1t is needless to say with such an excel
lent program and with such an array of
superb talent to execute 1t, the entertain
ment was not only meritorious but pleased
and commended itself to the appreciative
judgment OF the large audience present.
We cannot particulariZe among SO many
but where every song was SO faultlessly
rendered and ell acquitted themselves SO
creditably, it would probably be invidious
to draw distinctions Marietta has not had
an entertainment in long while that
equalled it.
Mrs Dawson, the sweet nignteDgale OF
the Gem City, electrified the audience and
had to appear the second time in response
to an encore.
MIR Griggs, with tenor voice strong
and full of melody and clearness, received
great applause
Mrs Grist, well known for her charming
vocal powers never sang sweeter than on
this occasion.
The tender and captivating alto of the
beautiful Miss Ward held listening ears
in a spell of sweet servitude.
Miss Leila York has melody and beauty
in her well trained voice and a general fa-
vorite with Marietta people.
Mr.. Smith has fine voice, we'll cultiva-

Mr. Will Anderson never sang to better
advantage than in the rendition of 1T

was at his best and was encored with
emphasis aud had to appear the second
time to appease the relentless audience.

The comedians we're very good The
local hits in some instances were too SCI

cisms that convulsed the audience with
laughter time and again.
The mimic juggling of Mr. L N Tram
NELL was very good.
The whistling genius, Mr. Will s Cox,
in his mocking bird rendition, pleased
everybody.
The entertainment shows what fine local
talent we have in point OF excellence No
better voices, no brighter minds and no !
better people anywhere than in Marietta.
The sum realized was a very handsome
one, and everybody will be glad TO see the
