We have received an invitation from the Augusta Dramatic Club to be present at the rendition of Sheri dan Knowles’ beautiful play, “ Thc- Wife,” on the night of the 10th of June. The troupe have secured the aid of Miss Gertrude Johnson, of Charleston, whose amateur acting has been pronounced as superior to many professionals. The Augusta Keening Neir.\ in speaking of the performance says: “Altogether the performance, promises well, and the people of Au gusta will show their appreciation of Augusta Amateurs by a crowded hearing of “ The Wife.” The costumes that the club have received are very fine, iu fact, are pronounced by those well acquainted with the stage business, the finest ever seen on the stage. The young gentlemen composing this organization of amateur dramatic stars have spared no pains or expense in fixing up for a grand affair, and the appearance made by litem on the evening of their appearance will justify a large and enthusiastic audi ence in attending. The scene of the play is laid in Mantua, and under the soft Italian skies these actors will do full justice to the play. A full cast lias been made up front the very fins material in the dub, and everybody is expect ing a regular treat. If the clnb would consent to ap* pear before the foot-lights in Athens we believe they would be welcomed by a crowded house.

No one could have been selected to impress upon the. audience the pleasures we were about to enjoy better than herself. We al ways like to start out pleasantly, even though we may meet discomforts in our way. But a happy beginning but adds to the pleasure when, as in this case, all was unexceptionable. The recitation of Mr. llugaly evinced rare elocutionary powers, which have been arefully cultivated. “ Pretty as a picture,’ - by Miss Belle Harris, was a rare treat.
