Mrs. R. G. Hemingray plays Mrs. Skimmerhorn in Lady Minstrel show

MERITED BETTER SUCCESS.

Kindergarten Benefit Minstrel Show

Not Well Patronized.

The second production of the Lady Minstrel show at the Wysor Grand last night was not nearly so well attended as on the occasion of the initial exhibition last Friday evening.

The ladies, every one of them, worked hard for the success of the affair to further the interests of kindergarten work in Muncie, and the entertainment they gave was peculiarly new and novel and was a rare treat that should have filled the house on both nights. Each part was taken exceedingly well, and all who attended are universal in the verdict that they could enjoy witnessing the program repeated six nights in one week.

The program was about the same as on the previous occasion with slight variations, but the jokes and many other new and admiring features were added last night. The parts were taken as follows last night:

Miss Douglass — Mrs. Eugene Kelly.

Miss Way Down Beebe — Mrs. George F. McCulloch.

Miss Heartburn — Madge Walling.

Miss White — Emma Case.

Miss Perkins — Sarah Hathaway.

Miss Harrison — Mrs. B. H. Whiteley.

Miss Blowhard — Mae Heath.

END LADIES.

Miss Johnson — Mrs. T. K. Heinsohn.

Mrs. Skimmerhorn — Mrs. R. G. Hemingray.

Miss Jackson — Mrs. E. M. White.

Miss White — Emma Case.

Interlocutor — (Miss Brown) — Mrs. H. H. Highlands.

QUARTETTE.

Miss Jenkins — Madge Walling.

Miss Dudley — Sarah Hathway.

Miss Montgomery — Emily Olcott.

Betsey Austin — Helen Smith.

Brother Gardner — Miss Parker.

Mrs. Robinson — Mrs. L. H. Hermann

Miss Jones — Eva Winchester.

Miss Sebastian — Josie Jones.

Bettie Ann Jackson — Mrs. Ed White.

ORCHESTRA.

The orchestra was led by Mrs. Hermann. The musicians were: Mrs. Whiteley, Miss Ohle Gill, Mrs. F. B. Nickey, Mrs. C. M. Turner, Miss Mea King, Misses Parker, Winchester, Jones, Wilderby, Mrs. Eberly and Miss Florence McNaughton.

A feature in the change in program was Miss Parker as the stump speaker, and her execution displayed the fact that she has another forte other than teaching, being well titled to take up the cause of women's rights should the op­portunity present itself, seen in this campaign. Miss Whitely was compelled to respond to three encores with her song, "The New Bully." Miss Highlands as a poetic interlocutor showed that her previous experience was beneficial in the important part she took, but this was the case with all.

Mrs. and Mrs. Heinsohn were reci­pients of handsome bouquets. Miss Jones was given an exceedingly warm reception by the admiring audience of her display of skill with the violin to the gratification of her instructor, Prof. Damm. Miss Walling and Miss Hatha­way, new adults on the program, did not exhibit the least bit of stage fright as each had anticipated. Not only the show was good, but the burnt cork was fine, and much pleasure was derived by the participants had they been more successful financially. It seems that the receipts should have been more liberally distributed to the ladies.
