" a aig “The Deacon” Faultlessly Presented Briliant Acting—Superb Music — — Delighted Audience. ee There was never a more delighted Greenville audience than the one which assembled in the Opera House Friday night to witness “The Deacon,” a charming drama presented in a most charming manner by the Greenville Amateurs under the management of Miss Sallie Lipscomb. The RerLecToR having had some insight as to what was in store for our people, had for several days been telling its readers what ‘they might expect, and it is a pleasure to be able to state that no one was in the least disappointed, put on the contrary all were more than delighted. Throughout the entire pertormance there was not a dull scerte or an uninter- esting moment, and even the most cri- tical could not detect a flaw in the man- ner in which the several parts were ren- dered. Ollen Warren as “Deacon Thornton,” who possessed a nassion for iemonade with a stick in it, and a still greater fondness for making love, just caught everyvody with his impersonations of the old man. As usual he was well up in his character and created roars of laughter. His voice reminded us of say those well-known lines of Uncle with credit and it is always a pleasure H. W. Wheddee as “George Graef” was splendid. Being unjustly shad- owed with a crime he showed fine tact removing the stigma from his own char- acter, ferreting out the real criminal and rescuing an intended bride from a life of misery. G. E. Harrison as “George Darrah,” the villian, sustained his sida of the play passed. Her acting all through was of the highest order. Miss’ Novella Higgs as “Helen,” Mrs, Thornton’s daughter, was charming every time she appeared. As the bride in the wedding scene she was beauty itself, and made half the male portion of the audience wish they had been in the villain’s place for the marriage cer- emony, minus the interruption. «Miss Amelia Faucett,” Mrs. Thorn- ton’s maiden sister, was represented by |_ Miss Sallie Lipscomb. This was a difficult part, but Miss Lipscomb sus- tained it in a manner that would have been ereditable'to a star who had been many years before the footlights. ‘Her costume was simply gorgeous, and she was perfection as an old maid, not specially averse to a little love making from The Deacon. In the role of old maid she was no less popular with the audience than she is with our people as a young lady off the stage. Little Miss Nina James as “Nellie,” George Darrah’s dese ted daughter, was as cute as could be and rendered her part as well as any child we ever saw. Pete exerted himself on her in trying to amuse and make her laugh, furnishing her with sweets in his en- deavors. Butit was nogo. She ate his candy and looked at his pictures and cigarettes, but not a laugh did he get. Miss Julia Foley as“Mrs, Darrah,” George Darrah’s wronged and forsaken credit on the stage. Pleading for the return and love of her husband, only to be rebuffed by many bitter accusar tions, and falling on the street piostrate with grief as he spurned her last en- treaty’ was the most touching emotional acting that has been witnessed here. In this line Miss Foley excels. Miss Jennie James as “Daisy,” Mrs. Thornton’s servant, was just captivat- ing, and it’s no wonder The Deacon made a mistake and fell it love with her at first sight. She “showed Pete er picasant. Ia few more Suits 0 make a wonderful reduction tor weeks. Alldepartments receiving the benefits. Don’ delay, but come now.

How the Effect Can Be Obtained at Little Cost. 6 A Japanese interior will always be in favor with persons of moderate means, because so good an effect may be ob- - tainedatsoslightacost. Hang the wall from baseboard to ceiling with eart- ridge paper of dull old red, simulating a frieze by setting the bamboo picture rail 18 inches below the é¢iling. Form a dado and pavels with bamboo, and stencil both dado and frieze with Jap- anese desigus in bronze and copper. Put a greenish white cream mattiug.on the floor, aud spread it with jute rugs in imitation of Daghestan and Kazae, » wonderful. There must not be a single picture on are no new ones. The old flags are sim- ply mended, There is a patriotic poem | in this. “Old Glory” hos a perpetual life; that is, the “Old Glory” that. presides over the capitol, When a stripe | blows away, a new one is put in its: place, and the sume old flag is pulled to the head of the; staff. It is the blue field and stars. . If it is the blue. field and stars that ts gone, this js repro- duced. If only. a rent, it is darned; if a hole, it is patched. Then another stripe goes, and a new one is added. So on, the old portions are blown away, the newer standing until the new be- peomes the old in turn and tea*@away, ‘and in endless evolution the old flag lives on. It is always the same flag, ‘blown’ free by the’ winds, and other Small bits take their place. There is A grind for “Old Glory.” It has Bia Ap life.

Dark reddish] brown denin will answer admirably for hangings in this room. Have very few chairs, and let these be of bamboo, hut let the big pillows, covered with Japanese chintzes, take their place. If this is a parlor, let the tea table be of bamboo and covered with a bit of Japanese drapery; use a Japanese tea service, and a gong of Japanese bronze. the desk be of bamboo, as well as such book-cases as are not built into the walls.
