Mountain Pink gives delightful performance at lawn festival
Miss Edith Dirstine led an excellent company at the opera ball on Wednesday presenting A Mountain Pink to a receptive audience. Harold Wilmot actor W. B. Harrison and Captain Bonnery actor Glen Chase drew praise while Miss Carrie Chase and Miss Alice Hammer impressed as their parts. The troupe boasted a full band and an engaged crowd praised the show, which may return next winter. Meanwhile the Gleaners Society hosts an ice cream festival for church funds at Rev. Stauffer’s residence on West Fifth. A special note from the Anti Monopolist commends Mrs. Fuller and her Abilene students for a well received elocution program at Bubrer’s opera house. The Abilene Reformed church women plan a Cedar street lunch room during county fair proceeds aiding church completion. Clarification from G E Richardson denies any deputy postmaster claim regarding Buchanan’s appointment chances.
