fine ENTERTAINMENT
Was That Given BY Local Talent Last
Saturday Evening.

roof that was ever given in Louisa
was the entertainment presented by
some amateurs at the Masonic Hall
on last Saturday evening. Long be-
fore the curtain rose for the first
number on the programme the hall
was completely filled by an appre-
ciative and enthusiastic audience,
and when 1t fell upon the final per-
formance Of that multi-sided Sweet
Family the verdict of excellence
was unanimous. To speak highly Of
any one performer or performance
when all did 80 we'll, and make no
reference to others looks like max
ing invidious comparisons Hence 1t
will not be, done. in this friendly
notice. All who took part in the
programme we're amateurs. and iii
is probable that some OF them made
their first bow to an audience on
this occasion. Yet there was no
"stage fright" no awkwardness, and
If any slips we're made the recovery
was 80 good and 80 swift that moth
ing wrong was noticed.
Let US say little of each number:
Miss Grace Kennels first faced her
friends with catchy and pretty
song. She did SO we'll in voice and
manner that well deserved encore
brought her again to the front,
pleasing as before with her sweet
tones
Two Women and One (invisible)
Man" a sketch by Misses Jean Nc
Clure and Goldie Byington next de-
lighted the audience. II was rem
dered in a very spirited and attrac-
tive manner, and in the final sum
ming up 1t was probably we'll for
Mr.. Man that he was not present in
the body.
Prof. Spradlin, of the X. N. c., in
his coon" sketch, with G. A. Nash
as interlocuter, ELECTED much ap-
plause. He has a good voice and
his makeup was true to the part.
One of the prettiest features Of
the entertainment was the Pony
Boy" drill. The girls we're pretty,
and the various evolutions of the
drill were rendered with dash and
grace which would do credit to pro-
fessionals OF large experience. The
good looks of the bunch of boys
and the neatness of their move
ments won for them several recalls
The costume of the participants was
not the least attractive part Of the
member.
"Yip-I-Addy-I-Ay.' This sketch
was in the nature of revelation to
the audience. Not everybody knew
1t was coming, and still fewer knew
who the players were even after
they had appeared. 1t was a bur
lesque upon high-toned music, and
the spirit and humor with which it
was given made 1t one of the most
enjoyahle features of. the evening.
Mrs G. A. Nash, Miss Grace Rem
mele, G. A. Nash and John G.
Burns were the musicians" and
they surely did well. 1t took several
renditions of "Yip-I-Addy-I-Ay" to
satisfy the calls for more.
The final number of the pro
gramme was the appearance of The
Sweet Family, ma" Sweet, Miss
Harriet Rees, and her daughters
seven sensible, silly, sacharine,
saucy and seraphic sisters, namely
Arminty Ann Sweet, with many
winning ways, Imogen Porter.
Betsy Belindy Sweet, the delicate
one, Julia Dorcas Snyder.
Caroline Cordelia, Matte Fitch.
Dorothy Delilah, Margaret Lackey
Both Twins.
Elizabeth Eliza Sweet, by. far the
most attractive, Bessie Byington
Frances Fedory Sweet, who loves
flowers, Rebecca Lackey.
Glorianna Gadabout Sweet; who
giggles, Bessie Reid
Each of these was introduced BY
her doting maternal parent, and
each reflected credit upon her ma
as such and as their trainer.
Taken as a whole this entertain
ment was much superior to that
given by any of the fly-by-night
shows which sometime favor us with
a call. To Mrs. Nash and Miss Rees
the elocution teacher of the K. N.
G., great credit must be given for
their efficient and untiring efforts
to make the entertainment the pro-
nounced success it was. If you think
that the preparation and giving of
such an affair does not demand
llgreat skin. patience and tact, try
It once.
Mrs. John Burns furnished the
