ANOTHER DELIGHTFUL
EVENT FOR W0MAN'S CLUB

Before introducing lane Manner
for her second appearance before the !
Woman's Club yesterday afternoon, |
two Introductory musical numbers by
the daughters of the club were ar
ranged. The program opened with
a piano duct by the Misses Irma
Stern and Mari F~ritzinger. This
was followed by two vocal solos by
! Miss Ruth Jacobsen, accompanied by
Mrs. William H.. Hesscr. The pres
ident. Mrs. A. Clayton Clark, then
! introduced Miss tanner.
As an Introductory Miss Manner
spoke of the amusements for the
young and old that q city of this
size afforded It's residents. She spoke
about the kind of amusements and
benefits derived from attendance up
on one of these. Reading from the
EVENING NEWS h announced the
performances at the different thea
/ tres throughout the city and asked
why people went, and answered her
self by saying that they wanted
amusement and that was only Il
that popular favor promoted at pres
ent. II is up to the Women's Clubs
in the cities throughout the country,
she said to bring about at least one
amusement In each town of a higher
type, not necessarily the high brow
type, but the higher type.
In her second appearance here yes
terday Miss Manner introduced a
radically different type of reading
than upon her initial appearance she
read THE Great Galeotto" by Joe
Enchegaray.
THE Great Galeoto," Is the story
of gossip, pure and simple. malicious
and cunning. The story of the UNI
truth from which gossip usually origi-
mates: of tho great pushing, pressing
force that makes one and then another
believe that there is some truth In
It," Look they are Whispering to
each other" and other little seeds of
foul thought until finally h ones
having the most faith in the
start to see her totter from her pedes-
tai.
Miss Manner showed her ability in
| this reading to take her audience with
her way across the sea to sunny Mad
rid, to that old Spanish town of aris-
ltocracy, high society and that devilish
| serpent gossip. In and out OF the
homes of Madrid Miss Manner led her
audience showing the slowly weaving
motion o fthe serpent gossip until fin
Ially Ii coils for a spring and is knock
ed senseless by her defender, in this
, case her husband whose brother has
been repeating to him gossip which
was all over Madrid at that time con-
corning his wife and a son of his
4 4 III was living III NtO 1890
hold. The husband Knocked the SER
pent senseless but not dead as shortly
he comes to life with renewed vigor
and finally ever the husband accepts
1.-The ultimatum. The wife was inno-
cent-lies, circumstances and the
slowly weaving threads OF gossip pro-
nounced her guilty; she had no re-
u dress. Gossip may well be illustrated
by q quotation from the play III one
hundred people see you out once with
q person 1t is the same as being seen
tout a hundred times with him"
Miss Manners work was exceptional
She used none of the time-worn elo-
Icutfonist art but simply read the play
! with force and dramatic emphasis tax
ing the part of the different characters
in turn and changing from the pleading
wife to the condemning husband and
father with a rapid-fire tongue al
ways taking her audience with her.
