A Fine Concert.

The Montieth- -Cogswell concert at
the Armory last Thursday evening
proved quite treat to the well
filled house present. Mr.. Montieth
is baritone singer of great ability
and his numbers were most hearth
ly applauded. Prof. Cogswell's
execution of Leschetitzky's Lucia
with his left hand was a wonderful
piece of art. Mrs. S. M. Curtiss, as
accompanist, was all that could be
desired, and did much toward
making the evening success.
The duet by Miss Sadie Stockton.
and Mr.. Cogswell, was difficult
selection and well rendered.

benefit of the Y, M, G. A. and they

EAST LYNNE.
Curtiss Dramatic Class al
ArmOry, Aug. 9th.

Wi StSo ~ Ot0SS 0S
Armory, Aug. 9Th.
One Of the largest audiences ever
inside the big Armory will no
doubt be present next Monday
night at the performance Of the
evergreen emotional drama EAST
Lynne" Other plays are written
and produced from time to time
with more or less success but the
great play of EAST Lynne goes
on in the even tenor of it's way,
always drawing full houses de-
spite the fact that it has received
nearly double the number of pre-
sentations of any other drama
ever written. Lovers of high class
drama see it over and over and
each time they witness it they
laugh at Cornelia and Dill, cry
with Isabelle and Archibald and
hate Levison, only to wait for an
other opportunity to do the same
thing again. Thus the play has ac-
quired its greatness because it is
SD WOuutFIul Ill COubbTuCuiOu tudb
the audience lives through the five
acts completely in touch with the
joys and sorrows of the actors who
depict the joys and sorrows Of its
finely drawn characters.
Patrons of the Curtiss Dramatic
Glass will be glad to note that Miss
Mona Jean Nickel will be seen as
Lady Isabelle and Madam Vine,
a part that suits that gifted lady'f
emotional talent to nicety. Ad.
ditional interest will be evinced by
the fact that Grangeville's favoritt
emotional actor, Mr.. Len Mitchell
will be seen as Archibald Carlyle
Mr.. Mitchell's ability is too wei
known to need press praise ant
the fact he is to appear in 40 pro-
minent part should in itself pacl
the house. The balance of tn,
big cast are adequate and an ex
ceedingly clever performance ma.
be looked for. Seats are now OF
