GAFFNEY’S GREAT
MUSICAL EVENT.
The Cantata Presented Last
Tuesday Night.
■
A GRAND ACHIEVEMENT.
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.
Long live the memory of ,l E8ther,
the Beautiful Queen!”
