Gantata to be Repeated.
The beautiful cantata of Belshazzar, given so successfully last year,
will be repeated on the 25th and
26th of next April.
Mr. J. A. Rosensteel, who directed the production of last year, has,
at the urgent request of quite a
number'of people consented, to assume the directorship.
Although it was claimed by many
last year to have been the best
production of its kind ever staged
in Sewickley, this year's performance promises to far surpass it.
The cast has been greatly strengthened and the chorus increased.
Special attention will be given to
the acting and the costuming will
be more elaborate. Every detail
will be gone, into so as to give a
performance that will be a credit
to our Valley.
The rehearsals are progressing
very favorably, the work of the
chorus.beingfullof vim and energy.
The next rehearsal will be held .in
the chapel of the Methodist Epis-.
copal [Ghurch on next Thursday
evening, March 14, at 8 o'clock,
please be prompt.
Musical critics in speaking of
this cantata, say, that from a musical standpoint it is one of the. best
ever written, the music being far
above the ordinary cantata.
Coachmen in Mix-up.
Frank McKee, a -character well-
known to the police, figured in another episode on Wednesday and
landed in the lock-up. He and a
companion .named "Jimmy" Scott,
had been drinking and they got into
fighting humor, with the result that
McKee, who is a big over-grown
coachman, damaged the countenance of little "Jimmy" and a doctor's services were required
to repair the damage. As the
combatants were both drunk
Ghief Roach locked Scott up also.
Squire Allewelt gave the men a
hearing and assessed McKee $15'
and costs and Scott $10 and costs,
which was paid.
Mr. John A. Hopp proceeded
while intoxicated, to make things
lively at his domicile last Sunday
for Mrs. Hopp and her calls for assistance brought in several neighbors who summoned Ghief Roach
and Hopp was locked up. He was
released on Monday on a $50 forfeit for his appearance at a hearing.
•Hopp hopped out of town, but relented and hopped back again for
the hearing. His wife did not appear against him and asked that
the authorities deal leniently with
him. The squire fixed the penalty at $5 and costs, which was
paid.
