CONCERT APPRECIATED.
Given BY Spaulding Glee Club and Miss
Lavelle, Reader.

An appreciatiye audience of over 40
people listened to the concert given b
the Spaulding glee club, assisted b.
Miss Alice Lavelle, reader, at the oper
house last evening and one and all en-
joyed the varied program which brough
out evidences of the advancement whic
is being made in the music department
of the school work. The concert wa
under the direction of Miss Josephine
Hovey, the city supervisor OF music
and it reflected mucn credit upon he
instruction.
The concert gave Barre people the las
opportunity TO hear Miss Lavelle, since
she has resigned her position on th'
high school faculty to enter a school o.
dramatic art in New York City. Miss
| Lavelle has been succes stul teacher II
| Barre for three years and, in addition
to this has appeared many times in the
role OF reader, to the delight of her
audiences. Last evening the audience
gave her expression OF marked appre-
| ciation, as she contributed two numbers
to the program and was obliged to an
swer demand for an encore each time.
The glee club, chorus Of thirty-two
voices, had five numbers on the pro-
gram of fourteen and their interpreta-
tion OF Columbia Beloved" 30 Rest
in the Lord" from Elijah THE Forge"
''The Two Grenadiers" and Now the
Day Is Over was very well given
Then, the girl section of the giee club
delighted the audience with two selec-
tions, being given prolonged applause
as they presented Little Pappoose" and
Song of the Dinah Dolls In the lat
ter they made a somewhat startling en-
trance by appearing in black face and
plantation costume, heightening the ef-
feet of the part by droll march across
the stage
Not much behind was the effort of
the boys section of the glee club, when
they sang the next to the last num-
ber, including Rodneys "The Old Guard
and ".Just Smile" The club is very
strong in its male voices.
Occupying a solo part on the pro-
gram Miss Lorraine Loranger sang Louis
Gregh's Fairies Moonlight Dance very
sweetly and delighted the audience, which
would have been pleased with an encore
from the young singer, but was con-
tent with a number from the giee club
which accompanied the soloist in the
regular number.
Another Young performer on the pro-
gram was Miss Eda Carusi, a violinist
n promising ability. She gave Mascag-
mis- intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rus
tieenas and did so we'll that she was
called upon again. Like treatment was
accorded Harold Knight, also violinst,
and already one of Barre's accomplished
musicians. as he rendered Rats Cav
atinan and encore.
Silent music might be the express
sion to describe that part OF the pro- |
gram contributed by Miss Grace Barclay,
for the Scottish sword dance which she
aid so daintily was surely the acme of
rhythm. 1t was remarkably well ex-
scuted and added a great deal to the I
pleasure of one of the best amateur
given in Barre for long
.ime.
