PRICpffi CENTS AMITY MINSTRELS DRAW LARGE CROWD A Well Rendered Program, Pleasing Electrical Kirects and AVltty Hay ings of the Itliuk Men Hold Attention of Audience Anil the Hand Played On! Young Dorln, a Wonder. The Amity club produced their (Minstrel show at the Lyric on Thurs day evening and in every way it was a very credible performance. Every seat in the theatre was taken and the large crowd was well pleased with the way the parts were taken. It was one of the largest crowds that the Lyric has ever held. The electrical effects and scenery Avere designed and constructed under the. personal supervision of Benj. II. Dlttrich. The stage wns very artis tically decorated in the Amity colors. The Lyric orchestra was seated in the wings of the stage. The visitors were seated back of the center of the stage while the Japanese maids occupied the center of the stage, seated at tables, streamers 'being hung from eaeli side to a largo Jap anese umbrella suspended from the top of the stage and this was stud ded with Incandescent electric bulbs. To the back of the stage a large wheel decorated in Amity colors and also studded with elec tric bulbs, was hung and was kept slowly revolving. The performance began with a song, "Drifting to Old Japan," by the entire company and during the song the name of the Club was suspended, letter at a time, illuminated and in the club colors. The letters when completed spelled A-IM-I-T-Y. The opening chorus by the Japanese maids and tourists was well received. The Japanese maids were Miss Margaret Eberhardt, Miss Jane Hagainnn. Miss Florence El dred Miss Eda Krantz, Miss Luclle (Rowland. Miss Gertrude Krantz, Miss Mae Robinson. Miss Philippine Klein and Miss Mary Bodie. The tourists were Messrs. Bummer Cross ley, Ray D'bbie. Louis Korb, F. A. Jenkins, Nathaniel Eggleston, Paul Bonner, Vincent Carroll, George B. Jlockweli. The trap drums were maninulnted by Master (Robert Dorin. and he is a wonder for his age. Young Dorin will some day be one of Honesdalo's best musician:;, for ihe Is on the right track to make a great man in the musical line. Mr M. J. Hanlan. the Admiral. gave a short address to the tourists and Japanese maids in which he por trayed his explorations In Africa. He produced his six funny sailors for few minutes' entertainment. They wore Jack Carroll, Bob Dorln, Cap. (Rowland. Tom Charlesworth, Tom lveuy, 1'iarence Ureen. After the fun and laughter occasioned by the witty discourse of the sailors had subsided. Nathaniel Eggleston sang, "On the Goodwins. This was followed by a song, "It Looks Like Something the Cat Brought In," by Jack Carroll. He was heartily ap plauded and encored. Tim Charles worth next entertained the assem- .1.1 ...I1L . I . . . . . . uiagu hiiii ins song nil, i ll JjOVO lo Lead a Military Band." The rest of the program followed, a song by (Paul Sonner, "There's a Mother Old and Gray Who Needs iMe Now." "That Hypnotizing Man," by 'Row land and Dorin was well rendered. K 1 T , TT tuiaa June uugiiiiiun came next on me program and accompanied by the Japanese girls, she sang, "Ring Ting-a-Ling on the Telephone." The solo, "My Old Town." Given by George B. Rockwell, was a fitting climax for the first part of the pro gram and he was heartily applauded. After a crand finale hv tho ontlro company the curtain fell on the first part. In the second nart of the nrnernm Dorin & Carroll came in for their sliare of the fun producing and their i act, "Up Against It," showed that they possess no little ability in the art of acting. Jenkins Boy Band rendered two selections. They wore their new sailor uniforms for the first time The Geruellos In their thrilling comedy wire act brought the program to an end amid loud ap- IllUUbU The production of the Minstrels bv the Amity club reflects great credit upon them for the great success of the undertaking. Manager DIttrloh of tho Lyric also deserves much praise for the efficient and tasty Btage decorations, scenic and electri cal effects ' Manager iDIttrich also deserves praise by having the orchestra play louder and by closing the doors when the gong announced a lire before tho performance had closed. If the spec tators had heard the alarm of fire thero would, In all probability, have been a stampede for the exits, but such was not the case. A few per sons however suspected what was go ing on, but wisely remained In their seats. We cannot speak too hlirhlv of the manner in which tho different parts were reproduced by the members of the company. Tho various nxmnnii did fine and displayed a talent, that In our estimation, exceeded by far iruvuuug iroupes. miss Margaret Eberhardt Is deserving of special mention. She was graceful in her manner, coquettish In her actions and pleasing In her expression. Miss Eberhardt Is ono of tho stars of tho first magnitude. An unusual amount of credit Is also due J. A. Bodle, Jr.. who drilled tho choruses.

Members of tho Grand Army of the Republic, Sons of Veterans and Soldiers of "Cuba Free": It has fallen to my lot to address you on this annual occasion. Gladly do 1 respond to tho appointment. My only regret Is, that it is not in my power to discharge the duty as satisfactorily as the occasion would seem to demand. 'So much has been said, written and published on tho subject to bo treated and Its various aspects have been so fully discussed, thnt It Is hardly possible to find an untrodden path or to avoid repeti tion. It Is a common Instinct of civiliz ed man and not without sanction of God to recur to Important events and beginnings and to mark and em phasize particular times and seasons for their special commemoration. Our calendars both secular and sacred are dotted hero and there with rotations of anniversaries. From tho days of Moses and Joshua, not only overy seventh day, but ovory seventh year also was hold sacred by all faithful Israelites; wlillo tho seven times seventh ushered In the grand year of jubilee. And slnco to day we are not under Law, but under Grace, there would seem to bo divlno sanction for us in tho exerciso of our Christian and civil liberty, to Imitate some of those ancient observances and setting apart certain days for devout commemoration and jubila tion, over incidents and events In our national history, especially in view of tho unparalleled Immigration to our shores of thoso who aro unac quainted with our Institutions and unfamiliar with tho great cost of our liberties.
