 AT STANDARD CLUB


 Six pretty girls with their faces bIacked bey1nd recognition, with q chorus of the prettiest women in Mont romery. in whose midst stood hand some interlocutor. gave to the mem bers of the Standard Club last night the most brilliant performances that the club has ever enjoyed.
 The Dramatic Society's performances in fhe past have been fine. but the show of last night was finer, and all who saw the unique performance or the female minstrels had to bow their heads and say that 1t was the pest yet
 It was so unusual. Members Of the Standard Club-and 1t may be here said that they have the best private theatricals that Montgomery can ar ford--had expected that they would see an amateur performances of average merit. But what they saw was so near to the professional standard that all propped their eyes open.
 The six pretty girls had not obliter- ated themselves. They were thorough ly disguised but their talents shone through the gloom of total darkness and their friends recognized that they were Miss Blanche Engle. Miss Clara GrieI, Miss Regina Rosewald. and Miss Beulah Moritz, Mrs. Lawrence Well ana Mrs Ike Simon. And rendering them the best of assistance were A. B. Meyer and Sam Sulzbacker, who affordeo some of the best comedy situation or the minstrel performance.
 Mrs. Sidney Winter was tnterlocutor. In a most becoming gown, Mrs. Wihter was strikingly handsome. and sne was one of the most admired figures on the stare She presided over her min strels with admirable grace and ai- fordad to inc show a dignity that was distinctly meritorious.
 Miss Gertrude F1exner Is to pc hfghiy complimented because or ner vocal solo. Miss F1exner, singing on Montgomery's public stage for the tlrss time, offered a voice finer in its eIe. mental qualities than almost any .ha. have been heard. Though she sans sfrnple music, it was notable that Miss Fiexner possessed a sweetness or tone and a power of expression that are unusual, Her rendition of the song was sympathetic and strong. ana a cultivation of her natural voice would surely produce fine results.
