Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1920-04-27

Perry was Honora Riley, the political
boss. Then Bernie sSheehan was
Clarence, the Boss charming son and
Jack Hanson was Reginald Reming-
ton, the poor wronged man. The
plot was a thriller. but it would be
disappointing to tell it, for those who
are planning to go this evening to
the second presentation of the Sec
ond annual MINISTRIES might be dis
appointed. Suffice it, to say, gentle
reader, this alone is worth the price
of admission.
William G. Bunker told us about
some Burning Topics of the Day"
as the program said, but he talked
mostly about the evolution of man,
mentioning for the most part. wo-
mans share in it. He said Adam
bit into an apple because he was
tempted by peach and his troubles
have been coming ever since in pairs.
Bunk" is a funny fellow anyway
and it's always fun to hear him talk
but Monday evening he had lot of
interesting things to tell about and
that made him all the more enter
tanning. - ae-. !
The concentrated fun Of the eve
ming began when the MINISTRIES were
opened in the second act. The, stage
setting was very artistic. the deep
red roses, blending to perfection with
the 1--WE didn't say red noses) black
and white striped trousers. the other
red coats of the men in the middle
and the side curtains. 1t was a very
pretty picture and the clever ar
rangement Of the orchestra on the
stage was a decided asse..
Judge Benedict +. Maher was in
terlocutor and he made q very good
one, maintaining his position with
dignity. introducing the soloists in
original manner and Strengthening
out the end men, when they had
stories to tell.
The end men were John E. Hanson.

THE Juvenile Bride and Groom" in
Mr.. GAS song Here Comes the
Bride although quite the smallest peo-
pie on the stage, We're among the big
gest hits of the evening. Little Miss
Christine Marie Hanson and Master
Henry a. Brann were the Bride and the
Groom and the diminiutive charm Of
these little tots created much enthus-
iasm, they being called and recalled to
the stage.
My Tambourine Girl" as posed by
Miss Hilda Bangs, when Mr.. Lizotte
rendered the song of the like title, was
one of the pretty features of the second
part of the entertainment. She appear
ed at the rear of the stage, high UP,
CARRIED in the Salvation Army costume,
and the pose was an effective one.
This evening. the same show Will be
given, and while they do sa. that prac-
tice makes perfect, there didn't seem
to be any CHARGE for Improvement in
the show Of Monday evening
