TUESDAY NIGHT
To Be An Eventful One For
Gainesville.
A large number of seats have been
subscribed to for the Brehany Company
which appears here Tuesday night.
The company is one of the finest that
has ever been in the South and a treat
is in store for all who go. The fol
lowing extract was taken from the
Waco, Texas Times-Herald of December
28: The concert at Colonial hall last
night under the auspices of Lodge No.
140. K. of P., was a most delightful
affair, and the fortunate attendants
were thrilled with the exquisite music
furnished by the Louise Brehany.Ballad
and Opera Company. The house was
comfortably filled, and the night being
pleasant and the acoustics of the hall
first class, the renditions were enjoyed
with repeated demonstrations.
Miss Brehany as a singer has few
superiors, and her appearance last
night was a signal for applause, which
was given with vim. * Miss Pringle,
the charming violinist* captured the
audience, too. This little lady can do
what many noted violinists never did,
namely: Master the difficult parts
without destroying the melody. The
great complaint of modern music is
that the demand is for execution at
the expense of melody. Miss Pringle
has overcome the difficulty.
W. Guillaume Souyelet, the eminent
pianist, was even better than repre
sented. His piano solo was sublime.
He is an artist of rare ability.
Mr. George Dethlefs, the baritone,
Walter Herbert Wheatley, the tenor,
and Miss Jessie Waters, mezo, are
artists, who can charm an audience
anywhere, and they did their part well
last night.
The entertainment closed with the
second act of Flotow’s opera, “Martha,”
with
Louise Brehany as Lady Harriet
(Martha;, a lady of rank.
Jessie Waters, as Nancy, her maid.
Mr. Dethlefs, as Plunkett, a wealthy
farmer.
Mr. Wheatley, as * Lionel, his foster
brother.
Scene: Hall in farm house.
A Lowry Bale Here.
Mr. C. S. Webb has op exhibition at
the store of the Hynds Company this
week a Lowry bale of- cotton. It
weighs 250 pounds, is cylindrical in
form, 36 inches loDg and 18 inches in
diameter, making it convenient to
handle. It is covered with cotton
bagging with a draw string at the ends
so that it does not have to be cut m
sampling. The bale can be shipped at
less cost than the old style, about four
times more of it being put in a car
than the big bale. Inman <fc Co., of
which Mr. Webb is the Gainesville
representative, will pay forty five cents
per hundred more f6r cotton packed in
the Lowry bale than the old style
packing. Mr. Webb is considering
putting up a seventy saw gin with the
new Lowry press attachment in
Gainesville, and very probably it wil
be erected in time for ginning the cot
ton of this section next season.
