izations of the North Side schools at the
Opera House last Friday evening, WAS
one OF the largest ever accommodated
in the building 1t We'd in size with
that which was present Mt the elocutiou-
ary contest, and went To demonstrate the
intense interest which the people O. inc
North Side feel in the schools.
The entertainment itself wM' most
pleasing The North Side schools have
become well known for their musical
advantages and last Friday they added
new !nurels To their crown. Moreover
the work done by the children Of some
of the lower grades WAS quite in the ma
ture Of u revelation. Especially to be
| recommended was the singing of the
5th, 9th ani 7th Grades Of both the Lu
ling and Park schools These young
pupils gave some two part songs with
remarkable accuracy
The drilling of the youngsters WAS Q
feature which ELECTED considerable
laughter and applause. The costumes
and the arrangement We're excellent.
Particularly WAS this the case with such
pieces M Wee wees and Brownies
Mach of the Japanese Lanterns,
May Pole Dance" and March of the
Sun Bonnet Babies" The involuntary
acting of the little ones was delight
| Once or twice II roar OF merriment
swept over the audience when some tot
with open anxiety reproved some other
for come real or fancied breach Of in
structons, They all seemed TO take y
keen enjoyment In going through the
drills.
The first part of the program WAS en-
tirely taken up with the drills aud songs
of the grade children Part two WAS
devoted to the High School. The work
In this part was, as usual excellent.
| but one disappointment connected with
it was the fact that thedii alee Club.
| by fur the most satisfactory organiza-
| tion of the lot, was given no insignificant
II portion. The High School chorus
| might with better effect have been dis
pensed with in Mt least one OF Its nun
bers in order To give the Girls Glee Club
| fuller representation However the
chorus work was IN its way very com
mendable The singing of the soldiers
chorus from Faust was on the whole
exceptionally we'll done
| Special mention should bc made Of
the Boys Glee Club, an organization Of
moro recent birth than that Of the
girls The improvement made In this
club has been rapid and the effort last
Friday met with instant and hearty APP
probation on the part OF the audience.
The High School orchestra did not
come quite mp to expectations. Il has
not made the improvement that the
other organizations have made. Its
performance Friday showed lack OF sys-
tematic practice and demonstrated that
| what il needed in loss attention To the
selection Of ambitious pieces and more
TO keeping the instruments accurately
IN accord However another year
should show marked advance In this re-
| gard and the organization il to be con
graduated on what it has already done.
