Show LEWISTON, IDA. (Special Correspondence.) Concerning the theatrical performance, perfor-mance, which was rendered by the pupils pu-pils of St. Stanislaus' school, the Lew-istown Lew-istown morning Tribune in its Issue of Feb. 13, says: "Notwithstanding the very cold snap of last Saturday, a very appreciative crowd of patrons attended at-tended the evening performance at the Binnard opera house , to witness the two dramatical pieces rendered by the pupils of St. Stanislaus' school for the benefit of the new Catholic church. For those who had the good fortune to be present they certainly had a very fine treat from those juvenile performers, which would do credit to any town larger lar-ger than Lewiston. It was evident from the continued applause and encores en-cores given by the patrons that Iheir expectations were more than fully realized, and all certainly felt proud at this local talent, which was. well developed and showed great care from their teacher, Mr. P. Moore, S. J., whose whole heart and soul wan m that "successful "suc-cessful production. Many a hearty, i laugh was elicited from the so-called aspirants to the "Public Benefactors" purse, the proceeds of which he was unwilling to disemburse, even if he had the satisfaction to see his name in the press, lauded up to. the skies; and certainly his pride over such was truly humiliating. That piece certainly contained a good moral in our common parlance, viz: Never to blow your own trumpet too often. It was an object lesson to all. , Tho second production; "The Enchanted En-chanted Violin" was truly a hit. The juveniles were at their best in this, and the audience enjoyed the up-to-date Colomon, the Jew, who was truly enchanted by-little Ico. It was to be regretted that the actors labored under un-der the disadvantage of the poor light, a burden shared by all the people in town that night, as other wise their attitudes would have been displayed; however, passing over that, it was certainly cer-tainly a delightful treat, which was pleasantly enjoyed by all, and all expressed ex-pressed the desire that it sould be repeated re-peated again as soon as possible, thereby encouraging our native rising talent. The young ladies- who gave such a delightful musicale on the piano helped very much to make the production a success.'' In conformity with the public demand, de-mand, the pupils of St. Stanislaus' school repeated tbeir dramatical last Friday evening at the Binnard opera house in the presence of a very large audience. For this" occasion all proved more favorable than the first appearance; appear-ance; all were delighted at the programme pro-gramme set before them. "The troublesome troub-lesome servant" kept the audience in good humor as, it reminded them of "Handy Andy." From the proceeds a handsome sum was realized for the new church, and it will gratify the juveniles ju-veniles later on when the handsome stained windows are placed in the church, that they were the means of donating some of them. The parents were delighted over the success of their children, and too much praise cannot be given to those responsible for this great success. PROGRAMME "Roses of Life" Chorus A TROUBLESOME SERVANT.
