Miss Louise A. Williams, the beau
tiful southern girl, impersonator Of
the old southern darky, entertained
select and appreciative audience
at the opera house Thursday evening
Of last week. Her portrayal Of the
negro character was unique and her
monologues and stories were given
In manner that amused all. The
only regret expressed by those who
attended the entertainmnt was that
the young lady appeared but one
night A feature Of the program that
was highly pleasing was the singing
Of Mrs. ID. s. Davis. Mrs. Davis sang
one or two old time southern songs
that brought generous applause. The
announcement that owing to unavoid-
able circumstances Mr.. George Ham
llik, who was on the program for two
or three southern melodies, could
not appear, was keen disappoint-
ment to the audience. Had Mr.. Ham
llilS appeared the entertainment
would have been generously good,
with nothing left to be desired.
