Society was out en- masse at the entertainment
| given under the auspices of the Woman's gull
| Of St. Lukes church, when Miss Ethel Chase
| formerly of Wilkes Barre was the monologuis
| Of the occasion, and Miss Grace Spencer sang
Every one went away delighted with the pro
| gramme. Miss Chase more than fulfilled all an
| tcipations Her work is much in the style o
| Beatrice Herford but she has much originalit
and a clever adaptability to a wide range q
character sketches. She is peculiarly successful
in the meanderng monologues OF the villag
/ elderly woman, while her "coon sketches" ar
| admirable.
| The strongest piece of the evening was
| adaptation OF the well known story by Richar
| Harding Davis, "The Boy Orator of Zepat
| City" in which she certainly swayed her audi
| ence with a power equal 10 that of a finishe
| actress She is pretty and graceful and wa
| gowned in faultess taste The 1.-the beauty
| her figure is well adapted to the little sketch.
| by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the coOred poet, an
| her rendering of 'Miss Angelina johnson" wa
uniquely charming. The number which mos
| pleased the audience was her own origina
| sketch, "Sliss Pickens at Afternoon Tea"
Miss Grace Spencer was in magnificent voic
/ last night, and sang numDer Of pretty songl
| none more delightfully."- rendered than the Tos
| "Bolero' Her French accent is most satisfac
/ tory. The Grieg solo was exceptionally well rel
| dered, and Nevin's "Rosary' is seldom hear
| with better effect. She was accompanied by Nj
| Doersam.
The stage effect was one of the distinct plea
| ures of the evening. II was decidedly spring
| like, with a picturesque mass of lilies at I'll
left, while beyond was grouped quantity
daisies.
