and three charming ladies' who assist
MN made 1t happy, merry evening
Tor everybody present. There was
not a dull moment from Miss Inez
] Brown first piano solo to the last
uproaring moment of that rich farce.
"A Husband in Clover. Take it all
in all the entertainment was one of
the most refreshing and most delight
teu ever given by a concert COM
pany in the city.
Mr.. Newman's company this seas
on Is If anything stronger than ever
before. Every member is an artist
oil the highest talent consequently
er.
Miss Inez Brown is one of the most
brilliant piano soloists that has
ever appeared before a Grand June
ton audience. The difficult compo-
siiions were handled by her with re
markable ease and her mastery of the
piano is complete. Her opening Sc
lection last evening was enhancing
and the audience was truly apprec-
iative and responsive. Miss Browns
work as an aecompanist deserves the
highest praise.
The soprano soloist is Miss Pau
line Perry Woolston. who easily ranks
as one of the leading singers of the
west. Her voice is one of remarkable
beauty, wonderfully clear and of re-
markable power. She has L charm
ing personality. In our opinion a
necessary attribute to all successful
singers. The rendition of the Flow
er Song from Faust was perfect
and clearly demonstrated. Miss
Woolston's ability as n soloist
Dainty Dorethea" proved a popular
number in fact every selection rem
dered by the youg lady, who was re

Miss Charlotte Bixler holds com

highest gifts. She captured the big
audience with her first selection and
she was forced to respond to encore
after encore. She plays with admir-
able ease and grace and her every
number was a difficult one Carmen
Fantasia" was splendidly rendered
me medley of old popular airs, in
cluding Dixie. "On the Swanee
River ." Annie Laurie made

OF coure the talent and natural
accomplishments of Joe Newman, that
ever popular singer and comedian
is too well known to Grand junction
people to call for comment. He was
at his best last night and his every
appearance on the stage called for a
storm Of applause. His new songs
were all good catchy and breezy
Give Me the Leavin s.. Its Rather
Foolish" That's the End of the
Chapter" and When America is
Captured by laps" We're perhaps the
most pleasing of his repertoire.
The littel plays, Gentleman Jim
and "a Husband in Glover" were
great, and added charm to the var
led and ever gladsome program.
Joseph Newman, as Jack Culverton
and Miss Brown as Mary Sinclair
sketch, Gentleman Jim" The char
acter of the nervous. pretty and vi
vacious young journalist Just fitted
Miss Brown while Mr.. Newman was
perfect in his character.
"A Husband in Glover" is beyond
doubt one of the prettiest and most
amusing little plays ever seen on the
local stage. Miss Woolston was de-
lightful as the little wife who led
her husband, who was tired of a lie
of monotony. such merry chase and
caused him so much uneasiness. She
proved that she was as talented as an
actress as she is a singer. Newman
as Dalton was great, better than
great. he was immense. There was
a laugh every second and the little
play proved a fitting and happy clos
ing number of the evenings enter
iainment.
Joe Newman and his company are
deserving of the richest and COM
plete success. four more versatile OF
more high class artists have not Wis
tied Grand Junction this year.
