much we must say:
The Bobolink recitation of Miss

exact and bewitching; the Little
German Band was immense; The
Three Bells was excellently rendered,
as was the Mermaid's Evening Song,
and Caroline. Aria from Patience,
and the Laughing Song and Chorus,
with which the evenings entertain
ment concluded, we're especially
good.
But we enjoyed nothing more hear
tily than the beautifullyspOken reel
