lures last nigbt.-A
Goodly Attendance
The large majority of the seats in
! the Auditorium were occupied last
night when the curtain rose for the
! first feature of the entertainment Civ
] en- for the purpose of raising funds
| for the relief of San Francisco suf-
| ferers and local charitable purposes
4 iative audience and not a number
/ failed to elicit warm commentator
/ from the crowd.
The entertainment was most en-
I joyable and well arranged consider
/ ing that no regular and entire rehear-
sal of the program had been held
each entertainer was left to stand on
his or her own merits.
There might be only one objection
/ offered. the program was too long
for a home talent entertainment, but
the fact that so many encores were
demanded was responsible for the
great length of the entertainment.
The opening selection by Boyer's
orchestra, "All Hits" was a most de-
| lightful rendition and was vigorously
applauded.
Then came the song sketch 'Nico-
demus" by Miss Florence Goodwin
and r. J. Goodwin. Both were black
faced and their specially made a de
cided hit
The bounding ball drill by Miss
Tupper. Misses Stone, Weir and Van
Dyke was a very pretty physical cul-
ture exercise.
Jack II. Gallupe, the inimitable
comedian was greeted with strong
applause upon his appearance, His
makeup was excellent and his mono
logue was most refreshing and the
crowd was kept constantly laughing.
Little Misses Virginia Wheeler and
Margaret Hannah Bunting. daintily
dressed in white and as graceful little
ladies as ever seen on the Auditor
ium stage in many month. assist
ed Mr. Gallupe in his song sketch
In response to the many encores the
little girls performed two little skits
that were at once cute and pleasing
"The Grand Junction Trio" was de-
eidedly one OF the hits of the evening
Miss Lillian Sawyer, in "A manner
both sweet and graceful sang, In
my Merry Oldsmobile." Miss Saw
yer is always popular as a soloist and
her selection added great strength to
the program.
Would You Care" that beautiful
song, was splendidly rendered by
Mar has n strong and most pleasing
voice
Master Alfred Gallupe in his coon
songs had the audience all his way
He sang "Shame on You MIR. John
SON." and Everybody Works but
Father" No feature of the evening
caused more amusement.
Miss Emma Rainey, a handsome
and talented Indian girl, a pupil at
the Indian school. charmed the large
crowd with her solos. Because /
Love Yay" and Just for Today"
sacred selection, were beautifully rem
dered The young lady has voice
of peculiar sweetness and consider
able strength.
g. L. Payne's violin solos were ex-
qusitely played. The young man has
much ability as Il violinist.
One OF the most interesting and de
lightful numbers on the program was
the demonstration Of legerdemain or
magic by Charles A. Jaclman. The
young man presented n number of il
lusions that were most perpleXing and
would have done credit to Il profess
sional magician of many years ex-
perience. Not one of his tricks was
poor and nearly every one was en-
tirely new. Mr.. Jackman was most
Enthusiastically received.
"Im Getting Sleepy" by Bert Doc
ley and X. j. Goodwin. was a song
sketch of a most pleasing nature
Byron T.. Adams of the Indian
school delighted the audience with a
cornet solo.
Mr.. o. V. Meier was responsible
for as much wholesome laughter as
any comedian of the evening. He is a
black face artist of really brilliant
talent and his monologue was all
right. However his buck and wing
dancing pleased the crowd immensely
and he was recalled four or five times
he certainly made good and his spec
ialty was one of the best provided.
Charles Clark sang that grand old
ballad, when Think of YOU" and
happier rendition of the song could
not have been desired Mr.. Clark has
a splendid voice aud he-is one of the
best soloists in the city
The last feature of the evening was
three round sparring match be-
tween Morgan Williams. the well
known pugilist and his sparring part
ner Frank Newbury. Harry Acker-
man acted as referee and Jack Gal
lupe was time keeper. The rounds
were OF three minutes length and
the crowd was worked up to high
pitch of enthusiasm. IL was an inter
esting bout.
Taking into consideration the short
time in which the local artists had to
prepare for the entertainment Il was
one OF the most successful home tai
ent entertainments given in the city
in many months.
The receipts amounted to over one
hundred dollars and will be put in
The hands of the cause of charity.
