"Ye Colonial Wedding"
A Great Success
Those in Charge Receive Generous ApplauseFnancial
Returns Win the Ribbon

Newark is famed for creditable |
amateur productions, but there is
doubt if ever she exceeded |
the excellence Of the performance
given in the Opera House last Fri
day evening by the ladies of the
New Century Club. Repeated re-
hearsals and whispered plans of the
last fortnight had transported the
townspeople to the heights Of expec-
fancy. The directors of the play,
however, and members of the caste,
were equal to the occasion. Too
much credit cannot be given Mrs.
Ii. r. Tyson and the ladies Of the
committee for the skillful manner
in which the production was staged.
Previous to the raising Of the cur
tain Mrs. c. 0. Hougton urged the
audience to forget the present and
let their imagination dwell on the
pleasant ways Of long ago, a wish,
which the audience, after catching
a view Of the stage, found easy to
crafty.
No detail which could aid in
creating the atmosphere of colonial
Virginia had been neglected and
the result was charming indeed.
The most rare and valuable an
tiques the community afforded
aided in the clever arrangement.
Notable features of the drawing
room where the wedding was held
were the old-fashioned musical in
strument belonging to Mrs. Agnes
Miller, on which the wedding march
was played the solid silver toddy
ball, belonging to the Misses Will
son, the grandfather clock, the
property of Mr.. r. II. Jones.
Fitting perfectly into the scene
was the dignitied old butler, giving
the finishing touches to the already
perfectly ordered room before the
arrival of the guests. The part was
cleverly taken by Adam Hunter
who, by the omission of no detail
; which imagination had con
ceived of the faithful old servant
of the bygone day, won the hearty
applause Of the audience.
The costumes were elaborate and
picturesque the wide skirts and
ample draperies Of the ladies, the
powdered wigs and knee breeches
of the gentlement, combining to
create a realistic illustration Of the
colonial wedding day.
The program, which was in
three parts, represented the enter
tainment preceding and the festiv-
tiles following the wedding cere-
mony. The sweet old songs that
everyone loves, beautifully render
ed by the musical favorites of the
community, won generous applause.
The most spectacular feature of
the program was the May Pole
Dance, upon which no time or trOu-
BILE had been spared. The pole it.
self and the eight long ropes were
solid with flowers of all kinds and
shades. The girls gracefully danced
the elaborate figures with a smooth
ness and grace suggestive of years
of experience, and won for them
selves and their drill-master heaps
of laurels. The program follows:
