Pretty. clever CLARA O'Connor, for whom
q benefit was given on Wednesday evening
at st. Paul's M. E. church. delighted the
audience with her clever readings. Miss
Clara IL only nine years old and shows a
remarkable talent for elocntion and acting.
Her best efforts are in child dialect read
ings, some Of James Whitcomb Riley's
selections being particularly suited to her
style. Among the numbers that suited her
admirably we're Happy Little Cripple"
Our Hired Girl" STRAY Sunbeam" and
Orphan Annie" The last number could
not have been prettisr nor more perfectly
p~ersonated.
Vollert's orchestra assisted Miss O'Con-
nor, and In no way fell short Of it's always
excellent music. Among tho most pleasing
numbers we're 'Arcadian Overture" Fest
Overture" and selections from "Martha."
Miss O'Connor may justly pride herself on
the success Of tho entertainment.
