Fully three thousand people came
to Edgerton last Saturday to listen to
the enhancing music of Phinney's
famous band. The concert was an ar
tistic production measured by the solo
performances, and we believe enjoyed by
all in attendance. 1t was free too-a
gift of the enterprising citizens of Edger-
ton who were glad to see the crowd here
and enjoying themselves.
1t was rather small but apprecia-
tive audience that witnessed the pro-
duction of "Quo Vadis" 1T Royal Hall
Wednesday evening. It was really one
of the most meritorious performances
given this season and the characters we'll
maintained throughout. Evidently the
character of the play was not popular in
Edgerton, no other reason can be assign
ed for so light business for so good a
show.
