THE ACADEMY.
"a Lucky Hoodoo."

The irrepressible Billy B. Van. Law
ishly scattering mIrth, has the happy
faculty Of being a comedian and at the
same time being genuinely funny,
while the Beaumont Sisters are clever
and graceful. The trio are the stars
OF "A Lucky Hoodoo," which was pre-
scented at the Academy last evening
and demonstrated to the large audience
that as an entertainer It has no equal
Billy Van, with all his tnerrinent
and wit, and the Beaumonts, with their
abundance OF good singing and up-to-
date dancing, failed to eclipse the many
other bright things that make ups the
show. The inimitable Billy works
hardest perhaps in the riot of fun
making and makes this show the big
gest entertainment that has arrived
here in a long time.
We first encounter Billy Van as
Steve Gall" the property man in .
theater, when he convulses the audi
ence by his grotesqueries in attempting
TO manage everything in sight. Later
he is assistant to a fortune teller. and
gets in situations from which he ex-
tracts an amount OF humor that cannot
be excelled.
There is a beauty chorus and every
member is really young and pretty.
There is plenty OF lively dancing and
many marches and lots of songs that
are tunefully catchy and sung effect
lively. ''Um PUN Man." "On Broadway"
Just a Little Quaker Girl" ''Vocaliz-
ing" and xiii That Bear" are the song
hits.
Billy Van has many admirers in this
city. and this is a great show which
should not be missed.
The staging is splendid. the costumes
are rich and snowy. and no incidental

Sister Silvia, now of Helena, Ark, arrived in the city from Little Rock last Saturday evening for three days visit to the Sisters of Annunciation Academy and old pupils and friends. She was accompanied by Sister Bath ildes, of St. Vincent's Infirmary, Lit tie Rock. In September, 1880, Sister Silvia arrived from Nazareth, Ky, where the Mother House of the Sis ters of Charity of Nazareth is located, as Superior of the staff of the five Sisters who were to open Annuncia- ton Academy, Sisters Angela, Bath ildes, Eudocia and Alicia.

 Among her old pupils now in the city are Mesdames Millie Haizlip, J. w. Withers, w. D. Jones, D. H. Plum mer, C. B. Murphy and many others who called upon her during her brief visit. The great change for the bet ter of Pine Bluff was one of the pleas ant surprises to Sister Silvia. In her time, there were no street cars, elec- tric lights, sewers, paved streets or concrete sidewalks and the popula- tion one half of what it is now. The only thing that seems to be natural is the Arkansas river which is at the present time extending it's influence considerably.

OBSERVE MAY DAY
 AT ST. J0SEPH'S  CATHOLIC CEREMONIES SUNDAY EVENING WERE MOST BEAU TIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE. Sang the Lltany of the Blessed Virgin Father Pierce Delivered
 the Sermon.

The children of St. Joseph's Sun day school held their usual May Day celebration last Sunday night with a procession through the aisles of the
 church while singing the Litany of the Blessed Virgin. The church was
 filled to overflow with parents and tfrienass,who viewed with pleasure the
 wierd procession winding it's way with professional cross and banners flying.
 The Virgin Mary is regarded by Catholics as the greatest woman of
 the world and the finest model to be
 held before children on account of
 her innocence, purity and courageous performance of duty. It is also
 Catholic belief that by virtue of the clause in the Apostles creed calling for a declaration of belief in the com
 munion of Saints, there is a common union of the Saints in heaven and those on earth who by virtue of bap- tism and saving means of grace are entitled to be called Saints.
 It is natural therefore from a
 Catholic point of view that the Saints in heaven are expected to intercede
 for those on earth, if asked to do so
 While there can be no communication
 between earth ana heaven except through God, it is Catholic belief that God makes known to the Angels and Saints when sinner repents and little children are scandalized by wicked minded persons. Accepting the doctrine of Invocation of Saints Catholics honor the Virgin with rela- tive but in no wise divine veneration and they treat her statue with that character of honor which all good citizens show to the statue of George Washington.
 Catholic children in this May Day celebration crown the statue of the Virgin Mary with crown of flowers in recognition of her right to be their Queen of May. Father Pierce delivered the sermon of which the above is brief outline. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament concluded the ceremonies. The pastor, Monsig- nor Lucey, preside din the Sanctuary.
