Missions Observation-Disclosures
OF

Society appeared in vaudeville at Eng
lish's Theater last night. This occasion was
a benefit for the Eleanor Hospital and
about $500 Was realized for that institution.
An audience representative of the best So
ciety people in the city witnessed the per-
Torrance.
The entertainment was staged by Hector
Fuller and its success spoke we'll for his
judgment. So far as the front of the
house was concerned the show went" be-
yond expectations. Those who saw it said
that it equaled any semi-professional effort
ever made in the city. Although the pro-
gramme was not long, II was received with
the greatest enthusiasm by those who wit
messed it. A disappointing feature was the
absence of Mr.. Charles Major, of Shelby
Vile, who was prevented from being pres
ent by illness, but who sent a check for 30
to the hospital fund.
The programme was opened by Russell
Powell. who sang a number of coon
songs, responding to several encores. Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh McGibeny's sketch was en-
thusing. Mrs. McGibeny recited Frank L.
StantOn's "COlored Regiment Band, &C

which made a hit with the audience
Mr.. and Mrs. Burton, of this city, filled
the gap in the programme made by the alb
sence of Charles Major with a dancing spe-
cialty.
Mrs. George f.. Hunt and Mr.. W. II. Nor
rison rendered a number of selections from
San Toy in a pleasing manner and Miss
Emma Messing sang a picture song, by
Mrs. Emil Wulschner. following it with
"Sambo, a rag-time ditty.
The entertainment closed with a sketch
by Mrs. Elsie Lombard Brush, assisted by
Mrs. s. Z. Morss. The sketch was really a
m monologue, in which Mrs.
Brush revealed an imposing personality
and displayed all of her skill. The charac-
ter she took was versatile. She was alter
nately buoyant and lachrymose; a true
heart far away overcame a rich heart
close at hand; 1t was a triumph of the true
American over the exotic, but interesting,
character. 1t was unfortunate that Mrs.
Brush's sketch was last on the programme,
because ii prevented proper recognition by
the audience. As il was II was the hit Of
the evening and displayed Mrs. Brush's
talent TO the best advantage.
