II TIE social session committee of III,
hh'se and that they worked hard /,
make tn. event splendid success
was evidenced last night by the yer,
aehEhiitl program rendered hy the
participants.
AT $50 O'Clock the ladies and gen.
I tlemen participating in the program
marched into the lodge room and
too5e seats on the platform in a semi
circle. following the style of minstrel
J aggregations. Messrs. Gallupe and

being in black face.
The first number OF the program
( was vocal solo by Mrs Limbaugh
''Serenade in Summer" Mrs. Linn.
I haugh has frequently given pleasure
/ to Grand Junction audiences and last
nights selection gave her opportun-
/ ity TO render a most beautiful solo
/ Her voice while not extraordinary
in volume has a sweetness which al
ways makes splendid music.
Frank G. Leslie followed with a
selection, in the Deep Cold Sea. -
Mr.. Leslie is always heard with pleas
ure, his deep basso being of pure
quality and tone and rarely ever fail
&
may hear him
The mission of Rose" a vo-
al solo by Miss Avis Hardy was heard
with much pleasure. Miss Hardy has
an evenly balanced soprano voice
without any harshness whatever in its
composition. As the youthful little
lady has appeared but few times in
public she was listened to with rare
pleasure by the audience, who gave
her rousing reception at the con
clusion of her number.
One of the catchy numbers of the
evening was the very new song now
much in vogue, Everybody Works
but Father" This was by Mr.. Jack
Gallupe and with the addition of the
chorus by the company brought down
the house with storms of applause.
Mr.. Gallupe's voice was a little in
discord, but this mattered little. the
swing and dash of the composition
was there and caught on at once with
the company present.
Miss May Converse was heard for
the first time last night in public and
that she was fully compensated for
the splendid effort she made, was full
ly evinced by the liberal applause she
received at the conclusion of her rem
dition of the song Sometime. Miss
Converse has n very fine soprano
voice, full of melody and her manner
won for her at once the sympathy and
appreciation of those who heard her
in the number.
Too many duties crowded upon
Mr.. Jack Conley last night to make
his singing as effectual as usual.
With the dual duties of interlocutor
and chorus master he had much bur
dtn upon him and his song, you are
the Flower of my Heart Sweet AIDE
line" was not so well rendered as is
usual with Mr.. Conley.
AS a very delightful interlude be-
tween the vocal numbers Miss Gladys
Brainadr, who is unquestionably one
of the most brilliant pianists in the
state played piano selection, waltz
by Wanienski. Miss Brainard has
the technique of finished pianist,
which she unquestionably is and there
was much interest manifested in her
playing, by those who had not heard
her before. She has given years OF
study to instrumental composition
and playing and at the conclusion of
her first number she was compelled
to respond to a most demonstrative
recall. which she did most gracious
ly Miss Brainard, beyond any ques-
ton has profited by her years of most
intense application and her many
friends in this city are only too happy
to accord her an abundant measure
of appreciation and applause.
One of the swinging, riotous, de-
lightful negro songs, There's
Black Man with a Bundle was given
to Miss Lillian Sawyer for interpre-
tatfon and those who have heard Miss
SAWYER before know that 1t was in eX-
cellaut hands. Miss Sawyer has every
element of a stage artist, she is
fully composed, has a sweet voice and
her every movement on the stage is
grace itself. as If to the manor born.
She was assisted in the chorus by the
company and It was one of the num-
bers of the program that was most
telling and pleasing, albeit not so
artistic as some of the other numbers
Harry johnson. who has a well de-
served reputation as an amateur COM
edian and minstrel followed MISS
SAWYER with the very taking negro
song SHANE on You Mr.. John
son not only gave the song a splen-
did rendition, but he acted the part
and his dialect was pure and whole
some, from the negro STANDPOINT .I-
The chorus in this was strong ana the

effect.
Miss Bertha Bloom rendered a
whistling solo, 1.-The Shepherd
Evening" Miss Bloom is born
whistler. She trilled and triumphed
in the high and low whistling notes,
as the veriest wooded songster. She
was recalled most insistently by the
audience and gave another very ell
factiva number
The best in the minds of many, on
the nrogram was saved for the CON
ending number of the soloists Mr..
NJ v. Stiles. a temporary resident OF
the Grand Valley. but who has sung
With the Bostonians in leading parts
in lbs famous opera company was
heard in several selections MT
STILES has a masterful, rich voice
whose volume was far too great Tor
the very limited space of the lodge
room He sang as his first selection
s.1rbe Crusaders Song" from Maid
Marion. This gave opportunity for
MIR, stiles to give his friends some
idea of his splendid voice and truly
the beauty of the song was not lost
on his auditors. as they sat entranced
during every note sung by this gem
tIeman. The applause that follow
ed the conclusion of the number was
insisfent. so compelling that. MI
stiles was compelled to return TO the
piapo and give another NUMBER
