The second number of the Aledo
Lecture and Entertainment course was
given by Miss Sarah Mildred Wilmer
at the Aledo opera house Thursday
evening. Miss Wilmer gave her own
original dramatization of Wilson Bar
retts great Christian play The Sign
of the Cross" which has been pro-
nounced by dramatic critics TO be the
nearest approach to the authors per
sonal Interpretation ever produced.
The close attention given by the large
audience and the profound stiffness
that prevailed during the two hours
reading were the most eloquent tokens
of appreciation that could be given.
The story is one OF beautiful Christian
strength in the face of the most trying
persecution during Nero's reign. Every
character was faithfully portrayed,
from brutal Nero to the little Chris
tian lad. Stephanus, whose cries and
pleadings when subjected TO the rack
and sent to his death were too real to
be enjoyed. OF Miss Wilmer as an
entertainer it has been said, This
generation has not known reader SO
distinctly sent as a messenger of en-
tertainment and good cheer and has
more clearly discerned her mission
than has Sarah Mildred Willmer-the
Sarah Bernhard of the Lyceum.p
