Levy, who has a powerful soprano,
Miss Alice Barry. cOntralo of some
note, William J. LAWN. a tenor of more
than ordinary excellence, and Ed
win NJ. ShOnert, skillfui
pianist. These with Jules Levy
and his cOrnet. make up a varied and
attractive programme They all ap-
peared in both concerts. and. notwlth-
stumbling the discOuraging size of the
audiences, they sang with spirit ana an

received.

found enjoyment in the more quiet
amusement. The programme con-
tanned tWpnty-fOUT dances. which ma
turaiiy made the hour somewhat late
before the company dispersed. Thyle
tt RingWali'S full orchestra was in at
tendance. The floor committee proved
untiring in its efforts toward making
the dance a success. and consisted of c.
