-----
The Clansman performance at the opera house Saturday night was some better than
at its former appearance in Marlin. Some new people and a little more zest
at important points made the show more attractive than it was last year.
However, there is still room for improvement, which may possibly come during the
four years tour abroad. This show will remain popular with a great many
people for years to come, still it is far-fetched and really points no moral,
and adorns Dixon's work only in a meagre (sic) degree.

The lecture of Mrs. Sarah E. Dunbar on Ibsen, at the opera house Monday
afternoon was heard by an appreciative though a rather small audience, the

hearers who are familiar with this author's works, the delineation was
especially interesting.
