SuccessmL Profluc 101 'Aunt Hmnah'sQuilt ing Party" Last Evening. For Horn lit of Christ Church A New and Novel ICut rtalnmtut to he Hero All Next Vrk-llap In t'oDterloui'H 3If tropolta. 'Calumet local ta!ent again demonstra ted its ability to give an entertainment of coneid rable more than ordinary men tion last evening, when " lunt Hannah's Quilting Party" was presented to an aud ience that was as thoroughly pleased os it was enthusiastic at the Opera House. The opening scene was the quilting which took pi ice in Aunt Hannah's kitchen, where the "nimmiu folk" meet and fimh the quilt. Gossiping was the principal feature of t Lis act. The nxt scene the "partners" of the married women appear and partake of the sup per in primitive fashion and theyounj: folks arrive in the Itjt scene and every body goes in for a good time in ye old stile. Miss Lewis, as Aunt Hannah, and Mr. Shepard. as Uncle lia, both took their parts very well, while Aliss llogers, as llecky Todd, who bad great trouble with her hearing, and Mrs. Mertbn, the widow who wanted a busband, were also good. The other members of the cast were well up in their parts and the whole entertainment went otf without a hitch of any kind. In the last act several mas- ' ical numbers, including a selection "In the Old Kentucky Home," by Mr. Shep ard, "Ben Bolt,?' by Miss Childs. and a number by Mr. Bishop, in which all joined in the chorus, was rendered and proved one of the best parts of the even ing a entertainment. Miss Lewis and !re. Merton also "spoke pieces" to the delight of the audience and the entertain ment closed with the Virginia reel and all 8inging"Aunt Hannah'sQuilting Party." The young people who had charge o' ths entertainment, particularly Miss Lewis and Miss Parmenter, deserve great credit for their hard work and efforts to make the entertainment the success it was.
