Considering the fact that the chorus, the soloists and the drill girls had less than two weeks to leant and present their re spective roles, they all done exceedingly well and everyone in attendance went home well pleased with the entertainment. Th e prospects are good for a larger attendance this evening than on the first night, many having expressed their intention of attending a second time, while a great many remained at home 011 account of the heavy rains. Much of the credit for the splendid manner in which the united chorus and soloists did their work is due to the efficient dril ling and training of Prof. Martin 15. Robinson, the director, and there is not a memlier of the large cast but what feels amply repaid for their efforts and laliors by the splendid course of in structions and training they haveTreceived. This article would not lie complete without mention of some of the sjiecial work in the cast and in this connection we want to say that J. m . I sham interpreted the role of King Helshazzar admirably. He has a strong, rich baritone voice and g<xxl articulation, hence his solo work was most pleasing. Mrs. J. (1. Van W in k le, a squ een , won uni versal praise for the excellent manner in which she sustained this prominent role. She has a strong, clear, and sweet soprano voice and her difficult solos were executed with ease and in a most pleasing manner. Dr. J. <1. Van W in kle, as Daniel, inter preted his difficult role with much credit to him self and sung the high tenor solos in a most gratifying manner. Mrs. H . O . Thompson, as lady of the court executed the pretty alto solos in a most pleasing maimer, her voice lieiug particularly adapted to this role. She received much praise for her good work. Clarence Mores, as I.ord of the court, car ried out his part well and demonstrated the fact that he has a good tenor voice and is not afraid to use it. Miss Maude lilair as the Jewish maiden, won the highest compliments in her very impres sive contralto solo at the side of the sleeping Daniel. Her voice is rich and mellow ami her pose was excellent. T*. II. Hall, as the high priest, made a splendid character and his heavy bass voice was well adapted to his solo role. lie done well. Mrs. Harry Hrehaut, as the angel, in the call to arms solo, won the admiration o f all. She lias a splendid soprano voice, which she dis played to good advantage. The Jewish maidens duet by Misses Mary Mtmdy and Nora Heebe was fine, as was also the Jewish maidens trio bv Mesdames Hattie Hart, \V. C. Conner and A . Hruud. C.« S. Cochran as Cyrus, King of 1’ersia, presented a fine apjiearaiice as did also the four little ladies as the k in g ’ s cup liearers and the two little tots as queen's train bearers. In fact the cast, with its georgeous gowns was well sus tained all the way through, and too much credit cannot lie given Miss t'.eorgetta Herg, who pre sided at the piano in such a proficient manner in the solos, drills and chorus. Her task was great, but she performed it well. CAST OF C H A R A C TE R S Helshazzar, King of Babylon , . J. m . I sham Nitocris, the O u e e u ___.M rs. J. (). Van W inkle Daniel, the Prophet Dr. J.
