Musical Entertainment

The fourth entertainment under the auspices of the Valley Ministerial Association was given in Fl Centro opera house last Monday night by the Will bur Starr Company and was well attended. Mir. Starr has an excellent baritone voice, and although he was obliged to omit the Toreador song because of a cold, he pleased the audience with many humorous songs. Miss Irene Dodds, contralto, was in excellent voice and res bonded cheerfully to many en- cores. The violin playing of Alice Livingston was notably excellent, and her rendition of "Traumerie" was so nearly hawless as to be immune from criticism. Mrs. Starr's perform ance on the piano and cello was admirable. As whole the entertainment was eminently satisfactory.
