Miss Nina Lyon.
CART won great applause for his barytone
solo, Even Bravest Hearts May Swell"
(frOm Goun0ds "FausP) and for an encore
sang The Heart Bowed Down" very well
indeed. DR.. W. II. Seiberst, as usual,
brought down the house. and was eueOrrd
again and again for his inimtable special
ties. The gem of the evening, however,
was the soprano solo By pretty Miss Nina
Lyon. She sang Scheitfarth's 'Merrily |
Roam" very effectively. and was heartily
eneored. to which she responded with
Franz Abts' always acceptable Cuckoo
Song" Miss Lyon has very sweet and
well-trained voice.

Pair" was very creditsbly produced, aud
The acting was above the average. and Miss

misunderstanding chambeTmaid Polly"
with force Of action that would have been
creditabla to a professional actress. Mr. l..
Gustsf Schroeder took the part of George
Pembroke, young physician, and Miss
Josie 4. Shaw, as Angelina, made him
loving and beautiful wife. Jack Baxter "a
man about town. was PORTRAYED by Mr.

for Jack.
