VICINITY

pecially its organizer, Homer Henley,
have reason to congratulate themselves
on the success OF their first concert
given at the pavilion in lone on Satur-
day evening, April g. Both from a
financial and artistic standpoint, it was
all that could be desired, and the
audience are lavish in their praise of
the effort
Henley proved himself to he a skilled
leader and past master in voice culture.
as was clear from the hit made by the
choral numbers, encores being Justify
demanded.
Henley, as solo, rendered the pro-
logue to ''L' Pagiacci - which was a
severe test on his vocal talent. His
success was shown by the applause and
the demand for his return.
The "piece de resistance" OF the
venng, however, was Mckenzie Cor
don. 1t is doubtful if Caruso the
great Italian tenor, eXces the Scotch
man in rendering the aria "Vesta la
Luibba " from L'Pagliacc. We are
sure of one thing, however, and that is,
the lone audience would give the palm
to Gordon. The applause was thunder
GUS, and he responded with that beauti
full French piece, "Abstinat ion, - in
which, if possible, his rich tenor ap-
peared to greater advantage. The
audience would not be denied, and
again and again had the singer to re-
spond The old falorite "Annie
Lawrie" and several Scotch and Irish
airs we're charTningly rendered. The
crowd went wild for more, but human
endurance has an ending and Mr. Cor
don had to refuse, and he went out in
halo of glory unlike the halo of his
friend DR.. McKim, for it was so large he
couldn't possibly wear it over his ear.
About IS of .Iackson's representative
people came down in a special train,
and we're unanimous in saying, We
wouldn't have missed it for anything.
Miss Geery is certainly wonderful ac-
companist
Let us have more of these concerts,
for they are not only entertaining they
are an education.
We entirely agree with Mr. Dunton,
superintendent of the Preston school of
industry, in his rational and humane
manner of treating the bows under his
charge. He seems to think that you get
at the wrong part of boys anatomy
with paddle, and that Kindness comes
nearer the spot. o yes
A kindly act is a kernel sown,
That will grow to goodly tree,
Shedding its fruit when time has flown
Down the gulf of eternity.
Mr. Gordon was a visitor at the Pres
ton school on Sunday last, as was also
Miss Geery and they must have felt
amply repaid for their kindness in treat
ing the bows to concert of one hours
duration, by the way the boys shouted
They're all right. "
