EVENING.
Then Is the time
For those whom wisdom and
whom nature charm
To sffnl themselves from tho

And soar above this little scene

To tread low thoughted vice be

To soothe the throbbing pas
sions luto peace
And woo lone quiet in her silent
walks.

ORATORIO IS
GREAT SUCCESS
Tile oratorio “Saint Paul," present
ed last Thursday evening at the First
Baptist church, was a success from
every standpoint. As an impressive
portrayal of Biblical history it was
elevating and inspiring. Presented
through the medium of a splendid
chorus, individually and severally,
it was a musicul triumph which af
forded pride as well as pleasure to the
audience, for it wns entirely by home
talent with the exception of one of
the tenors, Mr. Solon Drukcnmiller
of Atlanta.
The entertainment was given under
auspices of the Music Section of the
Woman’s Club. It wns a free offer
ing, the motive of which was to stimu
late interest in worthwhile music as
opposed to the transient and more or
loss degrading ragtime. The ap
preciation of the public wns shown by
an attendance which overflowed the
capacity of the building, there being
a large number who stood nt the en
trance and in the aisles throughout
the entertainment. The singers were
‘paid the compliment of. perfect at
tention from beginning to the" close
when there was a spontaneous ova
tion, a large number crowding to the
front to express their appreciation.
Although an attempt at individual
mention is awkward in view of the
fact that every one performed his or
her part perfectly, it is perhaps not
out of place to refer to the splen
did work of the soloists. Mrs. Jim
Bradfleld, Miss Linda Berry and Mrs.
Ahvyn Smith, among the ladies, and
Mr. Drukenmiller, Mr. Chilton Cole
man and Dr. Frank Ridley, Jr., among
the gentlemen, most creditably sus
tained their reputations.
/Mr. Drukenmiller’s superb tenor
voice proved a delightful revelation
to LaGrange people. He is consider
ed the best tenor in Atlanta and is
certainly one of the best that has
been heard in this city.
The complete cast to which the de
lighted audience will ever feel in
debted is as follows:
Sopranos: Mrs. Alwyn Smith, Mrs.
Jim ( Bradfleld, Mins Linda Berry, Miss
Zana Hunt, Mrs. Neal Harmon.
Altos: Mrs. Tracy Newton, Miss
Elizabeth Alexander, Miss Maidee
Smith, Miss Hallie Smith, Miss Lucy
Adams.
Tenors: Mr. Solon Drukenmiller,
Mr. Clifford Smith, Mr. John Strong,
Mr. Eugene Sperman.
Basses: Mr. Chilton Coleman, Dr.
Frank Ridley, Jr., Mr. I. F. O’Neal.
Accompanist: Miss Viola Burke. ■
Director: Mr. C. L. Smith.

new author.—Longfellow.

of the reading public is very
materially Influenced even by
the unsupported assertions of
those who assume a right to
criticise.—Macaulay.
Reviewers are forever telling
authors they can’t understand
them. The authors might often
reply. Is fhnt my fault?—J. C.
