Recital in Expression by Miss
Elizabeth Hollingsworth.

Miss Elizabeth Hollingsworth of
South Carolina gave her recital for
graduation in Expression at Judson
College, Marion, Ala, Monday eve
ming, March %. Her program was
''The Prince Chap" by Edward Peo
pie, the author of THE Littlest
Rebel, very clever and interest
ing story of London artist life.
The hero William Peyton is Young
American sculptor from the South
and the background of the play has
various English characters of great
interes., of which the butler Reunion
is typical. A beautiful and virtuous
model, Mrs. Arlington. in dying,
leaves her little daughter to the
care of Peyton; she appears at the
three ages of five, eight, and eigh-
teen years, in most striking and
clever situations. Fuckers, who
brings coal for tie artists and af
terwards marries an artist chap, q
'arry-nort" in circus, is one of the
most laughable characters on the
stage; the earl, Princess Alice, and
Mr.. Helmer add depth TO the plot
All these various personages were
we'll presented and acted by Miss
Hollingsworth; and her audience
listened with marked attention and
deep interest. Many offerings of
beautiful pansies, roses, and other
flowers showed the appreciation of
her friends, after admiring the ease,
grace, and fine voice and manner
with which her piece was rendered.
The Judson and her teacher, Miss
Mary Hollingsworth, have reason to
be proud of her talent and train
ing.
The stage was decorated with
ferns, smilax and lovely pink car
nations, and the graceful usbers
were Misses Adelaide Bell Of Pratt
vile and Ena Wes,inger of Dallas
County, and Messrs. Edward Nc
MILAN of Orrville and Gordon
Wilder of Marion Institute.
Miss Mildred Mcmillan of Orr
vile assisted in the program with
three violin numbers of great beau
ty, with Miss Jeannette Chapman
OF Jackson a. the piano, both these
young ladies' icing Music seniors
