The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1915-02-25
PRODUCTION ISA
GRAND SUCCESS

The people of Blackfoot had an op.
portunity of witnessing last Friday and
Saturday evenings, at the Isis Theatre,
an entertainment written, staged and
produced by home talent, that in quail
ity is very rarely equalled in city of
this size, and not excelled by amateur
productions of the large cities.
The Variety Review as presented by
Messrs. lillian and Alfred probably ex
cceded in scenic investure and richness
of costuming any travelling attraction
that has ever played in this city.
Judging by the appreciation mani
tested by the packed houses the latent
musical and dramatic talent of the city
was also given forceful demonstration,
equalling in rendition, in the opinion of
many. a large proportion of the profess
SIGNALS that have been seen behind the
local footlights.
To train an ensemble of nearly thirty
practically none with previous stage ex
perience, and to properly stage such a
finished production, requires finesse and
dramatic ability of high order which
was fully exemplified in Director Hill
lam.
In addition to directing and staging
the show Mr.. lillian composed the mu.
sic and librettO of the operetta ''The
Dairy Maid,' painted the beautiful
scenic effects and designed the artistic
costumes of which there were nearly
one hundred.
| Comparisons are invidiOus, so suffice
it to state, that each and every member
of the cast covered themselves with
glory. One OF two in particular if they
chose to continue have, in the opinion
of the writer, future along theatrical
lines.
Negotiations are now in progress to
place the show on the road with a pro-
fessional cast playing the "big time"
of the coast states.
In any case Blackfoot can not hope to
keep Mr.. lillian, who will leave here
next week, in the years to come when
! (for the writer is no seer) his name
shall! shine in the white lights of Broad
way, the people here can remember
that they saw and appreciated one Of
his earlier efforts.

PANAMA INTERNATIONAL

SAN FRANCISCO.-All records for
exposition attendance were broken Sat
urday at the opening of the Panama
Pacific International exposition. By
clock in the afternoon the turn
stiles had clicked off 225,000 admis-
sions, and it was expected that by mid
night the total would have reached
more than 100000. The previous rec
ord was at the opening day of the st..
Louis Worlds fair, 1878, in 1904.
The crowd was a spectacle in itself.

great courts and concourses, it poured

the hills to the bay, as far as the eye
could reach, in amending rivers of bob.

gayest city of the globe" To prove
it the crowd gave him titanic cheer.
AS the president 8 personal envoy,
Secretary Lane was heard with the
closest attention. The great throng
gave him the sincere compliment of
absolute silence. In the more solemn
passages of his grafton, the vibrations
of his voice stirred the audience in
sympathy.
Weather Threatening.
The day broke threatening and was
rainy. The enthusiasm of the crowd
seemed to burn away the clouds, and
by sunset there was scarcely cloud
