The first number on the program
after Miss Sundstrom's opening solo,
was piano selection by Miss Florence

the performance was excellent, and
she received the applause of the audi

performed and brought generous APP
plause. Miss Florence Medium fol-

sweet voice, and her use of it pleased
the audience quite we'll. Next came
piano duet by Misses Belle Daggett
and Miriam briggs which was well
played and eXacted a tribute of praise
from the audience. A solo by Miss
Blanchard followed. Her voice, which
is very pleasing alto, showed excel

Next came a piano selection by Ralph

AnQther reading by Miss Rose
caught the fancy of the audience and
they promptly called her back, She

which was sung very beautifully, as
the praise bestowed by the audience
indicated, 1t was followed by a piano
selection from IiSzt, very difficult
music, but the plauditS which Miss
Norma Medium won from the audi

the piano as well as to have ability to
interpret that great master. Mrs
Lewis who next sang a solo has a vel
cultivated voice of great range, and
although the audience expected great
things of her, they were net aisap
pointed, and they did not hesitate t.
express their appreciation.
A selection by the orchestra was
greeted as it always is by the cheers
of the multitude.
Mrs. Poe followed with solo which
was fully up to the very high standard
she maintains as vocalist, and wa.
applauded accordingly.
One of the voices that prom Use!
great possibilities is that of Mis-.
Susie T9wpSley who appeared next OF

given by her hearers.
