A Coming EntertainmentE. Pauline Johnson, the Mohawk Indian poet-entertainer, will appear in the town hall, Keremeos, on Saturday evening, Oct. 2, in her unique presentation of poems, legends and stories. She will be supported by Miss Lucy YVebling, of London, England, and Walter McRaye, the popular humorist, the latter in sketches from Or. Drummond's habitant characters of Quebec. Miss Johnson will appear in native Indian buckskin costume, presenting her own poems and legends of Red Indian life. Admission 50c. and 75c.The London Morning Post says : “An entertainment of an unusual kind was provided at the Steinway Hall last evening by Miss E. Pauline Johnson, who is descended from a former member of the Iroquois nation of Red Indians, from whom she derives her native name of Tekahionwake, recited, or rather enacted, a number of Indian stories of which she is the author. These little pieces are powerfully descriptive and they gain considerably by the admirable manner in which they are interpreted. Miss Johnson has a dramatic manner, and she carries out her work with the aid of much picturesque, natural, and remarkably effective gesture.”
