Ladies' Minstrel and operetta .
Wonderful Success
Mrs. Sara Jane Manlev certainly
won for herself a great many encomu-
inns by the splendid show that she
put on and directed at the Temple
Theater last Friday night. She ~dis-
covered and brought to the view OF
the public great deal of talent that
had hitherto been hidden from both
the eyes and the ears of people OF
! Ocala.
The principals in both the operetta
and the minstrel lost a certain amount
of their own individuality and became
unconsciously the roles they we're
portraying.
The first act was an operetta. n

act being an unusually pretty one.

This was the first appearance OF
Mrs. Connolly, as a scloist and from
her first number she won instant at
tentions and had to respond to a num-
Der of encores Miss Bullock, Mrs.
Futch and Miss Faucet, who have
been heard by Ocala audiences on
quite a number of occasions fully sus-
tanned the reputation they had already
made.
The ballet dance in this act by Miss
Callie Gissendaner and Miss Louise
Spencer was exceptionally pretty.
Graceful and pretty their dance was
one that could have easily brought
tears to the eyes OF many professional
ballerinos had any been present, butt
as it was they quite brought down
the house.
The japanese dance by these same
two young girls and Misses Lois
livingston and Kit Davis was also
very gracefully executed.
Between the operetta and the min
strel there were several specialties-.
The first was sunlit army drill parti-
