Gavin, Marie Gilgallon and Margare,
Purcell. OF Scranton. Music Hall was
we'll filled with able critics. who pro.
nounced the entertainment far beyind
their greatest expectations. Miss AL.
lens vocal and evolutionary efforts
were a wonder and demonstrated that
| the gifted lady possesses marvellous tai
ent as an artist. The sweet singing OF
Miss Blanche Lavan and Anna Mangan
excited the admiration Of their friends
and more than satisfied their anticipa-
ton. Miss Nellie Charles Is worthy of
special mention. Her elocutionary
powers were a surprise to her most in
innate friends and were executed IN
a most perfest manner. Miss Winifred
Durkin also deserves much commenda-
tion for her elocutlonary talent. Miss
Lydia Polen's rendition of Return
March," as a banjourlne solo. was ex-
cellent and excited storm Of applause
which was only appeased by her return
when she again played a portion of the
same piece. Professor w. A. Kelley,
baritone. of Parsons, and James c.
AEwyl, tenor, OF Wilkes-Barre assist
ed in several solos and songs. They
each have splendid voices. and the sing
ing was greatly appreciated. The re-
cital was treat and surpasses any mu-
past.
