THE BURNS FAMILY
TAKEN TO HADLEY
As soon as Mr. Fnrnwall, owner of
■ Ire gas boat Installer, read in the
Progressive-Miner last Saturday the
notice that a gas boat was wanted to
take Mr. Horns and family to Hadley,
their destination. Iris generosity show
ed itself in action. The party left
here about eight o'clock comfortably
se'tl-d in the comedians Installer and
reached Hadley before midnight where
they were received with open arms.
Thus ended a perilous, tiresome trip

‘Queen Esther” Is Soon
To Be Produced
The most popular musical enter
tainment ever produced in America
is the sacred opera “Queen Esther,”
written many years ago by William
Bradbury. It has been given by
choral societies, church choirs and
other amateur singers in almost every
city in this country and has also
been translated into other language
and became famous in the European
countries. It has been the means of
raising more money for churches,
libraries, hospitals and societies than
any other musical composition, and
despite the fact That it has been glv
en so many times, there is a charm
about its beautiful music that makes
it ever popular and when once heard
it will never be forgotten.
For many years it was given in the
eastern states by the best musical
societies and directors, but it is ad
mitted that Martin !’. Robinson, who
i* now preparing the opera in ixet
ehikan, holds the record for giving
the greatest number of performance,
by amateuers. He has given this and
many other operas in almost every
city in the Northwestern States, and
in each instance has sustained the
reputation of producing the best en
tertainment ever given by their local
singers. He carries a complete outfit
of costumes to make the scones rep
resent the oriental splendors of the
court of the great king Xerxes, and his
careful attention to detail in training
the soloists and chorus in their re
spective parts makes the opera more
elaborate than is usually seen in
amateur productions. ,
To those who witnessed the produc
tion of “Pinafore.” given by Mr.
Robinson in July, were pleasantly
surprised in the excellence of the per
formance and with an increased
chorus and the addition of some more
excellent voices, the production of
‘ ‘ Queen Esther ’ ’ is bound to far ex
cell the former opera.
The Ketchikan Lyceum are back
ing the production and the proceeds
will be given to the local hospital.
As this is a worthy institution and
one which is a great benefit to the
entire community, the -opera should
receive the united support of every
singer in town, as well as the general
support of the public, at the two per
formances to be given some time next
week.
