POWHATAN OPERA
WAS A SUCCESS,

Under the personal direction ot
Mr. Albert l.. Baker, of Chicago, the
Indian opera Powhatan, (comic) was
produced last Friday and Saturday
nights at Woodmen Hall for the
benefit of the Guild of the Episcopal
| church. No affair in recent years
has been so successful, and from Mr..
Baker down to the papoose every in
| dividual effort contributed to the one
| perfect and happy success that char
| acterized the affair. The solos were
well rendered, finished and we'll re-
| ceived and the choruses of Indian
maidens, warriors, papooses and little
braves and the various drills and
dances elected repeated applause.
Miss Jane Brunson, Miss Camille Nc
Keon and Miss Nell Preston shared
the honors of the evening. Miss
Morrison's splendid and well-trained
voice was not heard to an advantage
suffering under the stress Of severe
cold. Miss Pauline Mcdonald was
splendid in the lead of the feather
Dancers, assisted by Miss Susie
Briggs, and others. The Tom-Tom
Girls, led by Miss Keon, was another
feature especially pleasing. Mr.. B. G.
Cox, of Gulfport, as Powhatan, was
ideal in his partrayal. Messrs. Bak
er, Elmer Mills, Walter McKeon, |
Prather Mcdonald, T. Ray Cary in |
leading parts kept the audience in a
constant good humor and the artistic |
side of their acting was prominent.
