MASONIC MUSICALE
A Delightful and Artistic Entertain
ment Appreciated by a Large
Audience

The Masons of Carson City extend
ed to the Legislature one of the pref
Iiest courtesies they have received
during this session at the Opera
House. The enterta nment was mu-
sicale, and the best talent in the State
was procured for the evening.
The Opera House was filled by the
members of the Legislative bodies,
and the other friends whom the Ma

over a century of the past. The vio-
lin and flute were of equal worth, not
a harsh, rough or scratchy note was
emitted the entire evening. The
character of their work was best
shown in the way they played to-
getber. 1t is easy enough to play
when there is but one, to make three
as one discovers the superiority of
their playing. The success of the
first number by the trio was followed
up consistently the entire evening in
their own numbers. and in the pleasing
accompaniment they rendered Mrs
Rauch.
Mrs. Rauch is a splendidly trained
singer. This manifested itself ovel
and over again through the evening
as she gave songs upon the program
and graciously responded to the de
