Swearing that his sin Is not in marrying three wives, but in be ing found out, Mordaunt, with a gal lant gesture, shoots himself and falls w "w " ' : I Other members of the cast are Miss Mae Stearns, who plays the part of the minister; Miss Sarah Williamson, aumicj. w buy wop WM.wut mother of tho bride; and Mrs. Homer Leffel, father or the groom. - The stage represented the parlor of a home of the period. Preceding the wedding, Mrs. Sher wood Williams sang "The Fatal Wed ding," which reeks with sentimen tality. ' ; ' A skit, with the time in the sum mer of 18&4, was arranged by Miss Ruth Margaret Hall and presented by E. F. Heassler, Miss Nell Mahaffey and Mrs. Beatrice Young. In the production their conversation, while, they met at the home of Mrs. Wig gins on Sunday afternoon, shows the contrast in the price of living, morals and other conditions of 1890 and 1033. Jean White, as ,the young daughter of Mrs. Wiggins, presents an elocution number, "The Curfew ShaU Not Ring Tonight." ' Bicycles were held responsible for the decline In church attendance and In morals among the younger genera tion, and while a vocal chorus sang "On a Bicycle Built For Two," Miss Eileen Morelock, as the girl, and Miss Myrtle Hoyfc, as the man, peddled in on their . bicycles. It was a clever stunt. The program was opened by the audience singing ''When the Roll is Called Up Yonder," a typical 1890 hymn, after which a sextet, - com-; posed of Mrs. Ray Fuller, Cora Hard ing Scott, Mrs. Sherwood Williams, Mrs R. F. Tyler, Mrs. H. C. McClay and Mrs. A. W. Nelson, accompanied by Miss Helen Williams, sang "After The Ball" and "On the Banks of the Wabash." All were In costume. Miss Mabel Doty gave a Clevel and brief talk In which she present ed the high lights of the period, the delightful and romantic period of the Gibson girls and the clean shaven, broad shouldered men who sent the moustache out of vogue and made tailors pad the shoulders of coats. Miss Doty stated. In literature, the authors were turning away from the English pattern and a true American literature was coming into Its own with Mark Twain, Mr. Dooley, George Ade, Booth Tarklngton, Laura Jean Lfbby and the lure of the dime novel. Ther nineties made up the flower ing time in American drama, Miss Doty added;, with unimportant, auth ors, but great actresses Ellen Terry, Mrs. Flske, Richard Mansfield, Julia Marlow, Maude Adams were delight ing their, audiences, and In every hamlet in. the country "Uncle Tom's I'l k Cabin" was being played by stock companies. The nineties were also the days of touching and sentimental songs, "Af ter the Ball," and Sousa, the great band leader, was reaching his prime, receiving $90 for his rights to "Stars and Stripes." A wedding reception was held af terwards, In spite of the fact that the wedding did not go on, and the bride, Miss Thursby, presided' at the table, the center of which was a large wedding cake.
