pecially considering the worthy object of

numbers Of the program showed the high
character OF the evening q entertainment

Clarke delighted the audience with one
OF her telling and realistic readings. Ike
vocalists OF the evening were MrssF s.

selections were rendered ard we regret
not having space tn mention ~ those
