With this feature aside, however.
| there is nothing but the ideal to say of
the entertainment. In such hands as
those which made up the program, it
goes without saying that the evening
could not be anything but one of rarest
pleasure. The performers were Hugh
Dougall Miss Belhoel. Mr.. Brines. Mrs.
Putnam Ga former pupil OF MacDowelD
SIR. Shepherd and Emma Lucy Gates.
Mr.. Mcclellan was to have given an
organ number but was unable TO be
present. All the others were ut their
worry best. Every number on the pro-
gram was a composition by Mcdowell
and the selections took a wide range.
from the dainty balladic form, to the
tremendous sonata ''croica,' enabling
all who were not prev sly familiar
with the works of the stricken COM
poser, to gain an idea Of the wonderful
extent OF his genius. Mr.. Dougall's
three songs were heartily applauded,
and his fine baritone voice was heard
TO full advantage. Miss Berkhoel's lus-
clous tones and charming style were
employed to the full in the three beau
tiful numbers. Deserted" In the
Skies When Stars are Glowing" and
"Buebell." Mrs. Putnam rendered sew
eral plano numbers In admirable fash
ion. Mr.. Brlnes gave two songs, Con-
fidence" and Nightingale In a style
that showed he is an accomplished
singer, Mr.. Shepherd did the prodi-
gious work of the night In rendering
the big sonata "Eroica' and was en-
Enthusiastically recalled for his MASTER
~ rendition. Miss Gates closed the pro-
gram with four charming renditions

the beautiful birdlike qualities of her
tones.

Grand--"The Little Outcast" drew
q good house at the Grand last even
ing, and the audience was an appre-
ciative one, TOO. The story Is from
the pen of Hal Reid, and the scenes

pretty and interesting. and Is very
capably presented. Ruby Kohl, as
Bob the newsboy. Is especially
pleasing in her role. The depletion
OF the rawlings OF an opium fiend, by
Walter T. Harmon was exceedingly
realistic Mr. Harmon has made a
special study Of the practise that is
the curse OF China and which has
brought ruin and death to many bright
men and women of our own country.
