Highly Appreciated by a Big
House.

evening was the scene OF a most
interesting entertainment. the oc-
casion being the production of "A
Girl of the Golden West" and the
musical and dance numbers of the
Florodora sextette by actors and
actresses of the city. The play
and sextette were a revelation to
all in attendance. The play
,teemed with humorous situations,
with each tenth word a good,
hearty laugh. The capability of
each one taking part was delight
fully exempli6ed to a packed
house. Fosters orchestra rem
dered the musical numbers for
the play as also the dance which
followed. The music was very
much appreciated.
The play and sextette, which
was supervised and coached by
Mrs. M. H. Jefferson. was certain
ly credit to the teacher and to
all who essayed a part. The oc-

niece, combined plenty of aexi-
bility and ease to her elocution to
present herself very much ap-
,preciated heroine. Mrs. Beulah
Field as Lady Guinevere very
pleasingly delineated the charac-

that she familiarize herself with
the mannerisms and slang of the
western debutante.
Adam Faris very happily es-

His personality is best suited to
the character and needless to say
his efforts were very much appre-

~Crone in the role of Chauncey
'Dglethorpe. the bashful English
man and partner in a mine with
Kalston. was a scream. His as.
sumed bashfulness and English
mannerisms and accent kept the
audience in uproar every moment
he was before them.
