romance.
For the second time since it was
first annoiiuced a large crodw of Char
lotte people v.-itnesses last night at
the Academy of .Music a rendition of
■‘The Girl Who Dared”, Miss Bessie
Butkheimer’s attractive play. The au
dience was e\ en larger last night than
at its first presentalioii several months
a,6;o and attested its appi'eciation by
iionerous applause, almost every song
number being encored.
The production was replete with new
and catchy songs, bright lines and
cle’.er dances. Several new characters
'vere seen in the cast, which was an
oxccllent one throughout. Miss Bessie
Burkheimer, the authoress, again took
the part of Virginia Neville, “The
Girl.” and was fully up ti the standard
set by herself at the pi'evious pre
sentation. Her first appearapce on the
stare was the signal for warm ap
plause. Mr. C>ril Baxtresser, as
Dick Brown of the Xew York Herland,
made a distinct and instantaneous hit
with the audience both in the lines
assigned to him . and the songs he
Sfir.g. One oi' his best songs was
Day Dreams Brings Visions of Bliss,”
which gave opportunity for showing
the real excellence of his voice. Anoth
er excellent number was “Let’s Make
Love Among the Roses,” sung by Mr.
Baxtresser and Mir.s Bessie Burkheim
er. their voices blending in most agree-
ahie manner and their interpretation
of the song calling forth applause.
Mr. Bruce Xabers, as Jack Guion,
a young American of impetuous and ar
dent temiierament, provoked apprecia
tive applause and proved himself one
of the stars oi the present cast as he
VI as of the first presentation. Miss
Helen Colt, as ;\Iiss Dorothy Roth-
^leld, an American heiress, came in
for generous applause and was one of
the most polite and winning of the
principal characters.
Other parts most capably taken
were that of Lord John Buckingham,
an English Duke seelang a fortune,
by Mr. Henry Benoit, who besides
measuring up to the part, has an ex
cellent voice v. hich was heard to best
advantage in “If This Rose Told You
all it Knows ’; Marie Dupont, a maid
to Virginia, by Miss Florence Burk
heimer. who also led in several of the
choruses with good effect; Lady Laura
Wellington, aunt and guardian to Vir
ginia. Miss Annie Summerrow; Nell, a
street singer, little Miss Emma Jean
^\'ynne, who was called back several
times to repeat “I Want Some one to
Flirt With Me”: and Madomoiselle De
Pomi Gdoiu’, a primadona. Miss Annie
McKone. who showed her voice to be
one of primadona proportions in “The
Glow Worm.”
Among the most striking of the chor
uses were. The Flying Machine Girls,
The Hobble Skirt Girls, The Yachting
Chorus and The Evening Gown chor^us.
One of the most enjoyable of these
was the Flying Machine Girls, which
vv'irh Miss Bessie Bv-rkheimer, rendered
in fine style “Come, Josephine, In My
Flying ^Machine.”
“The Girl Who Dared,” has proved
itself a production of real worth and
the young authoress is to be congratu
lated on its second successful appeal
to a Charlotte audience, which showed
by its behavior, both on first and sec
ond presentation that it was gett-
ting its money’s worth. The cast is
excellent and the songs the very latest
hits. It is bound to draw a good audi
ence wherever it is presented.
Tere is a probability that it will be
produced at Shelby at an early date,
several requests having been made to
Miss Burkheimer to present It ther^
as well as at other places.
—Mr. Dan Bradley, who was, burned
out of house and home on East Fifth
street, March 5th, has rebuilt and is
ready, he and his family, to move in.
—Work is being carried to rapid
c&mpletion on the improvements in
the clerk of the court’s office at the
court house. The workmen are doing
a good job of it and the convenience
will be very great, when completed,
to the public as well as to the officials.

F a.m,ily
of the Orphan
That was an interesting, a helpful talk of Rev. Mr. Walker last
evening; and then the music, how beautiful! how inspiring! The Prof.,
the sqloists, the trio, the chorus, all seemed attuned in noble, righteous
effort. “More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee.” (
AS I LOOKED AND LISTENED
It struck me as strange that more people do not use the Building &
Loan plati for charity, for church extension, and especially in the line
■ of creating a sinking fund for the discharge of debt, which most re
ligious organizations have to carry. It’s true much of it is being done,
but it is well adapted to the work, and should be more generally em
ployed.
