ENTERTAINMENT THE FIRST.
The exhibition season opened anspici6usly last Thursday night when the academic de- partment preientcd t.o our large school audi- ence its first effort for the year. The platform was decorated artistically with autumn leaves, stands, and easels! the most cnhspicuous and interesting of wb~ch was the easel with dark blue background containing spoons, tool-racks, picture frames, etc., made by busy little wood workers in the sloyd de- partment. ..’ Overture Oriental by &I. Bieger, was t.he opeuing selection by the band. @everal of the new members need much more practice before the excellence of execution comes up to the high standard attained by the old band, but when one thinks of the berrible inharmony that we heard from the praotfw room but a month ago and compares%hose sounds to the present efZ’ort there is great reason for believ- ing tbat the performers will not he satisfied until t.hey have reached a degree of perfectiou for which the Carlisle Indian School band ie celebrated. The Boating Song was render$d by the entire school in unusual good tdhe, time and clear- ness of expression. Lydia Gardner. No. 10, could be heard even in ihe,back part of the room as she recited “The Young Scholar.” When the little normal pnpils came march- ing in, each carrying a small flag, and recited wirh marked &tinctness “Our Flag,” and then marched off again, keeping step to the pir+o, they received a round of applause. M,+ry Jane &-Jxtator, No. 1, took the place of Qeoyge Sheha and did well. Then the nimble Sugers of Mabel Huclr tril)ljed over the l)iallrb Keys in Dura.ud’s Valve iu YUC~ lively straiuti, :hat more than half of her hearers wautetl to get up aud dance. This solo was encored, but there was uo room for encores in such a full program. Needle Parker is’s No. 3 pupil, but every word she uttered was distiubtly heard as s11ia gpnke “The Laud of T~i~.lle People.,” in voice just trembling enougll to urake it lnterestil;g. Dennison \Vheelock’s band composition “From t5avagery into Civilizatiou,” given the eveuilig before at t,he auniversary exercises, was again rendered in fair style and wan highly appreciated. It is a descriptive piece well wrrrth hen.ring several times, but it seems t? the rvIan-a~~t,he-hnncl-stand’s uncyitical ear_ that the savagery enters some where about midway instead of the beginning. Rliss&rster explained the historical tableau which followed. Levi 1Villis was Wm. Tell’s son, and Alex. Upshaw held tbe bow in true statuesque style, which with the rest of the living picture consisting of bystanders in quaint costumes and spears, in the glow of the red footlights, produced a realistic scene froul the story of William Tell. Oscar Davis entertained the listeuers most charmingly in his recitation “Frog’s Ciootl- bye,” and he is a little No. 2 pupil. T,ouisa Cornelius and Wanada Parker No 14 girls gave a pretty recitation on “Autumn,” and then the choir sang “The Rliustrel l<oy” without piano accompaniment, which always sounds better. Frank Binhop, No. 4, told “Oue tiecret of Success.” Frank was a little friglitened but his exuression was excellent and he .war_de- liberate. When T,illv Cornelius. No. 5. showed “HOW the Lilies Grow,” there werk whispers ail around, ‘!I wonder if that,‘s the way she grew.” Laurendeau’s “Serenades” a duel by Joeeph Sdams, trombone, and Rbbert DePoe, bari- tone, saiisfied the ear of all music loving peo- ple preeent, although the harshness of the band accompaniment was a little grating some of the time. Thomas Grifi?u, No. 6, made every one laugh with his hits in an essay on Heus. When_ some hens which Mr. Kensler once brought from market had their heads cut off they jumped around lively and were scared todealh. Edith Miller. No. 7, was very earnest in her recitatiou ou “The thing you leave undoue,” and Clara C’ornelius, So. 11, waa extremely diguitied in her rendition of “\Vork, Watch, Wait.” Here the tension of listeuiug was relaxed when the school broke in with the “nlorning $ ” in this instance sung in the exeening. $:ziher tired or not, the pupils did not do credit to rhemselres in the renditiou of this song. The only piece that wasalmost a failure was the semi-tableau colloquy from So. S, on “The return of Columbus.” _A8 one of these pupils had been in the hospital much of the tim? that he should hare been preparing he is somewhat escusal)le. Tbe costume effect was not l)ad alrhough wrongcolored footlights were thrown on the scene to bring out the best effect. Louis Mishler, seuior, made a manly effort in his declamation on “Merchant,” but spoke too fast. “Thy word isa lamp,” eung by the choir closed the exercises. Capt. Pratt’s remaiks at the end were en- couraging, in that he thought that the acadern- ic department had made a good beginning. He spoke of the importance of learning to cx- press oneself clearly and understandingly. Ae it was the power of speech of the coinred orater that brought about the release of that race from slavery, .so he hoped that there would be Indian orators whose speech would break the bondage of reservation slavery.
