Concert by the Bell Ringers.

The opening entertainment in the Star
this evening, the concert opening at $50
o'clock. The Almondbury bell ringers,
for three years champions Of England,
are now on their first American tour and
winning fresh laurels wherever they have
been heard With a peal of 1872 bells
they render selections from the world
famous composers, and give beautiful
imitation of church bells and chimes.
With them are two Evolutionary stars,
Miss Eva Bartlett Macy and Walter
David. Miss Macy is a graduate of
Emerson College of Oratory and has en-
tertained large audiences in all parts of
the United States. Mr.. David's work as
an impersonator and humorist is full OF
drollery and his facial expressions are
splendid. The entertainment promises
to be one of the most unique ever given
here, and single tickets may be obtained
at Bingham's drug store or at the door.
OF Miss Maceys work the Boston Herald
says: "The readings by Miss Macy
were of high standard and excellently
rendered. She is perfect success and a
great card for any occasion"
And of Mr.. David the Everett Herald
SAYS: "Mr. David's facial expression is
a study. His perfect ease, and his great
tact in making his audience see a point,
show him possessed Of natural ability
in his readings that would give much
older artists cue that many OF them dc
not possess"
