AT this matinee, the traditional
lethargy Of Grants Pass audiences was
smashed to fragments and the volume
of applause which greeted every number
testified to very abandonment oI
appreciative delight. The program was
virtually doubled as nearly every mum.
ber received an encore. The specially
pleasing feature OF the entertainment
was the violin solo OF Bertha Boffa, a
little girl Of about ten years. Her
mastery OF the instrument is marvellous
and the audience was 30 taken by sur
prise and delight that their appreciation
knew no bounds. When Beriina's bo W
swept the strings, living ecstasy sprang
from them. The tone was so exquisite
and the manipulation VI the instrument
so perfect that it seemed the very soul
Of music to the listeners, and little
Bertha and her violin seemed but
different parts OF one musical entity.
Tears came to the eyes OF many while
she played. Mrs. Brooks sang in her
most pleasing manner and in response
to an encore gave an imitation Of the
vocal efforts OF small children. The
imitation was absolutely perfect and
intensely amusing.
