"The Day of Judgment Phelps Ward.
GLADYS EDNA BARRON.
Another selection from favorite
author which never fails to please.
From the commencement of the recital
Of the city lad who with his brother
went into the country, only to fall
through the old chimney at what he
supposed was the contact of the comet
with the earth, until the appearance of
his aunt. The young lady gave an al
most perfect impersonation of this little
boy, never forgetting the characters she
was portraying, and when she left the
stage it was with such loud applause
that it was easy to sec that if the audi
ence could settle the prize awards she
would not be left out, and she was not
for she was given the second prize, and
was only one point behind Mr.. Walker
for first.
"The Prosecution of Mrs. Dulett" Page,
ETHEL MAUD KEITH.
Her manner of telling how the West
erner described the forgery of his name
by his wife, and how he was finally in
duced not to commence the proceedings
was pleasing to the large audience and
many placed her on the list little think
ing she would be forgotten by the
Judges, but she was, for her averages
only gave her fourth place. She had
good stage presence and fine voice.
Solo "Good Bye Sweet Day. Vannah
MISS GRACE PAIGE.
Those who were not present when
this vocal selection was rendered most
certainly missed the best feature OF the
evening. Barre has several good alto
singers, but at no public entertainment
for many day have the people OF this
city listened to a more pleasing selection
by local alto Miss Paige was at hel
best during the entire rendering OF the
difficult number. So clear were he1
words, so pleasing the tones that ever
those not musically inclined were made
| to enjoy the number. Without seem
incly any effort the whole selection wa:
: given in such fine and pleasing wa,
; that it is safe to say that Miss Paige will
= always be in damand as Barre's pleas
, ing and fully competent alto singer
, The applause at its close eclipsed il
l amount any of the evening.
