colored vocal and vaudeville talent is
very popular in Wheeling, and de-
servedly so. The prominent feature
is the ~1sic, which is of an exception
ally high order for an organization of
its kind. The audiences were large at
every performance, and twice the
standing room sign was hung out.

for higher standard, and to have
met with more success than any Or
