lent Performance by Local People Who Did Themselves Honor.


 fairs was given at the Elks theater Wednesday night when an Old Time Concert was rendered under aus pices of St. Cecelia's Guild of Trim ity Episcopal church.
 As will be seen by the program be lew. the best musical and histrionic talent of the city took part and every member appeared at their best.
 'Old time" costumes were worn by the characters, who sang old time" songs and the melody of these songs sung by those who are recognized as having the sweetest and most c1llti- vated voice touched a tender chord in the hearts of the large concOnrse of people present.
 Among those who, by their splendid talents and sweet voices won the ap- ryause of the audience. none attracted more favorable comment than those wonderfully talented little actresses, Misses Hattie Peters and Vashti King. In their song, "Pickaninnies, they were simply immense. and their singing, reciting and dancing would have done credit to professionals. The duet by Miss Dye and MT. Nc Neill, entitled Who's to. Blame" was a charming number.
