ART STUDENTS ENTERTAIN.
They Draw a Big Audience to TheiI
League Benefit.


An audience goodly both in size and ap-
probation was present yesterday after
noon at the Columbia Theater and APP
plauded the efforts of those who appear
ed on the bill at the Art Students s
League benefit. A long and decidedly
unique program was given. This was
divided into four parts, with a long wait
between each One of the most novel
and original portions of the entertain
ment was in set of living pictures,
taken from popular cartoons and ar
ranged by Felix Mahoney, local carl
caturist. There were eight of these, and
so well were they received that future
popularity is assured for them An IL
Illustrated song, built from Hub Smith
famous Listen to My Tale of Woe,' was
also well constructed and enlisted the
services of the composer and Mills
Thompson, not to speak of the little
peach Among those who appeared in
the vaudeville portion of the bill were the
Little Gem Quartet" George OConnor,
Charles Green, Mrs. Tom Noyes, and two
performers who worked under the pre-
sumable noms de theater of Prince
Pierre TroubetzkOy and Gaetano Trenta-
move, such names being unusual even
among art students. A really humorous
travesty on a scene from Quo Vadis''
and a little farce, entitled THE Nerve
of the Needy" completed what was
really artistic and pleasing perfor-
nance. In this appeared George and
Kenneth OConnor, Edward Walsh, Mills
Thompson, Felix Mahoney, William F..
Curtis W. S. Mccarthy, William Ma
honey, and q large and more or less
well trained chorus.
