GREAT MUSICAL TREAT
Promenade Concert Nets Nearly One
Hundred Dollars for Dallas
Free Library.

The concert given for the benefit OF
the Dallas Free Library last Thurs
day evening was the most enjoyable
musical entertainments it has ever
been the privilege Of the people OF this
city to attend. Ernest Gamble and
his capable company visited Dallas
last month and gave program of ex-
ceptional merit, but that entertainment
will not bear comparison with the con-
cert given by Mr.. LownsdaIe and Miss
Shea.
Millard O. Lownsdale has long been
Oregon's favorite vocalist, and, after
hearing him, ones does not wonder
that he enjoys this distinction. He is
without peer on the Pacific Coast,
and his wonderful singing, once
heard, is never forgotten. Mr.. Lowns-
dale was in excellent voice, and his
selections were all Of high order of
excellence. He was accorded a most
enthusiastic reception, and generously
responded to every encore. No pen
can do justice to his singing, and we
can only say that those who failed to
hear him missed one OF the great
treats Of their lives.
Miss Ethel Shea, one of Portland 8
sweetest singers, achieved a triumph
and was encored many times. She
has a rich contralto voice, sings with
much expression, and has a charming
stage presence. Her selections covered
wide range, and all were sung so
excellently as to stamp the singer as a
true artist. Her rendition Of the old
Scotch ballad, "The Bonnie Banks o
Loeb Lomond," was keenly appre-
ciated by music lovers present
Mrs. Ed Siefarth's violin solo, "The
Holy City," was received with great
enthusiasm. She produced tone re-
markable for its sweet aud vibrant
qualities. A reading by Mrs. L.
Gerlinger, Jr., added greatly to the
pleasure of the evening.
After the program, a merry social
hour was enjoyed. The booths Of the
Lady Maccabees. the Circle, and the
gipsy fortuue-teller were we'll patron
lied, as were also the young ladies
who sold candy and popcorn. At 10
O'Clock the floor was cleared for dan
cling. The Woodman orchestra fur
nished it's best music, and about 30
couples indulged In the pleasures OF
the dance until shortly after midnight.
The receipts Of the evening were
something over 500. the greater por-
ton of which will be used 10 buyin 6
books for the Free Library. The
entertainment was thoroughly de-
lightful and we'll worthy the patronage
it received. A full report Of the money
received from lodges selling refresh
ments, cash contributions and tickets
sold will be published next week.
Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, who
planned and managed the affair, il
grateful to the people Of Dallas fol
their generous patronage, and tho
people, IN turn, are grateful to Mrs
Gerlinger for bringing such excellen'
talent to Dallas.

be further discussion OF the situation by
the members of the council. upon whom
the remarks Of the President and Mr.
