FRIDAY NIGHTS ENTERTAIN
MENT

used for building a fence around the
new primary school on South Third
street, was a brilliant success. The
program, from the first number - the
last one was delightful. Ocals has
some very talented musicians, and
their music last night places them
among the artists, and each perform
ar was heartily applauded and their
selections thoroughly enjoyed.
The opening orchestra number by
Miss Fisher and Messrs. Mathews,
Tucker and Fisher was spirited and
lively and was q well selected open
ing number. This clever and talented
orchestra also played the concluding
number at this entertainment.
-EympLs and Fauns," very
~harming song, was rendered by Mrs.
John Il. Taylor. This selection suited
/ her voice admirably, and never before
has mrs. Taylor sung 50 we'll. Miss
Gams3y played her accompaniment.
Tie violin sole. Lob der Thramen,
as ir-arg.e5ed by Miss Mary Conner,
Was very beautiful She plays very
artistically, and It is always a delight
70 lc.r her Ser second number, Carl
Ga-a;e "Not0 PerpeCuo." was very
a,cb. and difficult, and was played
Y Mss Connor with both ease and

SIZE sang delightfully."-, her song being
'Mattinata." by Tosti. Mrs. Mexican
$ always heard with pleasure, and
'ast night she sang unusually we'll
Mrs. IL, {. Camp, who was gradual
- n piano music several years ago
with nigh hOnors, played several num-
Ders. There is no finer pianist in our
/ city, and At was indeed a treat to lear
Mrs. Camp. Her first number was (a)
To a Wild Rose" OBJ "SOng-Sea
Pieces;;" (c) ITO a Water Lily"
which was light and graceful in the
extreme and most delightful. For
her second number she selected one
of the Incompatible Chopin's beauti-
full Nocturnes.
Miss Tolmie, who is spending the
winter in Ocala and Lake Weir, fol-
lowed Mrs. Camp. She has a lovely
soprano voice, clear as bird, and as
sweet and distinct. AS most of the
audience had never heard Miss Toll
ME before her numbers were a great
treat. She sang (a) "a Rose Fable"
OBJ "Dinna Ask Me-" (c) caro- Milo
Ben" and later on in the evening
Sc Saran Rose" by Arditi.
! After Miss Tolmie had sung, a one
act play was cleverly acted. The play
was entitled THE Domestic Problem
Solved" and was extremely ridiculous
and laughable. 1t was the story of a
number of helpless society women in
search of a cook, and the various
means they were forced to employ
and the insults they had to submit to
from prospective culinary artists"
was we'll brought out. The climax
was reached when Mrs. Perkins, one
more brave than the other seekers af-
ter cooks, so thoroughly snubbed Mrs.
Bridget O'Hara that she was COM
pletely subdued forever afterwards.
Mrs. L. w. Duval, as Bridget, was
perfect. Her makeup was eKcruciat-
ingly cOmical, and her acting could
not have been improved upon by one
who had been behind the fOotlights all
iIer life. She fairly brought down the
house by the lordly airs she gave her
sell.
( Mrs. B. W. Mimms, as Madam Nc
Ginnis. who conducted an employers
mot an employmenO bureau, acted
well her part. and no better actress
could have been chosen for this diff
cult role.
/ Sallie, the pert and saucy maid.
was Miss Pauline Sullivan, whose
hobby was for polishing her nails.
/ She was delightful in her impudenca.
and everybody was glad when she
found and opportunity for entering the
Office.
The part Of Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins
Jared splendidly in the hands of Miss
/ Meta Jewett. She demonstrated that
she knew how to handle a servant,
and soon convinced the other ladies
that her way was the only right and
proper one to use toward servants,
and solved the domestic problem to
the satisfaction of everybody con-
| cerned.
The minor parts were taken by Mrs.
