GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.
To Be Given by the Daughters of Isa-
bella at the Covington Theater,
July 3Oth, 1910.

The Life of Christopher Columbus
and the Life of Joan of Arc, accom-
panied by selected repertoire of
music and singing.
1t would be unnecessary to COM
ment on the life and feats of the il
lustrious navigator and conqueror,
Christopher Columbus, as his deeds
are known to every lad in the land.
However, it will prove very interest
ing and instructive to both young
and old to see displayed, and hear
related those great achievements of
a modern hero.
Joan of Arc.
The reproducing of the life and &C
lions of this great heroine of French
history, and of the world at large,
will create enthusiasm and venera-
tion in the hearts of all those pres
ent. At the contemplation of this
humble sheperdess of barely Is years
being called by the Almighty to the
rescue of her country from English
ton.
See her leading those aged war;
riors of her country to successive vic
tories, conquer the fortress of Or
leans (hence her title, Maid of Or
leans), at the Cathedral Of Rheims,
place a diadem On her sovefeign's
brow!
And finally see her fastened to an
ignominious stake, there to perish in
1ames-her pure soul taking it's
flight to heaven, until the glorious
day of the 18th of April, 1909, when
the venerable pontiff of Rome, Plus
x, proclaimed her Qualification to
the world, and called her, Blessed
Joan of Arc!"
Undoubtedly every lover of art
and student of history will be inter-
ested in this performance, given for
the first time in Covington.
