If the audience at the East
End Park was not as large as
was expected on Thursday night
on the second presentation OF
the Golden Dragon" it was
certainly not due to a lack of
favorable comment on the first
performance. There was but
one opinion with varlations) in
the audience on Tuesday night.
Some of these are worthy Of
repetition.
One said, 81 have no words TO
express my surprise or apprecla-
ton, enough to say. ! have
paid 81. 50 many time to see a
play not half so well put on or
as good a play" Another, a
lover Of the drama, said, "There
was really no room for criticism.
Every part was we'll sustained.
The scenery too was pleasant
surprise" Another, 81 had no
idea we had so much dramatic
talent in New iberia. 1t took
an artist like Mr.. Clifford to
bring it to the front, he ought
to be encouraged Another
who attended both performances
said, "1'hat play can stand rope
tition. 1t is seldom even among
professionals that we find all the
parts so we'll sustained. The
scenery is the work of an artist"
The next thing on the tapis
is "Before the War Minstrels,"
which will be put on in about
ten days.
