was presented to an audience that
literally packed Masonic Hall from
door to stage on last Tuesday |
night, And it was not "10-20-S0"
affair in any particular, either in
price OF admission, quality of audi
ence or kind Of performance. Long
before the curtain went up the
house was full OF Louisa's best
This indicates the quality
of the crowd which could hardly re-
strain its impatience for the en-
tertalnment to begin The wait
for the curtain was rendered less
irksome by the clever rendering of
some popular piano music by Mrs.

Scene first was laid in the IL
brary of the Randolph mansion in
New York, and disclosed John RAN
dolph and Edward Steele. They
were discussing plans for keeping
Margaret Burley from attending a
college girls society meeting. The
boys did not want Margaret to be
elected president of the Sorority,
but each plan fell through until it
was suggested that the boys at
attend in the garb Of girls as the
Delegates from Denver The scene
then changes to College Hall, the
place of meeting The Sorority had
assembled for the meeting and the
election, and the proceedings of
the girls, real and pretended, were
irreslsubly fanny. Those who know
John Randolph and Edward
Steele" in real life can form only
a faint idea of how they looked
diked out in modern hobble skirt
gowns and peach basket hats. But
no old stagers could have gotten
more genuine fun out of the parts
than these two young fellows pro-
duced The girls looked well and
acted well, but when did you ever
know Louisa girl to do otherwise?
In the play the young men we're
Just leetle more prominent than
we're their sisters, but the time for
the fair ones was near at hand. At
ter short wait enlivened by the
piano, the curtain went up for the
Japanese Parasol Drill. Say, now,
you old theater goers, did you
ever see anything of the kind pret-
tier on the stage of the Grand or
the Lyric? Don't believe you ever
did. Here were ten feminines, all
young and pretty, garbed in quaint
and fetching" Japland costumes
and carrying Japanese parasols.
They marched conference.-the, ,knelt
"kow-towed" and smiled. all the
while keeping time to appropriate
music as they went through the
pretty and intricate figures. II was
worth the price of admission and
was encored heartily and the ten
graces came on again, this time
carrying Japanese lanterns instead
of parasols. The auditorium was
darkened, which added much TO
the effectiveness of the pretty pic
ture. The may evolutions were
again given, winning round after
round Of applause. The drill par
ty did SO well that their names are
worthy of the public print; Mrs, J.
L, Richmond. Misses Julia D. Snyder
Jet. o'Neal, Bessie Reid. Bessie Sny-
der, Jean Mcclure, Willie Frazier,
Martha Vaughan, Goldie Byington
and Rebecca Lackey.
The drill ended part one. Here's
what Part II. was composed of:
An All Star Cast of Old Time and
New Time Minstrels.
