Years and Financial Success.
The celebra ton of the feast of Ire
lands apostle in Salt Lake. aside from
the religious feature, has in past years
always taken the form of concert and
literary entertainment. This year was
no exception, except that the affair of
Sunday night eclipsed all others in
eclat and in substantial recognition of
the claims of our little orphans. The
programme. which consisted of Irish
music almost entirely, was a glowing
tribute to the patron saint of the dear
old Isle and the financial results proved
more than satisfactory.
The first number on the programme
was the Star Spangled Banner" by
the entire Cecelian chorus of ST. Mary's
cathedral The children made beau
hful and inspiring picture, under cal
clum lights, dressed in white with lit
tie tots only three years old in the
front row, to the tall young ladies in
the rear of the stage. Each had an
American flag that was waved in ting
with the music. The little green flag
was also quite conspicuous. The ma
tional song over. the children sang
Three Leaves of Shamrock" with
sweet voiced Clara Fafek as the solo
on as beautiful a tableau as was ever
seen on the Theatre stage
The next number was Scanlan's
Swing Song" with Margaret Fitzger-
aid as Soloist. This was very pretty
number, and it elected much applause
H. S. Goddard's magnificent baritone
voice was next heard in THE Minstrel
Boy" by Moore. He responded to a
thunderous encore with The Dear Lit
tie Shamrock.
The "Housemaid's DriIr' was well
done by the little ones, with Ella Nc
Cullough. Nellie Carr and Mamie Mar
ron in the principal parts.
A medley of Irish Melodies was next
sung by the twenty-four beautiful
young girls of the Junior choir. with
Lille Meyer. Halle Foster, Ivy Evans
Katherine Mcclellan and Clara Fafek
as soloists.
Miss Fannie Little. who was to as
sist in the latter number, was unfortu-
nately prevented by illness from ap-
pearing. Two songs by the tiny tots
with Margaret Connolly and Gladys
Hegney as soloists. won much APP
plause. Miss Rosemary Glosz won all
hearts in her beautiful rendition. of
Moore's melody, Believe Me if All
Those Endearing Young Charms" She
ItSIOuuLu " d IlOSl enthusiastic en-
core. and sang the popular Kerry
Dance" Although i'll with a severe
cold. Miss Glosz made a strong effort
to appear rather than disappoint her
audience Mrs. Robert Herman rem
dered Kathleen Mavourneen' in
most artistic manner, and responded
to an encore by singing a dainty Irish
ballad, Kitty of Coleraine.''
Never before in this city was the
Harp that Once" played as skillfully
as by Messrs. Shelton, Schettler and
Scrace on violin, guitar and mandolin.
So great was the applause that they
were forced to respond with another
number. Miss Egan. accompanied by
Miss DAILY played very beautiful harp
solo. Miss Egan is very proficient on
this difficult instrument. She also ac-I
companied with harp, Miss Glosz and
Mrs. Herman in their solos.
Long Ago a pretty action song by
Lena Tafek, Clara Hughes, MAZDA
Hegney and Dolly Williams was a very
amusing number.
Little Margaret Connolly delighted
the large audience with a pretty song,
Il Don't Want to Get Big" Tiny Luz
cine Compson also sang a wee solo and
won much applause. The Flag We
Love" was a very beautiful number by
the young girls OF the choir, with
pretty May O'Neil as flag bearer. Little
Mary Halloran as usual made dis
tinct hit in two songs. She's Irish"
and 'Chink. Chink Song" She is
dainty little fairy and her work is al
most professional in its finish. She ap-
peared with her brother Ruel HaIloran
liz pretty song and dance that
brought the greatest applause of the
evening. Beatrice Williams and Nellie
Geary were two sweet little singers
