y
vocal talents as he should, perhaps;
yet his work in "Pinafore" where he
took the leading tenor role, was very
satisfactory, and he was given an at
tention at all times suggesting that
he had won his audience by the per-
feet sincerity of his efforts. He lack
ed none of the essentials of his part,
and got through the rather difficult
role with much credit to himself and
the training he had received.
There is this to say in summing up
this rather lengthy review: If the
audience had not been impressed with
the remarkable quality of the "Pin-
afore" performance, nothing could
have induced it to be one half as quick
to respond to the finer points brought
out in the work of the chorus and of
the individual characters. Sometimes
an audience will applaud home talent
out of mere sympathy, as much as to
say, "Well, why not offer the glad
hand? They are doing the best they
CAM" and let it go at that. But there
is always a difference between mere
applause and spontaneous enthusiasm.
The climaXes were all so cleverly
wrought, and so dramatically ap-
preached, that there was no mistak-
ing the real feeling, the real impress
ion that the opera made upon every
body. 1t was the feeling in the ap-
plause that made it so decided and
unmistakable. And it may be said
that "Pinafore" as played by the Pal
isadians had as much feeling as any
professionals could put into it, and
perhaps little more, because SO much
more depended upon their labors. And
having said all this, the more than
charming performance goes now into
those pleasant little chapters in the
annals of Palisade that people will
remember in the hereafter as among
the most agreeable impressions that
the first ten years of the towns his
tory have yielded. "The Palisadian's"
heartiest congratulations are extend
ed to everybody who had hand in
this brilliant performance" word
that has been bit hard ridden in
this criticism it is confessed; but if
good performance makes good
show, and the good show was good
performance, that is what it is in
tended to say.
Allan Carson took the part of the
"Midshipmite" His duty was to pace
the bridge and use a spy glass look
ing for ships. He was a fine sailor
lad and trained himself for the part.
All of his stage business was his
own, and he did it we'll.
