This little city of ours has long
been noted Tor the excellence Of its
amateur entertainments, ranging in
kind from the unpretentious school
exhibition to the elaborately dress
ed and beautiful staged musical and
evolutionary production, what has
been given has been without excep-
tion first class. Some of the pre-
sentations have been far better than
some of the shows" carrying no
ted" professionals.
Among the many well presented
and equally well received amateur
efforts the entertainment of which
the above is the programme, stands
well toward the top. The head-liner,
to speak after the fashion of the
play house, was My Lord In Liv-
cry" beautiful little sketch in one
act. The Lord masquerades in the
livery of the footman in an aristo-
cratic mansion, and as the play ad-
vances many amusing situations
are developed which the bright well
spoken dialogues helped along very
well indeed The costuming was ex-
cellent and appropriate. and the bits
of by-play, the stage business"
were strikingly well done The page,
little George Hatcher, looked and
acted Just as well as the grown
ups acted and looked, and this is
saying great deal. This was the
lads debut, and he has reason to
be proud of his success.
My Lord in Livery-the play, not
the Lord--was sandwiched between
some very delightful solos by piano
and violin, recitations and choruses,
The instrumental selections were ar
tistically and harmoniously render
ed, the recitation showed native a
bility and good training, and the
choruses, rendered entirely by fe-
male voices, We're given with a
swing and tunefulness which won
repeated encors The closing meas
ures of the Moonbeam chorus shat
tered that old fogy belief that there
is a man in the moon. The tableau
disclosed the fact that the sole in
habitant of the inconstant planet
which nightly changes her circled
orb is not a horried man, but is
really pretty girl.
The artistic success of the enter
tainment is largely attributable 20
the musical director, Mrs. b. NJ.
Keith, and the stage director, Mrs.
Guy Atkinson.The good women, each
skilled in her line, labored long and
intelligently and, as the end showed,
successfully to make the affair
worthy of the large and representa-
tive audience which greeted the
amateurs on both evenings. The ac-
companists also deserved and, receiv-
ed large measure of praise for
their proficiency in their work.
