A Large and Select Audience Filled the Theatre to Witness the Presentation- Splendid Mnalcal Talent Displayed and the Cantata a Success. •’The man that hath no music In himself, Nor is not moved with concosd of sweet sounds, Is Ht for treasons, strategems, and spoils." Music hath its charms the savage breast to soothe, and there breathes □ot a human being so dead to the pure and holy instincts imputed by the Creator himself that does not grow kinder and more gentle under its soothing strains. The pc wer of music is great. It calms and soft ens, ennobles and purifies the feel ings, and gives the aspirations of the soul a grand and glorious flight to ‘that pure, sweet realm above where all is song and all is love.” The ele ments of music are in everything around us; they are found in every part of creation. In the sounds of summer, from the sweet chirping of the tiniest bird or the faintest echo that sweeps murmuring over hill and valley, to the solemn reverberation of the thunderpeal, music in a thous and varied tones is evident to the senses. All these contain the rudi ments of harmony, and may be easily supposed to have furnished the minds of intelligent creatures with such ideas of sound as time and the accumulated observation of succeed ing ages could not fail to improve in to a system. It is indeed inspiring to think of this universal anthem aris ing in its majesty and sublimity from all the countless worlds of cre ation, a song of nraise and thanks giving toJHim whoso mercy and bene ficence sustain all things. The charm of music is indefinable, for it brings an exquisite sense of blissful sadness which no person can describe. What strange and hitherto unknown powers awake within us as the soul soars on the wings of melody far up into the sunlit and eternal heavens! Are not all things possible to us as we leap, in that moment of ecstasy, over all the barriers of sense and circumstance? True, the doubts and misgivings may return, and the wing of the spirit trail in the dust and mire that lie along the world’s highways; but who shall say that we are not bo:ter and purer for that mo ment of exultation when th soul communed with its fellow angel and rejoiced in its heavenly powers? Three hundred and thirty people paid the good hard cash to witness the rendition of the cantata, "Esthtr the Beautiful Queen,” at the Star Theatre last Tuesday evening. In addition there were the usual com plimentary admissions of about twenty. These, with those in the cast and chorus, made an assembly of about four hundred and twenty- five in the pretty little play-house; and there can be no question but that it was the most polished and aristo cratic gathering that has ever been assembled inside a theatre to witness the presentation of any production in Gaffney. In fact the elite of the city were out in force. And t’jey were augmented by attendants from Blacksburg, Yorkvilie and other places. It was a magnificent audi ence of beauty and chivalry and they showed their appreciation of the splendid work of Prof. Maxim and his assistants by giving them unstinted applause. From the rise of the cur tain to the finale there was no lack of interest,and there was not the slight est hitch in the whole proceedings. Mr. Maxim and bis associates had worked faithfully and as a result they gave a performance that eclip sed all previous efforts made in Gaff ney, and they were the next day the recipients of showers of com pliments. We do not remember ever having beard an amateur per formance praised so much, and it was deserved, for it ft^r surpassed some of the so-called professional per formances given here this season. Miss Williams not only sang her Dart in exceptionally good form but she looked and acted the queen for the brief hour portrayed Her sweet soprano voice rang out as clear as a bell and her enunciation was fau!tless throughout. Looking at Mr. Richardson no one would have dreamed that the stage kin ^ was a dispenser of soft drinks. He occupied the throne and sang his part as naturally as water runs down bill. Besides, he looked to be a king indeed. And what can be said of Mr. Lip scomb’s "Haman?” As counselor to the king be was immense. He badjhlswell modulated baritone voice under absolute control and acted his part to perfection. Mr. Osborne’s "Mordecai” was splendid. His sweet tenor voice rang out sweetly; be was natural and at perfect ease upon the stage, and the difficult role he assumed would have fared badly indeed in Jess competent bands. Miss Barton, as “Zeresh,” was charming and graceful. (She possesses a sweet voice, and her carriage and action were delightful. Miss Eva Ross, asMordecai’s sister, was splendid. We have long con tended that Miss Ross was one of the mo-t cbarmlog singers In Gaffney,and her work ou this ooossloo simply served to^streogthso that ooDtsotloo. Miss Lillian Wood, as ths “Proph etess, surpassed the most san guine expectation of her most ardent admirers, of whom she has many, and she sang and acted well her part. She possesses a sweet voice and uses it well. Mrs. E. L. Eison, in the role of a Median Princess, was very attractive. Her beautiful alto was under splendid control and it would have been dif ficult to have cait the part more ap propriately. As a Persian Princess Miss Chris tine Goudelock came up to the full requirements. She sings sweetly and there is a future in store for her in the field of music. Mr. Jas. Bell, as the scribe; Mr. W. Henry Ross, as the beggar; Mr. Root. C. Swofford, as Hegai; Mr. W. B. DnPre, as the high priest ;J Mr. Walter Humpnries, as the herald; and Mr. Chaa. Hamea, as Harbonah ; were all splendid. They put action and feeling into their work and each deserves special mention. One of the prettiest and most dem onstrative features of *the occasion was the triumphal procession and drill by the children under the super vision of Mrs. George Pratt Maxim. It wa8,indeed, a lovely spectacle, and one that commanded the deep atten tion and rapt applause of a large and admiring audience. All the evolu tions were accomplished "'itbout the slightest hesitation or difficulty ; and every move of the little ones gave evidence of the painstaking care and patient attention given them by Mrs. Maxim. The unbounded success of the can tata adds another laurel,to the wreath which Fame has placed upon Prof. Maxim’s brow. Nothing can be said which would add to his reputation as a musician. His work speaks for itself, and in such a manner as to clearly show the master hand and the master mind which accomplished it. Prof JMax.m’s fame is not m re y local, but he is a musician of national repute and occupies an enviable posi tion among America’s most promi nent artists. His admirers are legion, and Gaffney is proud of him. Numerous visitors from a distance attended the cantata, and all return ed to their homes highly pleased with what they saw and heard, and enter taining the opinion, as was expressed by some, that Gaffney is far beyond other towns of twice her size in thrift and energy anc in her musical talent.
