The Sweet Air Lyceum.-In a multitude
nous presence the Sweet Air Lyceum passed
out of existence for a season last Saturday
night, after giving one of the most elaborate
entertainments in its history. The crowd that
assembled within the hall was concededly the
largest of the season and 1t is hard to imagine
how any greater number could have forced an
entrance. AS it was, at least one-half of the
audience were obliged to stand and it seemed
from the stage as though they were built up in
pyramid fashion to the ceiling. Even the
transom was filled. 1t was fitting climax to
one of the most successful and popular series
of meetings ever given by country lyceum.
Two Quartets were in attendance and the
music given by them was of high order.
especially that of the McComas Brothers, OF
Belair. The other is known as the Manor
Quartet. The McComas Quartet was repeated
ly encored and its singing was probably better
appreciated than any other part of the program
A number of tableaux and pantomimes were
given, revealing both the sublime and the
ridiculous. Two scenes were particularly
amusing-the one "Woman's Rights" and the
sequel, "a Neglected Home" The poor man
in the neglected home seemed to be harnessed
to almost everything in the kitchen, and while
he scrubbed he rocked the cradle with his foot
but that didn't quell the yelling babe within.
1.-THE Reveries of a Bachelor were also anus
ing. This revealed young man laying back
in an easy chair. gazing stolidly at a screen
behind which passed nurse, student,
summer girl, housemaid and bride. When
the bride appeared the bachelor aroused from
his lethargy and the next scene revealed him
in the role of bridegroom.
decided" and Undecided were the next
scenes and at the conclusion of the exercises
two little tots, dressed in their night clothes,
with lighted candles in hand, gave the silent
but appropriate message ''Good Night"
Mr.. John Mays Little. of the Towson bar,
Bessie NJ Foard and Mary Smith also gave
pleasing Rotations. Solos were sung by Miss
Nellie Storms, Miss Estella Wright and Mr.
William j. Davis. Mr.. Edward ]. o. Donovan
read an original poem.
The "Searchlight'' was not read, but in its
stead Last Will and Testament was pre-
pared and read by Mr.. Elmer R. Halle presi-
dent of the lyceum, which seemed to furnish
amusement for everybody.
