A Crowning Success.
With due recognition of the tnauy
successful social functions that
have been given iu North Platte in
the past, Tin: Tkiuukk pronounces
the Twentieth Annual May Party
of Division 88, Brotherhood ot Loco
motive Engiuecrs, given nt the
opera house last 'evening, tue
crowning success of them all. Iu
point of attendance and superb
electrical decorations was this
especially true. Never before had
such a large crowd of spectators
and dancers assembled iu the opera
house, and never before had the ball
presented such a brilliant appear
ance. The result attained was well
anted: it was the culmination of
lays of active work of b'ain and
hand on the part of the arrange
ment committee consisting of
Messrs. Iloler, Ell, Austin, P. A.
Norton and Douglas, aided by the
resourceful Fikcs and others.
They began the work with one end
m view the production of the most
elaborate public function ever given
in this city. That they attained
the coveted goal is unquestioned.
Iu pianning the electrical decora
tions tnc committee was assisted
by Manager Walker of the electric
light company and the color f-chemc
was most excellent. Extending
Irom the center of the ceiling to the
galleries on both sides were a dosun
colored streamers or arches thickly
studded with red, white and blue
incandescent bulbs, and iu the cen
ter hung a large globe covered
with tri-colored bunting and on
which were placed nearly one bun
dred white lights. The stage had
been transposed into a horizontal
pyramid made ol black cloth, the
front opening of which was the
-
size of the stage opening. At the
farther end of the pyramid w re the
letters B. of L. E. made ol white
globes, and extending trout t':e
opening to the apex were aloo tows
of lights. Th iH made a beautiful
view, especially from the galleiies.
From eight until nine o'clock
Hart's orchestra gave a couccrl,
and the half dcziii selections wer
rendered in such a man tier as to
call forth applause. The dance
music rendered throughout the
evening by thisorgauization proyed
highly satisfactory.
The grand march was called short
ly after nine o'clock, and with Miss
Orra Tracy and Master Harry
Smith as leaders executed a num
ber ot forms, at the conclusion ol
which quadrille sets were formed,
and from that hour until 3:30
o'clock this morning the twentv-
six dances followed each other
closely with the exception of the
hour taken fur supper at midnight
The attendance ot dancers filled
the floor rather closely, and more or
less jostling resulted, but the par
ticipants were in a happy mood and
took all interferences very good
naturedly. Many handsome gowns
were to be seen, flowers were in
abundance, and the floor scene was
a yery pretty one,
Among the attendants were peo
pie from Omaha, Cheyenne, Grand
Island and Kearney, and from them
were heard many complimentary
remarks relative to the decratione,
the nicety with which everything
was conducted and the apparent
high social standing of those
present.
Long will the Twentieth Annua
May Party live in the memory of
the attendants, and many have
been the compliments extended to
the members of the committees.
To Manager Walker ol the elec
trie light company is due much
credit for his untiring supervision
of the electrical decorations, and
the success which wan so creditable,
The display he made certainly had
a tendency to popularize electric
lights, not only for such occasions
but tor all lighting purposes.
The presentation of "The Tarn
ing ot the Shrew" on the evening
of the 9th is a theatrical event
of which North Platte people sel
dom have a chance to witness. The
company should be greeted by an
audience commensurate with the
value of the play and the excellence
of the company.

Manager Lloyd has given evi

best class of theatre-goers in this
city by booking Charles B. Han
ford iu the scenic revival of "The
Taming of the Shrew," which
will be seen at the opera liQiise
an May ytli. This play is re
gardctl by authorities as the most
amusing 'qf Shakespeare's com
edies. Thpre is no modern farce
which equals it in respect to
genuine fun- Nearly every line
in the play conceals a laugh and
every situation is a mine of mer
riment. As the dashing, roy
stering Petruchio Mr. Hanford
has scored, it is stated, the most
conspicuous success of his ca
reer. The role of Kathcrine
will bo portrayed by Helen
Orantly, who has already won
golden opinions for her portrayal
of this character both in Great
Britain and in this country . In
cluded in tho supporting com
pany are Marie Drofnah, lOmma
Hayner, William J. Shea, I ving
Knight, Roland Gibson, V. A.
Nannary, Harold Fiske, Paul
Anderson, R. O. Meech, L. W.

Tun is Pat end furious.
It is an agreeable change to
turn from the farces of the pres
ent day to the immortal comedies
of William Shakespeare. Iu the
latter class "The Taming of the
Shrew" is perhaps the best. Its
fun is fast and furious and once
seen it is not easily forgotten.
There never were a pair of lov
ers whose -actions have created
as much amusement as Kathcr
ine and Potruchio. It is a pleas
ure to note that the well known
Shakespearian star, Charles B.
Hanford, is appearing this sea
son in a revival of this delightful
old comedy. Mr. Hanford
should be admirably suited to
the role of Pctrucio. Miss Helen
Grantlcy, who is a stranger here
but whose fame has nevertheless
reached this city, will be seen as
Kathcrine. The production will
be given at the opera house on
Friday evening-, May 9th. A
complete scenic revival is prom
ised by the management, the
James B. Dclcher Company, and
the supporting company is said
to be one of the .strongest on the
road this season.

Chairman Rulgely, of the re
publican county central commit
tee, is sending out letters to the
members of tho committee ad
vising them of a meeting
of the committee on Mav
j
10 to select a date for the county
convention. It is probable that
the convention will be held on
June 7th, ten days ahead of the
state convention, and that the
necessary delegations to the
state, congressional, senatorial
and representative district con
ventions will be named at that
time; and a county attorney also
be nominated. This will do
away with the necessity of holding
two conventions. The nomina-
lion oi a county commissioner
will probably be made at a con
vention to be held at some con
venient point in the commissioner
district.
