The musical and dramatic entertain ment given under the auspices of the 1 Crescent of the Hillhouse high school in the Hyperion last evening was 8 | brilliant success The theatec was well l filled with delighted audience, and bursts of appreciatiye appliance were l frequent.
 | The program opened with trio, ''or, Come to the Sea-" sung by Messcs. Eb-
 enezer Learned, w. Schneeloch and c. Mears, which was well rendered. The | duet Mountain Riders" by Bordese,
 sung by Mrs Emile Schneeloch- 3usse and Mrs. Emma Schneeiocn Bacon. was | very prettily rendered and they had to | respond to an encore. They sang | Waltz Prime Methuselum." Each was presented with fine bouquet of lilies. Their voices blended finely. The next | number was a violin solo, Prize Song, l from Wagner's "Meistersinger," which
 was very artistically rendered by Miss Belle Manross Sigourney of the Conser- vatory of Music in Boston. She played | for an encore "Kujiawiak." by Wieni- awski. She was the recipient of g.
 handsome bouquet of red carnations | MT. Edward c. Woodstock then sang a tenor solo, "Sancta Maria" by J. Faure He was accompanied on the cello by MT. Ebenezer Learned, who showed
 much skill as 'celloist Miss Busse's soprano solo, Cavatina from Linda di ChamouniX," was very sweetly sung, and for an encore she sang Jenny by
 Harry Pepper, which Is a very catchy
 song and took exceedingly well with the audience.
 Miss Sigourney's violin solo, Rev erie,' by Fauconier, and 'Mazurka Characteristique," by Wieniawski, were very prettily rendered. She played for
 an encore Intermezzo Caveleria Rusti- l cana Miss Sigourney's playing was of
 a very high order, her lowing and touch being exquisite.
 The last number on the first part of the program was a bass solo, Thy Sem
 tinel Am l." by Michael Watson, sung
 by Mir. Samuel De Seviere. He was
 loudly applauded and responded. MT.
 Seviere's voice was in excellent condi- ton.
 The second part of the program in- troduced the Crescent Dramatic club in W. D. Howelps amusing farce entitled The Sleeping Car,'' which was produc- ed under the direction of Jerome F. Donovan, who deserves much credit for his untiring efforts in making the farce a success, which it surely was. The | cast who so admirably carried out their
 parts were Mrs. Agnes Roberts, F. $. Hum; Aunt Mary, R. s. Kearney; the Californian, William E. Morgan; MT. Edward Roberts, J. D. Mcintyre; MT. Willis Campbell, R. H. Schneeloch; the Conductor, A. M. Gray; the Porter, w. J. Scranton. The scene was that of Q
 sleeping car with all the compartments on 8 Boston and Albany railroad train. It was in three acts, viz: Act 1, Even-
 ing; Act 2, Midnight; Act 3, Morning. All of the cast deserve praise.
 The stage was then cleared. and be- ing crashed" made an excellent place
 for the dance which followed. Will Hams orchestra furnished the music.
 The club gladly acknowledges the courtesy of the NJ. Steinert Se Sons com- pany and the Bowditeh Furniture com
 pany for the use of the Steinway piano
 and the draperies, respectively. The efficient committee were Ralph
 Hugo Schneeloch, chairman; 4. Merwin Gay and Clifford ". Langley.
