soon to be given by our local Histrionic
Club, and for local church entertain
ments, and so greatly reduced the at
tendance; but the play was good. The
tronpe is small, but its talent is picked.
The comedy opening part Is light-very
light-but the singing, and the opera Of
"Pygmalion and Galatea" was immense.
T. WIlmott Eckert has n voice rare, rich
and musical-a natural tenor of won
derful compass and power. Louise
Leighton is cultured songstress VITO
can compare favorably with first-class
opera singers almost anywhere. Her
voice sounds trjtie thin sometimes in
the more difficult high tones-but is al
ways pure and clear. She is a rare art
ist. H. W. Frillman's bassO filled the
spacious hall and almost shook the
foundations in its rich, full tones. His
specialties IN solos brought down the
house every time, and his port in the
concluding piece, Rocked in the Cradle
of the Deep" gave it grandeur. The
Zylophone potpourie was entertaining.
Minnie CASTOR also elected several en-
cores by her clever acting and musical
singing. Should these people ever come
our way again it is hoped they may have
larger hearing.
