A treat was given the large and
fashionable audience which gather
ed in the First Christian chMrch
Thursday evening to welcome the
Bostonian Sextette and Miss Melva
Clemaire, the talented prima dona
soprano. The six artists, who com
pose the sextette are musicians of a
high order and each soon proved
that he was master of the instrument
to which he was assigned.
It was somewhat of disappoint-
ment to some that MIR. Stats the
well known clarinetist, who was with
the company last season did not APP
pear on the program, but HIS subsi-
tute was equal to the difficult music
rendered and produced n quality OF
tone which probably could not be
surpassed by even the senior clari-
netist. There was one other change
In the members of the organization.
Sam Driscol, the talented violinist
Of Portland appeared as violin
secundo.
He is a brother of the well-kown
cornetist. Ben Driscol, who filled first
chair in the band at the state fair
this year.
Melva Clemaire possesses a rare
voice which captivated her audience,
