An Entertainment by the Best Reader In the
West, with Excellent Musical Support.

Tuesday evening Of next week-october
eth-Mrs. NJ. M. Bane, Of Utah, accredited
As the finest elocutionist on the Pacific coast,
will give an entertainmentin the music room
OF the Montana College, and under the aus
pieces OF that institution. Additional to the
Elocutionary entertainment viii be full
programme of instrumental and vocal music,
under direction Of Mira. d. j. Mcmillan,
Prof j. W. Rhodes and Prof j. ]. Robinson,
assuring IN evenings entertainment that has
never been surpassed, II equalled. in Deer
Lodge. The quality of the musical attrac-
ton will be recognized from the names men,
toned, and as relating to Mrs. Bane, we sub
init the following commendatory mentions
From the Salt Lake Tribune.
A very large audience, filling the body and
first gallery of the Opera House by its pres
ence, gave certain evidence of the respect
and affection in which Mrs. Bane is held in
this city, and by hearty applause evinced the
pleasure with which the listeners received
the exercises. Her invocation was brief
and beautiful essay on elocution, and then
she gave exhibitions from the poems of Will
Carleton, which tried every faculty Of the
voice. and called out its every cadence. The
reading of the Bird song is something so
unique, trying and wonderful that we yen-
ture to declare that there is not another
reader in the Union who can even family
initiate her. Her rendering in costume, the

aad information. She was for the moment
the mad old girl who had sung in church for
five and thirty years-sung a sort of go-as-
you-please-and now was crowded out by
organ and choir, and was having her say
about it. Her "Aunt Betsey" was quite as
perfect an impersonation, and the cover the
Hills to the Poor House," brought out all
there is in that painful recital. Mrs. Bane
must have given years to study and to prac-
ticing her voice, until she has 1t in perfect
command, and has more tones than a ven-
triloquist.
From the Society Record.
The hall was crowded. Mrs. Gen. Bane so
delighted the audience with her reading that
she was compelled to appear the second time.
How that audience laughed, and shook and
roared as she proceeded with this second
reading. 1t was so real and so we'll read that
one had to laugh-there was no room for
anything else.
From Prof. s. S. HamiH,
of the Chicago School of Elocution, and au-
thor Of "Hamill's Elocution," in use In all
our schools-January, 1881: at affords me
pleasure to commend Mrs Bane as teacher
of Elocution and Dramatic Reader. AS a
reader and personator OF character, she pos
sesses remarkable power. Her rendition of
The New Church Organ have never seen
equalled, and 1t alone Is worth double the
price Of admission"
From the Salt Lake Democrat.
Mrs. General NJ. NJ. Bane gave one Of her
Moral Heroism," in her charac-
teristic and true manner, and by request she
kindly complied to the wishes Of the gather
ing and rendered the difficult "Bird Song"
This piece of singular construction requires
a portrayal of all the sounds possible to the
human voice. In representing the canary,
the swallow, the sparrow and bobolink, Mrs.
Bane showed herself an accomplished elocu-
ZIONIST from the flashed manner in which
the piece was given.
