Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1907-07-27

tauoua waved a last farewell to the
members Of the Hesperian male quar-.
tet as they left the entertainment
last night, after giving their closing
concert.
Their three previous appearances
on the Chautauaua, program were each
enc revelation to Ottumwa music
lovers, but it seemed as though they
had saved many Of their best numbers
for last nights program and the APP
plause was long and loud after each
selection.
Their best humorous numbers last
night were 'Is it Hot Enough for
your" and "Juanita." The first Is an
old chestnut set to original music and
was enacted by the singers. "Juanita,
rs rendered last night, was ludicrous
to the extreme. It was announced as
an imitation of the Hesperian Ladies'
quartet, and Mr.. Fisk as the soprano,
was great.
Two solos by the second tenor, Mr..
Fisk, were beautiful and were worthily
appreciated by the audience. A sacred
hymn. Moody and Sankey's brightly
Beams Our Fathers Blessing was
then sung with true Hesperian feeling
and left profound impression On the
gathering. AS a final number the
quartet sang Dudley Bucks famous
Good Night" song. 1t was fitting
climax to the triumphs gained by this
aggregation of singers while in OF
tumwa and the great tent was hushed
for several seconds after the last note
died away. Then as the audience re-
allied that the singers were through
and were leaving the place wave aft
er wave of applause rang out and the
Hesperians were waved a good bye
with hundreds of handkerchief as
they made a last bow.
The Picture Show.
While moving picture show Is not
new to Ottumwans, the entertainment
Of that nature given by w. Robert
Goss. assisted by Miss Bartel, singer
and pianist, last night at the Chau-
tauqua, was delightful surprise.
The entire program consisted Of II,
Illustrated songs and motion pictures,
but the pleasing features Of the enter
tainment was that everything was new
and original and that the operator.
Mr.. Goss has machine that repro
duces the pictures without the inces-
SAINT Pickering which Is SO objection
able in the cheaper shows of this
kind.
The different numbers comprised a
program Of great variety. By far the
best thing Of the evening was the re-
production Of the opera Cinderella"
which has been playing in London
with such marked success. The scenes
were procured by Mr.. Goss at heavy
expense and surpassed anything Of the
kind ever put on In Ottumwa.
Several comical sets Of pictures
were given. interspersing the less
frivolous numbers, and altogether
comprised a program Of unusual in
terest.
1 Tomorrows Program.
i The program for tomorrow Is an es-
pecially strong one. George L. Nc

sion and DR.. Rheinfrank In the morn
