"Rebecca's Triumph" will hereafter
be remembered by Laramie people as
the triumph Of the Woman's club, dem.
onstrating as 1t did unquestionably the
ability OF the organization to present
an entertainment in an entirely differ
ent class from the humorous skits
which have previously been attempted
by the club. The drama staged last
night before an appreciative audience
gave opportunity for varied and clever
delineation of character and the man
ner in which the actors portrayed and
sustained their parts was a revelation
and delight to their friends. The play
itself is Of more than ordinary inter.
est, telling a pretty story which is
clearly brought out, and Astounding in
.pathos and mirth, while it is not pos.
sible in few words to do justice to the
actors themselves.
Millions But No Heart,
Imagine Mrs. Condit, that winsome,
petite matron, in the role of the hard
hearted, naughty woman of wealth,
MRS. Rokeman," but she dressed and
presented the part to perfection. Mrs.
Erickson as the old nurse Mrs. De-
laine," fluttered and fussy, warm heart
ed and devoted, was equally good. the
title role Of "Rebecca" was ably su,
stained by Miss Lenora Shaw, under
whose capable direction the production
was given. Who but Mrs. G. A. Camp
bell could essay and successfully por-
tray "Clarissa Goldman" the lovelorn
spinster, but she was one Of the fay
orites of the evening, her solo stunts"
being received with delight also. Mrs.
Hunton was especially good as Meg"
the insane vagrant, her youthful feat
and her wealth of silyery hair en-
downing her with a marked fitness for
the part, both as the waif and al the
sister and mother restored at last sane
and happy TO her loved ones.
PATHS Last FarwelI.
AS Katie Conner" the Irish serv-
ant, Patti GARDINER sang her last solo
here. Och hone! What will a Wo-
mans club play be without Mrs. Gar
DINER If she does desert Laramie for
California? Mrs. Corthell was "Gyp"
the colored cook, and race war pre-
vailed at all times between the two
maids, to the delight Of all beholders,
the former being the "lubliest Of her
and the latter n of the "libli-
est" ditto, while both were shining
stars at all times in the dramatic 1rm-
ament. Amid the cooking club girls,
Mrs. Bell as Dora" reigned as leader
of fun and mischief, her tricks on the
spinster Clarissa being among the hits
of the evening.
PATHS Last Farewell.
She was cleverly supported by the
remainder of the clique, who all acted
and sang and "ate" in a realistic man
ner, the latter particularly wreaking
havoc in the imaginations of certain
hungry observers. Mrs. Lee was an
admirable Jennie" Miss Ankrom ap-
peared as clever Nellie" Mrs. James
Mathison ate raisins in the role of
Emma Mrs. Don Miller figured anus
ingly as Sadie" Mrs. Eggleston few
about under the guise Of "Gussie," Mira.
Charles Rauner was the stately MA
ria," and Mrs. A. E. Miller received a
bouquet for her presentation of
Grace" Miss Laura Lee was the Pi-
anist of the occasion. An enjoyable
feature of the entertainment was the
musical program which was interpo-
lated, Mrs. Trumbull and Mrs. Gibson
rendering solos, and Mrs. Gibson, Miss
Lee and Mrs. Latimer singing a trio
with Mrs. Lee at the piano. All OF the
vocalists were in sweetest voice and all
were compelled to respond to enthus-
iastic encores.
Sincere Congratulations.
The entire performance was as en-
joyable as it was admirable, and the
ladies of the club, particularly the
members of the cast, have been sin
cerely congratulated upon the success
of their presentation Of "Rebecca's
Triumph before the Laramie public
last night.
