PEAK SISTERS MARE GOOD
AT EMPRESS LAST NIGHT
A very unique and thoroughly en
joyable entertainment was given at
the Empress Theatre last evening Un
der the auspices of the ladies of the
Presbyterian church. There was vo
cal and instrumental music galore, in
cluding selections by Clayson's or
chestra and the Cordova Btringed or
chestra; piano solo, Miss Anderson;
character duet. Miss Shepard and Mrs.
Chase: vocal solo, Mr. Chittenden, all
of which numbers were pleasingly
rendered and liberally applauded.
4 ■ Then came "The Famous Peak Sis
ters,” an! the little visit of these
■>» maidens furnished considerable
‘ enjoyment to the auditors, and w-ent
to make up one of the best local talent
entertainments given in Cordova for
some time past. Mrs. Chase as
"Kezinh,” who was left in charge of
her delicate sisters, certainly did jus
tice to her part, as did also Miss
Shepard as "Sophia," the wilful sis
ter. Their singing was also well re
ceived. Miss Gladys Hedges as
"Dorothea," the sister with a fine
musical education, as mother, put her
through a “preservatory,” was well
received, as was Mrs. Fuller as "Bet
sy,” the deaf and dumb sister. Miss
Georgina Hedges as "Maria,” tho
practical sister, and Celeste Barrus as
"Bethia,” the Boston girl, were also
very good. Miss Anna Egan as "Sa
rah Jane,” and Miss Agnes Shepard
as “Nancy” did their parts well, and
Mrs. Lewis as "Samantha Allen,’ the
famous lecturer and traveler, kept the
audience laughing, telling of the time
when she went to visit the President
in behalf of Josiah. her husband. As
she took the part on a day's notice,
much credit is due her.
The entertainment was under the
direction of Mrs. Hedges, who feels
well repaid for the time that was
spent in rehearsing. She wishes to
thank the attaches of the Empress
Theatre, and Capt. Lathrop for their
kindness, as everything possible was
done for the comfort and conven
ience of the Peaks, and Mr. Belter as
stage manager did his part in the]
same old way. Mr. Meyers was right
on hand as usual with the electric
stunt. Many thanks to him. The
Dally Times must take Its share, as
from time to time notices have ap
peared, and Its generosity should not
he forgotten.
