PRETTY GIRLS IN DRILLS.
Charming Concert by the Swedish Lu-
theran Congregation.

Charming Concert by the Swedish Lu-
theran Congregation.
OF all the church concerts that have
been enjoyed by Buttes good people,
that given last night by the Swedish
Lutheran congregation must be record
ed in the files as the most successful
of them all. There was not hitch and
the programme was carried out in eV-
ery detail To give praise to one of the
performers or to a single number is to
speak in glowing terms of the entire
list of contributors. The Auditorium
was we'll filled with most interested
audience. After a splendid piano solo
by Miss Christina Hanson, Rev. 0. Til
burn of the Church of Christ made
few remarks, which were particularly
appropriate to the occasion. Being
fluent talker as well as a very instruc-
tive and entertaining one, his br1ef
speech was thoroughly enjoyed. Inc
reverend gentleman, a comparatively
new conner in Butte, made additional
friends last night by his earnest appeal
to the citizens of Butte to assist de-
serving congregation which is just
starting out on the very tedious route
to the completion of a new house OF
worship.
Prof. j. Olson, the Ole Bull of Butte,
delighted and fairly charmed the audi
ence with the rendition of classical
violin selection. Little Helen Johnson
sang a song, after which the audience
was treated to a genuine Swedish song
by chorus of eight male voices, leu
by Mr.. Skoug.
The feature of the evening, the most
pleasing sight of them all, was the
wand drill, executed by 16 young ladies'
This beautiful maze of intricate evo-
buttons was the result of the superior
training of Miss Clara Corbin me
drill was precision itself, and while
there have been other drills in Butte
the wand drill was awarded the palm
by the unanimous vote of last nights
audience. The IS young ladies We're
Misses, Nellie Hamlyn, Grace Wilson,
Sadie Jonas, Bessie Hammer, Mildred
Corbn, Marion Nichols, Helen Tilton,
Matte Fish, Annie Lowry, Lille Dale,
Grace King, Genevieve Davis, Josie
Mulville Emelen Trewin, Helen Pfouts
and Alice Kemper Miss Dorothy Nc
Laur gave true version of the child
specializing on the wonders of speech.
1t was a clever dialect recitation, but
the young lady's voice is not so volum-
nous as the hall, therefore those sit
ting far from the stage missed the
treat
The rainbow drill by II midget maid
ems was a beautiful and cleverly exc
Hughes, who so cleverly recited at the
Carr entertainment last month, again
entertained her hearers with recita-
ton. The audience was surprised after
the first notes of a selection by Miss
Elmo Jaquette had been sung. This
young lady has talent which must some
day he her fortune. Her singing, di-
vinely sweet, clear and soft, with ele-
gance of enunciation and grace conn
bined with that ease of execution the
high notes are linked with those along
down the scale in sparkling chain of
perfect melody. She was ably assisted
by Mr.. Webb at the piano. Little Miss
Edna MCGOWAN, the oratorical wonder
who on former occasions has charmed
her audience, recited a patriotic selec-
ton with cleverness and ease.
The Swedish male chorus assisted
very ably Mr.. Skoug, who sang Co
lumbia" A few congra tulatory re-
marks We're made by A. J. Carlson on
behalf of the congregation and the pas
tor, after which the entertainment con-
cluded with a tableau.
