Misses ElaSon and Parkinson
and MessrS. Carbon and Lafount took
their parts nicely, receiving the
hearty congratulations Of their many
friends after the performance
Though late this part of the perform.
ance did not grow weariSOme, but
held the rapt attention of the audi
encc until the end.
But say, readers, this isn't easy
The writer was one of the star u
performers of the bunch and is OF
such a retiring nature that this writ
ing of ones own affair is really embar'
RAISING. We truly believe that the
matter as told above is told mOdeStly,
too modcstly, in fact, for the affair is
certainly worthy of and is the Occa'
sion for unstlnted praise. There were
two and a half hours Of solid enjoy,
ment.
