Opera House, Philadelphia, September II
Carolina" brings before the play going

of romantic elements and surroundings as
any that ever marked the Wild West in the
days of the frontiersmen and the pioneer.

Carolina Mountains, and is play for the
masses, tale for all tastes, delightful
and well balanced combination of tears and
laughter. Manager Louis Miller has pro

At the Auditorium theatre, Burlingto n,
on Friday, September IA, every composer
and musician has a hobby of some sort or
another and altho Herman Perlet, the
brilliant author of both book and lyrics of
Those Primrose Girls, is a man of ex-
ceptioal talent and almost in class of his
own as composer, he is not without his
hobby. His is the shape of string quar-
tet. He calls it 1.-THE Perlet String Quar-
tet and has incorporated it as a prominent
feature of his entertainment. The Quar-
tet" consists of four very attractive young
ladies who have been educated at different
European and American conservatories
and are perfect mistresses of their instru-
ments.
Miss Charlotte Baldwin heads the list
with the viola. She understands the vic.
lin thoroughly as well and is a pianist of
no mean ability. Miss Lillian Bender is
the violinist and is gifted artist devoted
to the study of her instrument Miss
Rita Upper Perkins plays the sweet toned
cello and is fair TO look upon as well as a
gifted musician. Last but by no means
least of this talented quartet is Miss Alice
Earle who can make the harp almost talk.
She is hardly taller than her smallest
string but when she touches the instru-
ment it responds like loving child and
utters music that thrills every fiber of the
music lovers being.
