1dStlC Audience
The musical entertainment given
at the Opera House Monday evening
by the Sank Centre Band was sue
cess in every respect. The music was
of high order, there was a capacity
house and the financial end of the af-
fair shows net sum of about $500
in the treasury of the band.
The program was well selected and
carried out without hitch. The
band, under the leadership of Mr..
Aamot, has made much progress of
late and compares favorably with
any organization of it's kind in the
state in a city of the size of Sank
Centre. The band was down on the
program for five numbers in addition
to an accompaniment for Mr.. Steen,
who rendered cornet solo in fine
style and responded to an encore.
The headliner on the program was
Miss Alta Hilsdale, who was scheduled
for two vocal solos. Though suffering
from cold Miss Hilsdale filled her
part on the program to the delight of
the audience, who gave her an insis-
tent encore to which she graciously
responded.
Mrs. A. w. Austin sang ga Perfect
Day." a difficult contralto solo, in fine
voice. G. c. Connor played an ac-
companying trombone obbligato. The
combination delighted the ear of the
music loving public and Mrs. Austin
was given an encore to, which she re-
sponded by repeating the selection.
Mr.. Conner rendered trombone
solo in fine style and replied to an en-
core. Mr.. Connor handles the difficult
instrument in fine style.
The high school male quartet fur
nished one number, which took so
well that it was twice encored. This
organization is coming along famous
ly, improving at every appearance
it makes in public. It promises well
to Gil vacancy that has long existed
in Sank Centre musical circles, and
with little more experience will be
equal to any emergency.
Henry Mann, Leo Hedin and Frank
Robischon furnished the comedy for
the evening. Mr.. Mann sang song
entitled "Yiddisha Love" in a man
ner that brought down the house.
Messrs. Hedin and Robischon's
''turn" was song and dance COM
bination entitled Mysterious Rag"
and the title did not belle the act.
1t afforded both gentlemen an oppor-
tunity to sing well and Mr.. Hedin
chance to exhibit his well known
terpsichorean abilities.
Sydney Mann accompanied the SOLO
lists on the program, handling the
piano in a manner above criticism.
A pleasing feature of the evening
was the presentation of magnificent
bouquets of roses to the two lady So
loists. The beautiful flowers were
from the band with their compliments,
Frank Robischon making the presen-
tation to Mrs. Austin and DR.. Lamb
to Miss Hilsdale.
The only thing that marred the
evening was the presence of quintet
OF small boys on the front row who
made so much noise whispering, talk
ing out loud and scuffiing as to inter-
fere materially with the enjoyment of
people in the six front rows. Parents
should either keep their rude young
sters at home or accompany them and
see that they behave. The band was
in no manner responsible for the out
break of these incorrigibles.
