Rev. Horace N. Aldricb, aside
from bearing the entire weight OF
the dictatorship, also appeared in
the important part Of Mordecai. To
the people OF this vicinity Mr.. Aid
rich once more displayed his versa
tality, for from the time of his first
appearance as an outcast seated at
the Kings gate in scorn, until he
was elevated to the position of an
honored member OF the court, not a
chance escaped him to give full vent
to this important character, while
his belpmate and sister, imperson-
ated by Miss Emma d. Menge, won
for this young lady all toe honor
which could be bestowed upon her.
Miss Menges pleasing soprano voice
captivated the audience in her solos.
and when blended in duets with the

audience could ask for but little

AN ELABORATE
PRODUCTION


The cantata of Esther, the beauti-
full Queen, which was presented in
the Opera House in this village
Thursday evening by the young peo-
pie OF L'Anse and vicinity, was one
OF the grandest and most elaborate
attractions which has graced the
local stage in some time.
For several weeks past Rev. ii.
N. Aldrich, under whose direction
-cantata was presented, had labored
increasingly, and Thursday evening
reaped a splendid reward by a
crowded house and hearty and en-
thusiastic applause.
To do justice to each and every
one who took part in the perform
ance would be an impossibility In
words, for even to the smallest tot
in the large chorus carried his or
her part like veterans OF the stage,
while from those who assumed the
roles OF the leading characters but
little more could have been expect
ed, so cleverly did they handle the
parts assigned them.
In the selection of Miss Katheryn
Justema for the role OF Esther. Mr..
Aldrich could hardly have chosen
one more'itted for the part. Her
pleasing voice and style OF carriage
linking well into the position which
she assumed.
The role OF the King, in which DR..
]. Howard Anderson appeared, was
likewise good selection. DR.. An
derson's voice aud knowledge of por-
trayals of men OF state, made him
appear in this respective part to an
excellent advantage.
