crates the manifold needs OF the men
temporarily placed in his care, and before
closing l wish to express our gratitude
and appreciation to our Warden, Mr.. ]. J.
Sullivan, who has greatly facilitated the
work of the Pierian Chautauqua.
To our Musical Director Mr.. r. ].
Reichkitzer, I extend our utmost thanks
for the valuable service he has rendered in
putting together this afternoons perfor-
nance. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
wish you all pleasant afternoon. 1
thank you.
After the address of welcome, the M. S.
+. orchestra rendered the overture, "Oueen
of Autumn" in their usual skilled and
artistic manner.
The Razz O Maniacs," the next num-
Der of the program was a duologue by
Messrs. c. M. w. and r. L. M. This
number aroused the risibilities of the
crowd and was received with great ap-
plause. Y'all dom otto hear dat man
w. ne sho' am some black face artist.
Every moment that passed made it more
evident that it was just a case of 4vily
and more willy.
Following the "maniacs'' we were en-
tertained by Mr.. M. I. in "Swede" mon
ologue that brought down the house. AL
though I. is his fame, no one would
accuse him of carrying an ivory head
piece.
The next number on the program con-
sisted of couple of solos by Mr.. w. 7.
McC. 1t is needless for us to make
any comment on Mr.. Noes. singing as
many of you have had the pleasure of
hearing him on numerous occasions, how
ever we must say that he was at his best
and the audience showed their apprecia-
ton by numerous encores.
"The Three original Chocolate Soldiers"
Messrs. S., M, and c., two Africans and
an Indian, certainly made hit and were
called forth several times. One instance
in which you could play sure thing re-
gardless of whether you played the black
or the red. This trio made us feel like
taking the carson to montgomery even if
it be summer.
The xylophone solos rendered by Mr., A.
c. were received by well merited ap-
plause. Mr.. c. is wonderful ambidex-
trous artist, fact that one would readily
understand, when you glance at the artists
name. Did you ever see man of his
nationality who could not handle his fists
beautifully?
An original article, entitled bringing
Up Husband" by Mr.. L. ]. w. was
read by the author. Mr.. w. said that he
had never brought up husband, but it
was evident to the hearers that he must
either have been brought up husband"
or that he has been in close association
with those who have brought up husbands
in order to be as familiar as he is with
the subject.
While the foregoing paper was being
read, Mr.. c. H. S., painted scenic picture
in oils Mr.. S. was at his best and the re-
sutant picture was work of art. Who
ever is fortunate enough to get that paint
ing willsecure treasure indeed.
"The Lost Hat" one act comedy, was
a master piece. The cast consisting of
Messrs. McC, L., p, F. and p, demon
strated the fact that we have, among our
inmates, dramatic talent of unusual ability
and versatility. Mr.. McC., proved that
that he not only could deliver an address
and sing, but that he was also at home in
The dramatic field. We always knew that
Nc. was coy but never until he lost his
nat were we were aware that he was shy.
Mr.. I. showed his versatility by play
ng the part of an Irish laborer and man.
