Entertainment Last Night.
The attractive program offered by the
Catholic summer school Saturday night
drew packed house to the Fuller 1t
is safe to say that the entertainment
exceeded the anticipatons of the audi
eLCe. The program opened with a
duet, Has Sorrow Thy Young Days
Shaded by Miss Minnie Gill and DR.
j. d. Purcell This was heartily en-
Cored. Miss Arnold of Omaha then
sang sweetly The Last Rose of Sum
mer, and was also encored. Or Pur-
cell then rendered The Kerry Dance,
and was obliged to respond to an en-
core
DR.. Thomas Harris lecture on Irish
Lyric Poetry was a treat. He is a
polished speaker and he interspersed
his talk with liberal quotations from
the treasures of Irish song He de-
scribed the early Druidical haIds of
Erin who sang at banquets of patriot
ism and valor and preserved the gen
alogy of families On the conversion
of Ireland to christianity, these re-
manned with families or travelled abou
as harpers. All their songs breathe a
fierce love of home and kindred. Ire
land is the natural home of song an'
though not many long poems exist the
short are legion. Exile, tyranny an
famine have tinged all Erins history
with sorrows sad tone. This is tn
prevailing note in all Irish songs n
grander poems of patriotism and love
exist than are found in Ireland's album
of song.
On the conclusion of his lecture Miss
Minnie f. Gill accompanied on the
harp by Miss Bessie Kelley, sang the
Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Hall.
and DO You Love Me? Miss Arnold
followed with Oft In the Silly Night
and in response to an encore closed
the entertainment with Eugene Field $
Little Boy Blue
