dfflcult type Of dramatic art is in
torpretation, Nine. Labadie held the
oHentIon of her audience in man
nor that brought before them a men
al picture of the surroundings, dress
and faces of the characters, which
was a wonderful performance.
So dramatic was the climax, when
milan was struck down by Mark, the
audience felt It was witnessing a
drama, and not merely listening to the
reading Of tragic story. Madam La
bodle is a handsome woman, with a
graceful figure and beautiful arms
and hands, Her artistic gown was Of
delicate grey blue, with silver trim
mlngs, blending delightfully."- with her
ivory complexion and crown of soft
grey hair She captivated her listen
ers with her personal appearance, her
beautifully modulated voice and her
dramatic ability. The audience was
thoroughly appreclative and she has
won for herself a place that will make
her future appearance in Salem an
event Of Importance.
This entertainment was given under
the auspices Of the Cleaners" of the
First Methodist Church, and the mem
bers are to be congratulated upon
their choice of Nine, Labadie, a mag
nlilcient Interpreter.
