Gets Good Results.
Before a record-breaking audience,
at the New Grand Tuesday evening,
a company of Lexington's popular
young ladies and gentlemen present.
ed the beautiful pantomine and spec
tacular production entitled "Ginev-
ra" Considering the length of time
for practice, the presentation was
and reflects much credit
upon the training powers of Mr..
Stearns and Miss Lee, who had
charge of the play.
The play as taken by itself gave
excellent satisfaction, and many
amusing specialties we're introduced
during the progress of the perform-
anee for the further entertainment
of the audience. Among the latter
which were especially good, were
the ''Pickaninny Scene" Medley
Chorus of Popular Songs" and
Growing of the May Queen"
Some of Lexington's most popular
and leading singers, including Misses
Marcia and Pauline Sellers, and Mary
Lillian Atkieson and Miss Mary Aull,
violinist, were on the musical pro-
gram.
"Ginevran is taken from the old
and well-known poem of that name.
The scenes are laid in an old Baronial
lastle. The first scene is the mar
riage of Ginevra and Lovel. Ginevra
grows tired of the gayeties, which
follow the ceremony and hides in a
chest in the old tower. The guests
search in vain for her for weeks and
months. After so years, during which
time the secret Of her hiding place Is
not revealed, her skeleton is found in
the old chest. Miss Nadine Steele
had the title role and gave splendid
personification VIM. Aull was also
good as Lovel.
The specialties by Misses Marcia
Sellers and Mayme Johnson and by
Miss Frances Bowman and Mr..
Stearns we're laughable to the ex-
treme and we're well received by the
audience.
The play was under the
auspices of the M. E. Church South
