The Yale expositor., 1895-03-08
the BEST YET.

The verdict of all who attended the
Brick Chapel Concert Monday night,
was that it was the best yet, and very
| decided success as musical and liter
AIRY entertainment, and the managers
| feel grateful to their friends for the
generous manner in making up full
| house, which realized over $500, even
at the small price of admission.
The village of Yale ought to be
proud of her home talent. There are
very few cities, with all their facilities
| for culture, can furnish, in proportion
| to their size, such an array of talent,
and in all such entertainments, gener-
ally given voluntarily for benevolent
or church purposes, the public ought
| to show their thorough appreciation OF
such generous work, by giving hem a
full house, whatever the occasion
| may be.
The program was n splendid one,
and with one or two exceptions was
carried out as promised. The anthem
and singing by the choir were beauti-
fully rendered and much enjoyed by
the audience. The piano Duets by the
Misses NJ. Beecher and u. Williams,
the Misses l.. Andreae and +. Hydorn
and the Misses NJ. Ferguson and >.
Williams were we'll given and highly
appreciated, as were also the piano
solos by Miss Blanche Parker, Miss
Mabel Moore and Miss Lille Hennessy.
Mrs. Tena Jardine gave a recitation,
Theyoung lady sthoughtsinc church, '
which was immense, and brought
down the house, with the sharp hits on
popular fads or habits of the day.
| Mrs. Jardine has in her makeup great
possibilities, as successful elocution-
| list, and is very pleasing and attractive
| in her manner of delivery. And Miss
Annie Brown, who stands guard over
Uncle Sans Stamps, and who is also a
popular favorite, gave recitation
Of which it is slight praise to say it was
we'll given, and we'll received, and the
encores again and again show how
Miss Annie stands in the estimation OF
a Yale audience Her little quip "let
us recipros," elected roars of laughter,
both from the manner of delivery and
perhaps from the fact that the most of
the audience know from experience
where the fun came in.
w. b. Sayille gave solo, accompan
| led by Mrs. Saville on the piano. Will
has a very pleasant voice, adapted FOL
such work, and the audience was much
pleased with his singing. A solo
farewell Marguerite" was given by A
w. Ferguson. Well enough To say
Sandy "gets there" every time, and is
always appreciated by Yale audience
Miss Addie Palmer gave solo, "ThC
Kingdom called Home," and il
good style. Miss Addie has firm
voice, sweet and pleasant, and the
audience gave testimony of their ap
probation by their generous applause
Fred Palmer gave a solo, "Florence,'
which was we'll received. Fred is get
ting to be quite favorite. Miss En-.
ma Mitchell, niece of DR.. Mitchell, Is 4
late addition TO our musical circle, anC
in her solo, which was well rendered
, left good impression on the minds o.
our people. Miss Rada Rapley needs
no introduction to her Yale friends, 70
she is well known, and in her usua
happy style gave a solo, and was high
ly appreciated.
r Tie ouartette by Miss f. Mitchell
: Mrs H. f. Beard, and Messrs Fergu
= son and Mitchell, was EXCEPTIONAL,
5 fine and gave great satisfaction. tn,
Duet, PPM so shy" by Ina and Ed
? Palmer, brought down the house, anc
S deservedly so, for although they art
| small, yet they are always to the front
e and show talent of no mean order.
7 And last, hut not least, was Mis-
Lula High with her violin solos. Mis-
e Lulu is u power in our en- ertainments
3 and her playing always gives pleasur
y to her Yale friends, as manifested b.
= frequent encores.
Take it altogether the Brick Chape
r people deserve congratulations in be
n ing able to present such rare treat I
f the public, and it is hoped that sucl
:. entertainments may be more frequent
