Ac ATTORNEYS AT LAW, Star Theatre liuil.Hng. j About Forty Knrolled for the Caotata, • Kt her, the lleautiful yueeu.” The chorus organized at the Buford 1 Street M E. church last Monday night promises the greatest success About forty of the sihging people | were enrolled. Mr. Maxim wan de- 1 lighted with the outlook and says that he never saw a chorus take hold of the songs as readiiy. The obji-ct is to give in costume the ■ popular music oratorio, “Esther the Beautiful Queen,” at the opera house, some time in April. Miss Williams has been selected to personate Esther; Mr. I. W. Richard son to personate, Ahasuerus. the King; Mr. J. W.. Lipscomb will ap pear as Ha man, the King’s counselor ; Miss Barton, as Hainan’s sister; Mr H. K. Osborne, as Mordeeai; Miss Eva Ross, as Mordecai’s sister. ! Several other characters are to be selected by Mr. Maxim, as soon as j the practice gets half under w«y. The music committee of the church who have the management in hand are very much gratified at the gener ous way the musical people have re- sponned. Amongst the singers in addition to those already named are: Ur. DuPre, Mrs. Westrope, Mrs. Allien. Mr. Walter Humphries, Miss Ooudelock. Miss Barton. Mrs. (ioou- ing, Mrs Bridges, an i many others, but the names above given insure an entertainment of the highest class. Mr. Maxim is a born leader, and the whole chorus seem to be aflame with his enthusiasm. Only about twenty-four books have been purchased by the church, and more will be ordered ns needed; sev eral have signified their purpose to buy books for their individual use, as tile music is most interesting from a literary standpoint. Mr. Maxim announced that any one wanting the books could gee them at cost, viz., forty-five ceuis And they can leave their orders with him and .1 (’. Otcs, and their orders will be promptly filled. Let there be no misunder standing: no member of the chorus is required to buy his music, but only necessary copies will bs bought by the church, as each copy bought will reduce the net profit for the church. The chorus will meet again tonight at 8 o’clock, and Mr. Maxim hopes to commence practice promptly. There has been a marked improvement in the church music and congregational singing during Miss Williams’ ad ministration as organist. And it is hoped that as many members of the church ns possibly can. will join in the chorus; and the training of Mr. Maxim will no doubt tend to more general singing on the part of the congregttion. The Methodists have every reason to expect an artistic and financial success in the cantata, and are gratified very much with the sympathy, co-operation and active assistance of their friends and sister denominations A Virginian Among I'm. W. 8. B. Forbes, a prominent Lusi ness man of Richmond, Ya., spent Wednesday in the city the guest of Mr. Paul V. Gaffney. Mr. Forbes is a true Southern gettleiuan of pkas- ant address, who possesses the happy faeuLy of remembering old acquaint ances. While here he met quite a number of people with whom he formerly did business when he was a shoe merchant in Charlotte thirty years ago, and he had no cifficulty in remembering them. His home in Richmond is a palatial one and he is never happier than when entertaining old friends. His half century rests lightly on his shouldtrs and tils ap pearance, like good wine, improves with age. Mr. Forbes took occasion to note Gaffney’s wonderful growth and said he believed, with the development of our magnificent water power and other resources that there was a great future in store for Gaffney.
