.516. tupetsunuiut Lihwn Heard in lord Chumley at the South Norwaiit Cen- rgregatienal Church. last Night, by a large and Enthu- siastic Audience 'l‘he Sottth Norwalk Congregational Church was scarcely able to hold the people that filled almost every seat in the large edifice last evening. The ac caslon was the appearance of that world-famed impersonator. Leland T. Powers, a simple announcement of whose coming was sufficient to fill the church to overflowing. Long before 7 :30, the time for open- Ing the doors a group of enthusiasts shivered on the cold stone steps of the entrance and from that time until 8:15, when the evening's entertainment was opened with the. presentation of the entertainer by Dr. Emily Parties-Dis- brow, a steady stream poured into the church, giving the efiiclcnt corps of ushers no chance for a moment‘s to- activity. A large percentage—over one~haif~.— of the seats were reserved, and the loc— lure proved financially the most sitc- cessful yet held in the course. The committee Ill charge is to be highly congratulated and thanked for secur- ing the services of such an able ex- ponent of the art of impersonation. The first feature of Mr, Powers' imc pcrsonations is his ability to hold his audience. At almost any minute of the nearly two hours in which he spoke so rapt were his hearers that a pin could have been heard had it been dropped in almost any part of the building. His several appearances here had given him a place in the hearts of Norwalkers and every person in the audi see was with him from the beginnin to end. Overdrawn was not to be found in his vocabulary in describing his im. personatlons. From the ludicrous yet admirable interpretation of Lord Chumley. after whom. as the principal character. the play finds it name, down to the stiff, fortifal. yet to us ludicrous. attitude of Winterbottom the servant. We find him ever trite to‘llfe and al- ways natural. The only Wonder that, comes as a sensation over his audi- ence at the close of Act l is why the. curtain does not drop. ’ ‘ Mr. Powers carries with‘ him an emxipment of scenery, spectacular ef- fects, cti’t., that no company over pos- sessed or stage could produce. They are'la the man and the result 'of years of'hard study and persevering effort. ~uutiltnow they blossom forth for the delight of»"thousands. Could anyone imagine a prima donna with voice in more, perfect control than that of the speaker? One moment the stern, com~ mending ring of Lieutenant Buttery worth. the next the gruff, yet .Iollyfl bltlrting of the joyous father; then the soft, sweet cadence of the daughter Eleanor smitten with love and con- trasted immediately with the polished, effective accent of the French rascal. Add to this voice inflection an innum- mcral array of poses to stilt the char- acters, all assumed with the same nat- uralness than conceals the art of the speaker anti true artist. and you have. a faint idea of Mr. I’owers‘ ability. Better than any plot of story ever unravelled .was the plot brought to its grand climax by Mr, Powers' consum- mate art and skill.
