FOR SWEET CHARITY
THE PLEATINs MUSICALE GIVEN LAST EVE
ON CHAPLIN STREET.
A Fine Programme EIcsIlsndy Rendsrsd-Fsa-
arss Of the Evsning-Anothsr Project Ad-
yancsi in Aid Of the New CITY Hos
pial at Snts Fair Grounds

The much-talked Of musicale in aid Of
lhe new City Hospital took place last
evening at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs
julius Pollock, on Chspllne street. The
late unfortunately fell on very IN
comfortable night, one Of the most de-
pressing Of the season, aud there is little
wonder at the small attendance. Under
roof last night was almost out OF the
question, and while the ladies In charge
realized this, IL was found a difficult
matter 10 postpone by reason OF other
engagements of the musicians, and they
could not we'll be all gotten together al
another date For this reason 1t was
Ahought best TO carry out the pro-
gramme.
It is 10 be regretted that there were
not more 10 attendance, as II was an eX-
ceptiOnally interesting mo'lcale, por-
ton Of the interest centering In the
new participants, particularly Nine.
Bodtker-Naeser, who Is new 20 these
parts, but who has been accorded
warm welcome in musical circles
The program opOnei with a piano So
10 by Nine. BOdtker- SaeSer, the accom-
plished Norwegian lady, who arrived
here q short time ago as the successor
OF Professor Armstrong In his studio on
Market street. The madame is a most
finished musician, and the seiltul man
ner in which she manipulated the keys
almost imbued them with life, so 10
speak-elicited the most hearty ap-
plause. All Of the Madame's selections
were heartily enjoyed.
The second number on the programme
was a vocal solo by Miss Mamie Gruob.
This was looked forward 20 with inter
est, as Miss GrUb0 is a comparatively
new artistic in she vocal arena. She has
a strong voice, and displayed excellent
control and acquitted herself handsome
ly throughout. She was loudly encored.
Mr.. Harry Sweeney rendered with ex-
cellent effect Lovers Three" and
caught the listeners from the start
Mr.. Sweeney has voice that captl-
Yates. Miss Helen Mccoy delightfully."-
rendered a violin solo, being well accom-
panied by Miss Emily Pollock, the rising
young musical genius.
IN the elocutionary line there were
two participants, Miss Steinfeld who
gave 'Old Sweetheart" IN a way that
could not fail 10 entertain.
Mr.. Chas. OFT, an always welcome
artist In the elocutioEary, next held
the audience as in spell while he
cleverly recited "Huskin' Bee" Mr.
OFT has a good conception Of the re-
Quirements Of a role, and he well car
ries them out. He was vigorously en-
cOred.
The Quartette singing by John Nc
Lure, viii Day, Harry Sweeney and
Will Sweeney, was we'll received, and
formed one Of the most enjoyable num-
bers on the program. One almost
forgot the heat while listening to this
delightful melody. Other features Of
the evening was a waltz song by Mr..
Albert Rice, a song, "Changeless," by
Mr., Will Sweeney, and a finely rem
deked selection by Fred Seymour called
Answer. Robin"
The concert proved very entertaing
kthroughout.
VI At the close Of the musicale all re-
paired 70 the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Speidel, just across the street,
where delectables were daintily served.
