The opening entertainment in the Y.
NJ. c. A. star course for the season of
1902-03 was given in the Auditorium
"Wednesday evening when MAY Par
ker's Little Pickerinnies and Concert
company appeared before a large audi
ence. The very first number. an in
strumental trio, showed that the audi
ence was in sympathy with the artists,
and although there were II numbers
on the printed program the demand of
the audience and the generosity of the
company was such that twice that
number of selections were given. 1t
was clean. wholesome entertainment
throughout. Miss Florence Beckett,
the flutist, who resigned her position
with the Boston Ladies' Symphony
orchestra to become a member of the
COMPANY, played with rare feeling, and
her mellow tones and gracefulness of
execution combined to make her rem
ditions among the best on the pro-
gram. Among the lady violinists who
have come to Brattleboro Miss Bertha
Webb stands well toward the top of
the list Her selections demanded
a mastery of technique, and she was
warmly applauded. The readings by
Miss Lillian Pierce captivated the
audience, and she was repeatedly re-
called. She is an elocutionist of un-
common ability Frederick Anthony
Weaver, the pianist, had no solo num-
bers, but as an accompanist he gave
satisfaction. The pickaninnies were
three in number, Little Phil, soloist
and miniature comedian, Richard Spar
row. tenor. and Edward Toy, alto. In
their rag-tlme work the youngsters
kept the audience in an uproar, but
when they departed from it the re-
suit was not so pleasing, Little Phil
gave a monologue which was "all
right" The pickaninnies afforded
a variation which is uncommon intcon-
cert entertainments.
