GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL PUPILS SCORE
ANOTHER BIG SUCCESS.
Grand Opera House Filled to the Doors
on Tuesday Evening With People Who
Came to Witness the Brilliant Work of
the Convent Scholars.

Came to Witness the Brilliant Work of
the Convent Scholars.
The pupils of St. AIMS parochial
schools gave their fifth annual enter
tainment at the Grand opera house on
Tuesday evening before an audience
which completely filled the building. 1t
has become customary, at the close Of
each school term, for the talented young
| pupils of the convent schools to give an
entertainment the like of which is not
seen at any other time of the year, nor
eqnalled by any other than themselves.
Their yearly exercises have become a
feature among the amusements of the
town, and are attended by more people
than any other similar enterprise during
| the year The church basement can no
| longer house the tbrongs, and the Grand
opera house, the largest building in
| town, is taxed to its utmost to accom-
modate the attendents, and this for two
nights.
The high standard set by the first en-
tertainment, given five years ago in the
church basement, has been fully main
tanned, and Tuesday evenings produc-
tion cannot help but add to tho already
great popularity of the pupils. The
Sisters of Mercy, whose patient and
laborious work was so brilliantly re-
flected by their pupils, cannot be ac-
corded too much praise for the success
of the exercises, for from the standpoint
of one in the audience the character of
their work was made evident and was
proven to be admirable.
To analyze each number on the pro-
gramme for the purpose of showing
wherein it was pleasing, would be un-
necessary, as the conclusion would be
the same in every case, and may be OK
pressed by the simple word "good"
From the moment the grand opening
chorus, "Magnificat," was sung in Latin
by all the pupils, each succeeding num-
Der was greeted with constantly increas
ing interest.
Among the most attractive features of
the programme, because of being parti
pated in by the largest numbers, and in
which the costumes were beautiful, were
the Clowns Fantasy" "Gossips Pan
tomime, "Calisthenics, ""Scarf Dance"
Japanese Salute" and THE Peri"
Tho recitations and musical selections
were well chosen and admirably render
ed. The boys comedy sketch was i'm
mensely pleasing.
The exercises will be repeated this
evening, beginning at o'clock.
