Entertainment for Ben Hur Lodge.

Entertainment for Ben Hur Lodge.
On Tuesday night y. Floyd Feather

while the table covers and hargings are
heavy satin and silver. As a vocalist
Mr.. FcGtherston neither aspires to the
honOrs of a classic singer nor "coon
shouter," but he sings. comic songs In
an easy. finland way that IS laughable
to an extreme. His humor Is also of an
easy, unstudied character. Hencver wants
for word and possesses the faculty
Of putting a most ridiculous construc-
tion to everyday events on the spur
Of the moment.
Miss Pearl Jordan's portion Of the
program was given in an excellent man
ner. and included music Of every grade
from the best classic to ragtime.
