were difficult even for professionals,
but he delivered them in an easy and
forceful manner, his rendition of VIII
Carleton's "A Handsomer Man" being
exceptionally good and the enthusiastic
and unanimous applause was well de-
served.
"Somerville has always been noted
for Its literary and musical young peo-
pie, and has furnished many a star in
the histrionic armament, but none shine
brighter or give promise of more brill

would not be amiss TO prefix "Profes-
