DIENCE ENJOY LOCAL TAL
| ENT PRODUCTION.
; Mrs. M. H. Harper won fresh lau
rels in the presentation Friday eve
‘ning of her latest production, “The
;Baby Specialist,”” a four-act drama
‘played to a packed house. The cast
iof characters included local talent,
a number of the young girls and
‘boys interpreting their respective
parts in a highly creditable manner.
The musical numbers under the di
rection. of the Misses Allen of the
orchestra, with Miss Martin at the
piano, were well selected and con
tributed largely to the success of the
evening’s entertainment. The open
ing piece, a violin solo by Miss Ma
mie Callaway, was well received.
I The play, while holding the inter
est of the audience, carried a fine
moral tone. Miss Ruth Flynn’s im
personation of the ante-bellum type
of negro servant was exceedingly
clever, her every appearance being
’generously applauded, while Miss
Minnie Hatcher carried through a
’difficult role, the poise and grace of
‘the well-bred young woman true to
‘her ideals in the midst of distract
-ling environment.
_Each of the actors did his or her
bit in keeping the audience well
'pleased.
| Mrs. Harper’s appearance as Mrs.
’Coleson, a Northern tourist, gave
a bit of superb acting enthusiastical
'ly applauded.
| The hit of the evening was “The
| Colored Ban’,” a jolly bunch of pick
ianinnies whose dancing brought
ldown the house. So insistent was the
Ihandclappin;r they were forced to ap
! pear several times. ‘“Eyes, Eyes,
| Naughty Eyes,” composed by Mrs.
IHarper, was charmingly rendered by
|a group of girls. Equally enjoyable
{was the boys’ chorus, “Slumber, Dear
}est,” yvet one of the very best fea
| tures of the evening was the solo by
| Mr. Floyd Jennings, ‘“Wrap Me in
’the Dear Old Flag, Boys.” The sing
|er was greeted by a storm of ap
i plause.
