Rozelle and Gay Estill, Mrs Kelley
and Miss Bessie Goggess, looked
simply stunning IN their handsome
gowns. These ladies' were what a
real show would call show girls, and
the manner in which they sang and
acted proved the title would not be
amiss.
The gentlemen in the play were so
good it is hard to attempt to speak
their praise.

His song, eGoozy-Woozy,' provoked
numerous encores. The scene in
which he is taught etiquette by the

Any part that Mr.. Lewis essays is
always well done.
Hiram Shade, a rural sleuth, play

might Say briefly he played it like
an actor. All the light and shade

humor and pathos, burlesque and
tragedy. 1t would be hard to de

satisfactory manner, and as before
stated he was cast for the very pleas
ant position Of being in love with
Evalina. His solo, "Heroes Just
the Same" has the real military
swing and ought TO become popular
when heardmore frequently.
Mr.. Fleming Holden played a
footman, or rather a tiger, in great
fashion. He looked the part to per
lection. His singing and dancing
were a genuine surprise as well as a
source of pleasure to the audience.

We venture to say that more
beautiful number of young ladies or
better chorus of voices was never
seen or heard upon the Clarksburg

materially assisted the general ex-
ccllence of tn performance, as one
old theatrical manager remarks, elf
YOU haven't a chorus, you haven't

How the girls got all their flowers
