STAMINA CUMMING.
And Bostonia Sextette Club Gave ,
Splendid Performance at the
Grand Opera House.

If Professor Heritage never doe:
anything else. the real lovers OF
music in Salem will always keep him
in tender memory for bringing Shar.
ma Cumming here.
Shanan Cumming Is great. Her
voice is clear, strong and beautiful.
Combined with the Sextette Club, her
appearance forms musical attrac
tion that Is superior to anything that
has been heard In this city this sea-
son.
Nearly all the people who really
care for music for its own sake, and
because It is good and beautiful were
out last evening. Many other Salem
ipeople would have attended had
they known what was in store for
them. II was given out that Shanna
Cumming is perhaps the greatest so
prano singer of church music I'm
America, and many OF the Salem
elite, knowing that religious affairs
are not fashionable and recherche,
got II into their heads that the Shan
ma Cumming concert would not be
as bon ton as Hoyle would recon-
mend, and they stayed at home
waiting, perhaps, for the Georgia
minstrels.
The original program, not counting
the encores, follows. Does it read
