Civ One of Their Best Performances at the
Smyrna Opera House Last Evening Before
Crowded House; Program Rendered

sed one of the best performances the
White Rose Minstrels has ever given.
From the time the curtain arose until
1.-The Arrivals" there was more or less
applause and the boys are coming in
for considerable share of praise this
morning for their efforts in producing
the play. The stage decorations were
pink, the orchestra of eight pieces oc-
cupying an elevation in the back
ground and the circle occupying the
the front of the stage. President U.
G. Click sat under horse shoe of red,
white and blue bunting at the top of
which was large "white rose" illum-
ined with electric lights Electric lights
also encircled the shoe. The footlights
were red and gave a subdued color eff
feet to the whole scene. There was the |
usual amount of Jokes and local hits
by the end men, of which j. G. Mar
nering and Harvey W. FAIRIES were
the principle comedians. Their
ascension in the air ship was one OF the
hits of the evening. A quartette, the
Novelty Comedy Four" of Philadel
phia, assisted in the entertainment of
the evening and their hearty reception
was shown by the continued applause
given them every time they appeared
before the footlights. Besides their
contribution to the solo work in the
overture, they gave some specialties
that were we'll received.
There was also generous share of
applause for McAffee and Shelton our
local clog dancers who acquitted them
selves with meritorious effort and won
the applause of the audience. Charles
f. Turner another one of our local
boys proved himself somewhat of a
! "Keller" and his sleight of hand per-
formances were exceedingly clever.
