The st. Mary's Entertainment,

IhOse who attended the entertainment
last evening given by the pupils of St.
Mary's school, we're we'll rewarded. I'm
der the careful and efficient training of
the good Sisters scores of Bismarck
little ones are becoming quite proficient
and the entertainment last evening was
an exhibition of home talent, pleasing
not only to the parents of the children,
but to the citizens generally without re-
gard of sect. The Atheneum was beau
tifully decorated and the display of the
American flag on all sides evinced a
pleasing degree of patriotism, the teach
ing of which to the young is the safe
guard of the union in the future. The
Mehlin piano used was loaned for the
occasion by Mrs. Drummond.
The opening piece was entitled "Little
Patriots Drill" Twenty-four little girls
dressed in white, with blue and red
sashes, sang the true American songs
"America" and "CoIumbia," going
through a very pretty drill, commanded
by the Goddess of Liberty. A recitation
by little Mamie Robidou followed and,
although hardly old enough to speak
plain, the audience could clearly catch
the lines. A trio On the piano, by Rosa
Gillespie, Rosa McHugh and Mary
Westminster, which was gracefully rem
dered, was followed by a recitation by
little Ella Fortune. Following a piano
accompaniment to the mandolin was a
dialogue by Joseph and Mary Westhau-
ser and Maggie O'Connor. The dialogue
was comical in the extreme and pro-
voked much applause. Rosa McHugh
sang in a sweet, childish voice, "Gently
Down the Stream of Time," which was
followed by a piano trio by Maggie
O'Connor, Mamie Lynch and Ka-
tie Cunningham. Francis Halloran
followed in a lecture to the boys, which
brought down the house, and wee
Eva Erwin spoke for her doll. Misses
G. Goudreau and Maggie O'Connor
rendered a piano duet, and Master John
Halloran gave a recitation. The vocal
class OF abont twenty girls sang the
ocean Spray" and Leo. Cunningham,
Jos. WEIGH, Jas. Mccormack, Bonnie
Belk and Francis Halloran followed in a
dialogue which met with a hearty encore
Misses Jennie Atrill and Lulu Kupitz
gave a piano duet, and little Agnes Mol
10y recited "Little Harry's Letter"
frankie Hare and Jos. Westminster sang
a dialogue "Kissing Papa Through the
Telephone" which also pleased the
audience immensely. Misses Florence
McNider and Blanche Jennings played q
duet, and then came the most laughable
dialogue of the evening, every part be.
ing acted to perfection. Miss Goudreau
Joseph Westminster and Bennle Belk
took the characters. A piano duet by
Mrs. 4. W. Drummond and Miss Jen.
nings was followed by a stirring recita.
ton of the "Polish Boy" by Miss Mary
McHugh. Then came a beauti.
ful operetta, "Grandma's Birthday" by
twenty-four little girls dressed in white.
It was a pleasing little operetta and was
presented in u faultless manner. In fact
there was nothing tedious in the whole
evenings entertainment. Every pupil
acted we'll his part and there wa little
prompting or repeating. Another piano
duet by Misses Florence McNnider and
Edna Falconer and the comical Yankee
Doodle Family tableaux following made
everybody laugh. Messrs. Mabel
Boucher and Edna Falconer played duet
and the entertainment concluded with
a grand tableaux Gratifying Around our
Flag" The Sisters and others who have
labored SO hard during the past month
training the youngsters for this enter.
tainment are entitled to much credit fol-
their patience and skill and were re.
warded by having the entertainment
pass off without a change in the pro.
gram or q mistake serious enough to be
noticed.
