! pressed on all sides.
The musical service at St. Matthew's
Church was unusually attractive last even

choir over the boys was incalculable and
that this service of Organist Paris r.

strange If for many miles west OF Pitts

can so at will. Calve will sing the whole
fourth act of Hamlet in costume. but
no stage accessories. as before said. To
