The pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs,
o. +. Schee, ia High avenue east,was
the scene of the fourth meeting for
the season of the New Era Club, and
high class entertainment was given
by Montaville Flowers, the noted
Shakespearian reader. MI. Flowers
is no stranger to an Oskaloosa audi
ence, but he never appeared to better
advantage than he did last night in
his recital and vivid Interpretation of
the lines of Hamlet. AS Mr.. Flowers
did not arrive in town until $3.50, the
program was delayed until nine
{ clock, and though it was nearing
midnight when he finished, the inter.
est never wavered, and all would ap'
parently have been willing for the
reader to have continued for another
hour. In all ways the entertainment
was one of the best of its kind ever
heard in Oskaloosa. After the read,
ing social hour was engaged in by
the large number present, and refresh
ments were served.
