The Second Rendition of "Out of the
Depths Mastery Success.
In spite of the extremely inclement
weather which had prevailed Tuesday
and Wednesday, the second rendition
of "Out of the Depths given at
Mount Olive Baptist Church on Wed
nesday evening, Feb. 10, proved to be
a grand success Many hundred mu,
sic lovers who appreciate the produe-
ton and admire home talent, braved
the wind, cold and the storm in or
der that they might not miss what
easily proved to be the grandest en-
tertainment seen in Ma hville for a
long time. Those who remained
away missed what will be conceded
by all that were present to be a mas
ter production of Folk Songs and
Plantation melodies. When the pro-
gram was begun at $3.50 fully seven
hundred people were seated in the
auditorium, and still they continued

Too much praise cannot be given the
of the company. Every in

service. The public was well paid for
going out. The production and the
occasion go down in history, to be
