The largest audience of the Star
Course assembled at Village Hall,
Tuesday evening, and were highly en-
tertained by the fine musical numbers
given by Miss Jennie Mae Spencer
contralto soloist, and Miss Dora Da
mon, cornetist. These ladies are very
gifted and were encouraged by fre
duent encores. Miss Belle Temple
reader, was accorded a cordial wei
come, and gave excellent satisfaction
bv her selections. The combination
was all that could be desired, the only
thing to mar the entire success of the
entertainment was the chilliness Of
the atmosphere in the hall, which one
wag described as an ''Open air concert.
We expect there will be demand fol
the Spencer -Damon-Tempie attraction
for next season, should the Star Course
! be continued.
