SSiSHt S->oil VI WHAT Suu NC uOuC
in short period of vocal training.
Harry Hanson. Miss Annie Dando,
Miss Ray Shaffer, Robert Tenant and
Miss Mary Lapp distinguished them
selves as young elocutionists, and Miss
Martha Thomas rendered her selection
with spirit and grace worthy of an
older artist.
The tableaur were exceptionally
chaste and pretty.
All the characters taken in the
charades were happily executed, the
youthful players having studied-"not
to please" but to be faithful to their
parts.
The Waiter Dill" and Hoop
Drill" were gone through with without
hitch or misstep. although many of
the movements We're quite complicated.
The comic duet was Il fine rendition
of difficult musical exercise.
Miss Marie Thomas sang with her
usual elegance Il song which brought
the first encore. She came on the stage
the second time with Land of the
Free" one of the richest Of Welsh
melodies.
"When My Ship Comes Oyer" was
beautifully rendered by an accom-
plished quartette.
The JOURNAL endeavors to be
thoroughly impartial and to state the
achievements of the evening as they
appeared to its unprofessional eye and
defective ear. Iu its Judgment, there
fore, Miss Berdie Shearer's soprano
in Better Day Coming was the
browning success of the occasion. Her
manner is easy, ennuciation tenderIy
distinct, voice sweet and, which Is better
than all, appears unconscious of her
powers.
Hardly less musical was Miss Estelle
Jeffries in same part of the other
quartette.
Miss Dora Evans was the school
pianist, and Miss Sallie C.. Wright for
the orchestra.
The Mountain String Quartette
served in the latter capacity and
treated the audience with many choice
pieces.
