The Artesian City Dramatic As
sociation presented on the 14th the
play "Ten Nights in a Bart oom.”
There were seven whites present
abouta hundred and fifty colored to
see the play and the club acquitted
themselves so much like profession
al actors there was a petition, from
the best citizens both white and
colored for a reproduction which
was played on the 21st. Long bo
fore the hour for the play to begin
the house was crowded with an anx
ions throng to see the play begin.
At nine o’clock the curtain rose
and everything was still, the utmost
quietness prevailed that you could
hear a pin fall throughout the
play. There was not the naed of
any officer to preserve order as the
actors held them spell-bound
btoughout the play to see such at
tainments of the theatrical skill im
planted in the Negro race. C. 11.
McCarthy as “Switcha” was as nat
ural as old “Sample Switchel” him
self was hailed with applauses
whenever he appeared. Too much
praise cannot be said of 11. O.
Waters as “Joe Morgan” for he
was having them as natural as
the original “Joe” could himself.
The talk of all the town is let ns
know when you get ready to pLy
again and their presence will always
greet our hall. F, W. McCartliv
deserves especial mention as he did
not get the chance to practice at
the time having a sick child at
home but was just as ‘ Romaine’
could be. Al 1 played their parts
well. But little Jodie Lewis, Ji>e
Morgan’s daughter played as if -h >
was a born .actress. Cast of char

There was not an error on the
part of any one all played as if
they were a regular troupe. There
