Esmeralda.
On Monday evening tho Ludies of
tho Maccabees, assisted by some
gentlemen friends, presented the
comedy drama "Esmeralda, or Noith
Cnrliux Folks," to an audience that
tilled the opera house The char
actors in tho play wore taken by local
amateurs, who acquitted themselves
in a very creditable manner. Tho
specialities between the acts were very
pleasing to tho largo audience Be
tween tho llrst and second acts little
Miss Marcolino Longtin sang "I'm
Always in tho Way," accompanied on
tho piano by Miss Wert, and was
heartily encored At the end or tho
second act K. 1). McFadden, a travel
ing salesman whoso home is in Hast
ings, gave u very clover negro mono
logue, and in respouso to tno encore
sang a negro melody tho burdon of
which was "I may bo crazy, but I ain't
no fool," his wife playing tho piano
accompaniment. Ho was again ro
called, and this time sprang u surprise
upon tho audience in tho nature of a
really now joko. At tho close of tho
third act Mrs. C II. Kaloy sang two
pretty little songs which pleased tho
audience.
It would bo dillieult to say which of
the characters in tho play were receiv
ed with most favor. A. B. Ritchey,
who took tho part of "Elbert Rogers,"
father of tho heroine, it was conceded
by nearly ovoryouo, displayed tho most
dramatic talent. Miss Ella Cook, as
tho heroine, 'Esmeralda Rogers," car
ried hor part with grace and skill.
Houry Clark, who took tho part of
"Davo Hardy, ' tho backwoods lover of
"Esmeralda," demonstrated that ho
was not lacking in oxporieuco in tho
art of love-making. Dr Nellie Mauror,
as "Ijj'dia Ann Rogers," tho soured,
avaricious and ambitious mother of
the heroine, could give pointers to tho
leading ladies or many of tho "ten
twenty thirty" shows now on tho road.
Harry Engols made a good "Jack Des
mond," while Misses Emma Craves
and Edytho Crowell, who took the
parts of "Kate" and "Nora Desmond,"
sisters or "Jack," did exceedingly well.
George Hadell, Judge Keenoy, Shor
wood Albright aud Mrs. C II. Kaloy,
who were "Mr Esterbrook," "Georgo
Drew," "Marquis do Montossin" and
"Sophia," in tho order named, tilled in
the remainder of tho cast in a very
creditable manner
The entertainment was a lluancial
success, netting tho L O T. M a neat
sum above their expenses, which will
enable them to clear up their indebted
! uess.
There aro also two or three good char
acter studies-notably the so-called
hair-wit "Andy Maroke," who holds
tho place or hero, and "Buiglar Bill
Smith." whoso "t'umb nail is made
'tired'" by tho wicked deeeilf illness
or his chief partner in villainy

"A Homespun Heart."

drama, was originally rough-hown by
Hal Roid, who has a faculty for put
ting together stiigo scones that express
with singular effectiveness primitive
and homely truths of life, coupled
with moments of dramatic power.

elaborated and staged tho play, but it
bears the familiar Roid earmarks, not
forgetting tho Christmas festival aud
reintroducing characters that wo moot
in all tho plays that have originated
with thoerratic.iuvontor or this. Mr.
Roid is one of tho fow dramatic au
thors that know how to treat what
may bo called sacred incidents without
becoming maudlin or suggesting blas
phemy, or somo kindred offense. For
example, ho has introduced iu "A
Homespun Heart" u scene or family
worship and so managed itasto arouso
iu tho mind of tho spectator a feeling
of revoronco and a souse of personal
and deep sympathy with the simple
