ENTERTAINMENT AT
SACRED HEART ACADEMY
Large Hall of the academy Was
Crowded-Programme Highly En-
joyed by the Audience Event
Was Complimentary to Father

Cushnahan.
The entertainment at the Sacred
Heart academy in honor of st. Patrick
and in compliment to Rev. P. NJ. Cush-
| nahan, was artistic, and meritorious
from every standpoint 1t is a source
OF pride for Ogden people to know that
/ an institution exists within the borders
| of the city where so much genuine tall
ent is to be found and where instruc-
tors so jealous and capable in the di-
recting of that talent are in charge.
Everything from the state to the very
close was carried out with precision
and completeness, ueEoting infinite
pains. The hall was prettily decorated
with the national colors and emblems
of Ireland and the musical part of the
programme was for the most part COM
posed of Irish melodies, out of compli-
ment to the day, and to Rev. Cushna-
han, in whose honor the programme
was arranged.
The musical numbers included Sc
lection, Killarney" by the Junior yo-
cal class, and "Erin's Emblem" the
words and music of which were com
posed by a pupil of st. Mary's academy
of Notre Dame, Ind. Miss Avery rem
dered the difficult solo, Bird of the
Mountain" in a sweet, clear voice that
displayed to advantage her fine vocal
talents, and for an encore gave "Kath-
leen MaYourneen." This occasion was
probably the final appearance of this
young singer in Ogden for number of
years, as she leaves soon for Wash
lngton to reside with her mother Mrs
A. B. Hayes. Miss Dagmar johnson ac-
companied Miss Avery with violin OBJ
llgato, and also gave a solo, .'St. Pat
rick Day" which showed this young
lady's artistic grasp of the master in
strument. The, Harp That Once
Through Tara's Halls" and Rory
O'More,' were two popular piano num-
bers rendered by Miss McCarty and
Miss O'Connell
The -Cecelian club, comprising violirs,
guitars, mandolins and harp, rendered
Inc Minstrel Boy in the usual pleas
ing style.
The senior vocal class very acceptably-
rendered We'll Gaily Sing and Play. y
Little Maggie Mercer sang very pref
tily indeed Little Irish Nell" and had
to repeat.
A very interesting feature of the en-
tertainment was the tambourine drill
executed by thirty three girls in cos
tunes of pale Blue with white trmi-
mings. The audience would not be sat
lshed till the entiree drill was given
oSaih. II was capLalned by little Alice
Coltman. who is every inch. a captain.
The literary features of the affair
were a very spirited recital of "Fon-
tenoy,' by Miss O'Connell, the Garden
scene" between Mary Stuart and Queen
Elizabeth, by Misses Harcombe and
Mcguire who entered into their re-
spective roles with a vigorous effec-
tiveness.
There was also Shakespearean ex-
erclse in which the prominent women
characters of Shakespeare were imper-
sonated and famous lines of their dia-
logue recited. The following were the
