Show HAYDEN SOCIETY H WAS IN HARD LUCK - BBbI Bad Roads, Counter Attractions and ,, H Finally Failure of Light Mil- H itnto Against Them. H The Haydcn Society and other pco- BH pic of Parowan taking part in the ! H presentation of tho cantata, "The 1 M Coming of the King," which was giv- ' AH en in the tabernaclo last Wednesday BH evening, certainly lnbored under (lis- H advantages in bringing tho piece hero ns well as in the rendering of it. ' BH To commence with, tho roads were ' H in anything but a satisfactory con- dittion for automobile travel, and the ' H company had difficulty in getting suf- t M ficient enrs to make the trip. In tho I next place, thero was a big married r H people's danco on ut the ward hall, H which had been planned for some con- ' 'H sidernble timo ahead and could not be ! B postponed, and a special fcaturo on j at the motion picture theatre, which f M combined to dotract from tho attend- ! M ancc nt the cantata, and it is a well M known fact that musicians nnd other j 'BH performers cannot appear to tho best i'l advantage when tho audlenco is small M or irresponsive. But tho final limft )BBB was reached when the electric plant ' ' went out of commission, leaving the P.H room in darkness until oil lamps had B been brought from all parts of town, BBB which consumed a lot of timo and lost HBB the spirit of tho occasion for the ma- 'BBB jority of those in the audience, us well M as the performers. BBJ All theso drawbacks had u decided effect upon the opening chorus, which ft was not nearly so well rendered as IbBB SOmO of tho BUbscntinnf. mimlumi "'BBI when tho singers hnd regained their B poiso and humor. i';BB Whilo tho effect of tho picco could H have been very materially improved ?H by costuming and staging, the singing L Bfl was all that had been claimed for it, IBBl and did much credit to tho singers J? v JBB1 theitrainors.. .S t a'JH Wo sincorely trust thnt our Parowan tVBB friends will play in better luck upon' - wS their next appearance here.
