Opera ll-tue.
"Injun Evening" under the aus
pices of the ladies' Lewis and
Clark Club, of Independence was a
delightful affair witnessed by a
large audience at tha opera house
Saturday evening.
The entertainment was opened
with a Hiawathan piano solo by
Master Johnnie Stark, followed by
an introductory address by Rev.
Thompson of the Presbyterian
church. The "Wooing of Hiwatha"
was delivered bv Miss Burke and
"Laughing Water," prettily render
ed as a solo, by Mies Inez Stark.
The male quartet consisting of
Frank Mastereon, Win. Barnett,
Wm. Walker and Mr. Burton
made a hit in the rendition of the
Indian song "Sohalla Close Illehee."
Miss Sadie Cravens singing of
"Ramona" brought an encore and
her rendition of "The Owl aod the
Moon" was no loss ilaHing. Miss
Burtoa held the undivided atten-
tion of the audience with the red-
I
tation of "Sucajawea" and Mrs.
E. E. Paddock was called back,
after singing "Saciijawea's Lullaby."
"Ten Little Injuns" dressed as
Siwashea convulsed the audience
with laughter with their Hinging
and comical maneuvers and had to
reppond to an encore. Thone coin
posing the juvenile tribe wore:
Dick Babbitt. Ted Cooper, Johnnie
Stark, Charlie Burton, Edward
Ilartman, Kersey Eldri.lgo, Mau
rice Butler, Leo Fluke, Jerome
Reese, Olin Whiteaker and Johnnie
Morgan. MrB. J. S. Cooper pre
sided as master of ceremonies.
After the literary feature, refresh
ments were served by Indian
maidens. The characters were all
made up as Indians, and the novel
ty of giving an Indian cast to the
exercises proved a happy selection
on the part of the ladies' of the
club.
