us hrst public performance at the
Hefferlin opera house. and the NAV

thuslastic audience that ever assem-
Died in this city for many a dav. The
attendance was not large. but what if
lacked in numbers it made IN in ON
thuslasm and as each number on the
programme was performed, those pres
ent gave evidence of their hearty an
prevail by vigorous and prolonged an
plause. This encouraged the perform
ers and gained for the auditors addi-
tonal pleasure in the way of choice
encore pieces with which the perform
ers responded. Every number on the
programme was a gem, and all We're
encored with enthusiasm. The first
number was the Douglass two-step by
the Mandolin Club. This was followed
by guitar solo by Mr. Morris and a
mandolin solo by Mr. Joslyn. Follow
lnS these was a cornet solo by Joe
BROOKS and a VOCol solo by Mrs Bonnie.

expression, and We're among the best
numbers of the evenings performance.

followed by a piCColo solo by Harry
Bradfield. The performance closed by
the rendition of Home, Sweet Home"

b. Joslyn. Mr.. Joslyn, as musical di-
rector, is entitled to great deal of
credit for bringing the club to its pres
ent state of perfection, no less than for
his splendid exhibition of musical tai
ent in the parts on the programme. Fl
nancially the venture was all that could
be desired, and the members of the club
are jubilant over the success of their
entertainment.
