wick. Brady and McDonough led in the fun
making; both were clever, and the antics OF
the former helped out the Jokes immensely.
Many Of the gags had local significance and
were heartily received. D. d,
The first part consisted largely OF end jokes
and the singing OF popular ballads. J. c.

Pherson and ]. ]. McDonough followed each
ether with the songs of the day. The Phil
harmonic quartet, consisting Of ]. c. Brennan,
c, T. Moriarity, James Rush and j. G.. Swift,
opened the second part. William Murphy
gave a good exhibition of club swinging,
Austin Mahsr gave a burlesque on Trilby and
Brady and Gleason provoked more fun as
wholesale and Retail Dealers in Irish
Comedy" Don Morreno's impersonations and
dancing were good. James C. Russell and
McDonough and Gleason appeared before the
farce came on. A one-act comedy, "A
Haunted House." concluded the performance.
Tho auditorium Of Brownell hall was filled
almost beyond its capacity last night with the
invited assemblage which had gathered to
enjoy a Christmas musical given by the pupils
Of the school. The audience was composed
Of music-loving people, as was evidenced by
the more than ordinary attention paid to the
rendition of the numbers Of the program.
Among its members wsre a large number OF
men and women who are prominent In Tie
musical citcles of the city, and the fact that

ability of the young performers was in itself
proof Of ths excellence of the program.
Brownell hall pupils have in the past es-
tablished such a reputation in musical lines
that these who for the time being find them
selves within it's walls must needs exert
themselves to live up to II. This reputation
does more than vouch for excellence of per-
Torrance. 1t absolutely guarantees a musical
program which includes the par excellence of
musical compositions, especially those for the
niann VII Srnh a ~ nd rI n adv ctQh-
lished, therefore, a musical given by pupils of
the institution must be far above the efforts
Of the ordinary youthful performer, whose
education may as yet be unfinished.
For one who has not attended all the
musicals given by the pupils of the school In
the past, 10 say that last nights affair was
superior to any that have been given, would
be unjust. 1t is sufficient TO say that 1t would
be difficult to imagine how 1t could have ben
Surpassed when the youth of the musicians
was taken into account. Certain it is that
tho program itself, from an artistic stand
point, could not well have been improved
upon. Every number upon 1t was rendered
with a finish and technique that reflected
high praise upon the instructors and upon the
performers themselves. The program was:
