obligato. Miss Powelps violin solo and en-
core were one Of the features Of the after

In the evening ths programme was So good
that It Is difficult to particularize. From the
ever grand overture to "Tannhauser" to the
Rounds Of the Owl Club" the attention Of
the audience was closely held. By special
request. as an encore, the band played the
I'D Regiment March, and the audience was
thoroughly delighted. The THO from Lom-

Klein, Messrs. Spigaroll and Sartori, anu
had to be repeated. Miss KIeln's charming
rendering Of the Jewel Song was re-demand-
ed. She has sung In Portland before, with
the Ideals. when she captured her audience.
Miss Powell created even a greater impress
sion than on former occasions, and could
have had a double encore. Last, but not
least. Campanini sang that beautiful Celeste
Aida" and for an encore Brlgnoli's ''Good
bye, Sweetheart" the last thing that silver
