The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-10-02
AN EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT
Given by Children Under Auspices Of
Barre Woman's Club.

| Under the auspices of the Barre Won
ans club and the direction OF Miss Eve
w. Scates, nearly 200 school children
selected from the different grades ana
ranging from the primary room to tho
| high school gave what turned out to be
one of the most enjoyable entertain.
ments that has yet been undertaken by
local talent. Every available seat in
the auditorium of the opera house was
taken and the balcony was well filled
when the curtain went up for the first
scene.
As an attraction, no better theme
could have been chosen than that OF
"Hiawatha" Longfellow's expressive
story of the Indians life. As each
scene brought out the descriptive stanza
of the poem, it brought the life of the
red man nearer and dearer than before.
Given in pantomime form and with re.
spect to each individual character, the
portrayal was very good, and with the
careful guidance of Miss Scates, who
interpreted Longfellow's work, the play
was made interesting even for the little
tots. Besides the natural scenic effects
the electrical novelties added finish to
the performance. Vocal selections by
Newell Parker, Georgina Palmer, Mar
garet Mercer and Lorraine Loranger were
well received.
During the four acts, drills, dances
and chorus intermingled with the inter
probation. The freely drill, rainbow
drill, bow and arrow drill and toma
hawk drill were all gone through with
aoo4,p,as o,,I No ~o =, l;a nd roaa;,tad
greetings of loud applause. 1t was an
extremely interesting and entertaining
affair.
