Friday evening and were greeted by a
house Of 415 people. The hall has
sesting room for 700 and we want to
say to the 2S5 who remained at home.
they missed rare musical treat and
hooking at it from a public-spirited
Standpoint, they also failed to do their
duty toward the town in not getting
out assisting by their attendance the
local |. o. o. F. to meet the expenses
of the visitors we have this week.
This is no way to build up town, get
out and especially when you get more
than your moneys worth in high-class
Entertainment.
Rep. Parsons made short address
previous to the beginning of the pro-
gram in which he spoke in glowing
terms of the /. O. 0. f. and referred
to the thrift of the local lodge in
undertaking to carry out the building
of their fine new home. He also dwelt
upon the spirit Of progress which typi-
fes western people and those of
Grangeville and Idaho county in par
ticular.
Perhaps the best two OH the program
were Earl J. Pfouts, the violinist, and
Edwin NJ. Shonert, the pianoist.
The concert opened with an arrange
ment on the piano by List, rendered
by Shonert in a mastery manner. He
at once won the audience by his beau
tiful and effective playing. He very
kindly responded to vociferous encores
during the evening and convinced all
Judges of music of his superior ability
and that he is an artist in every sense
of the term.
Mrs. Bebee, the soprano soloist, has
beautiful voice, a dramatic soprano,
and received liberal encores. Her
Singing was superb and charming and
there were many present who are in
cllned to give credit to Mrs. Bebee as
the best on the program.
Earl }. Pfouts, the violinist, is GER
talnly young artist of talent and
plays with a power and grace that wins
hls way to the hearts of his auditors at
once He played with a perfect COM
mand OF the instrument. His tone
was very broad, firm and sweet and
nls soul stirring notes enraptured the
audience.
Forrest Dabney Carr, the basso
cantante, possesses a voice of remark
able compass, powerful and under per-
9ect control. He has graceful bear
ing on the stage. His rendition of
grand opera selections was well re-
celved and for those who do not care
!or the more classic number his sing
lng Of short Irish song was thorough
" enjoyed.
The Four Artists Company is one
o. the finest if not the finest attrac-
IONS to ever visit Grangeville, the
company was far beyond the expect
Ahcy OF the audience. Every number
