IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 3, 1879. The entertainment of the Anaheim Amateur Dramatic Club on Thursday evening was witnessed by a fair audience—not as many being present, however, as the merits of the performance deserved. The opening duet, "The Hunter's Song," by Misses Heimen and Alice Chase, was rendered with perfect taste and harmony. Mrs. G. H. Kellogg read a very amusing story of "A boy's experience with Tar Marbles," and Miss Chase sang "Tender and True" in such a charming way that she was enceded and responded with "Comin' Thru the Rye." Rev. Mr. Trew recited "High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire." He prefaced his reading with a pun which brought down the house. He said they had just heard "Tender and True," but that they were now about to hear something "Tall and Trew." That wasn't bad, by any means. A piano duet by Mrs. Trew and Miss Des Granges was well received and then Miss Chase gave a recitation in the negro dialect. Here the programme awake anticipations of ice cream, but the managers were obliged to announce that as no ice could be had, that part of the entertainment must needs be dispensed with. The amusing farce, "Area Belle," followed, the following being the cast of characters: Penelope, the Ana Belle, Miss Katie Bremmermann; Mrs. Croaker, the Missus, Miss Heimann; Pitcher, a policeman; Mr. F. P. Marsh; Tosser, a grenadier; Mr. Herman Zeyn; Walker Charlie, a milkman, Mr. J. C. Des Granges. The dance at the close of the entertainment was quite generally participated in.

They are, the $1,000.00 motion picture electrical pageant, four performances of the circus maximus and two dress parades.
