WESLEY CHORUS GAVE RECITAL.
Under Auspices of Asbury N. E. Sunday
School Library Association, it was Well
Attended and a Pleasant Affair.


The Opera House was fairly we'll
crowded last Thursday evening to hear
the recital given by Wesley Chorus
of Dover under the auspices of the AS
bury M. E. Sunday School Library
Association. The entertainment was
well rendered and complimentary re-
marks have been passed on every hand
on talent displayed. The solo sing
ers especially attracted attention.
Mrs. Miriam Sheppard Davidson is al
ways a favorite with Smyrna audi
ence, and her renditions were ap-
plauded every time to the encore.
Miss Wharton appeared for the first
time and made a popular hit, showing
a strong cultivated voice which she
had under excellent control. She was
encOred and sang a comic song that
was a clever "take off" on the young
people of Smyrna. Miss Matilda Con-
we'll, was also we'll received by the
Smyrna folks, with whom she has been
frequent visitor. She first appeared
q. in a duett with Mrs. Davidson and
when encored sang contralto solo.
State Senator S. S. Pennewill dis
played an excellent tenor voice and 50
we'll was it received that the audience
would not let him off without an en-
; core. Master LaMert Guyer, the boy
; soprano of St. Johns Church choir,
Wilmington, and Master Walter
; Haefner, the boy harpist Of Philadel-
; phia, also gave pleasing numbers of
the program.
The proceeds of the recital amounted
to SS4.OO from which Asbury NJ. E.
Sunday School Library will cleal
y about S2S. 90. All that was cleared oil
u the half allotted to the Wesley Chorus
management will go toward the benefi
