A genuine treat was in store for
those who assembled at McVicar's
hall Friday evening to meet Mrs.
Karl Browns guests, Mrs. Elizabeth
Goodykoontz and Miss Myrtle Gocdy-
koontz, of Canon City, Colo, Mrs.
Jennie Laughran, of Pocatello, and
Mrs. John Beasley, of Eureka, Utah
Miss GoodykOontz is reader rank
ing with the best in the United
States and she generously gave many
, numbers to the delight of the ladies'
composing the enthusiastic audience.
Her selections covered wide range,
the bits of dialect rendered SO inimit-
ably perhaps receiving the most ap-
plause, although Kipling's "L'Envoi,'
closing her program was a delight
to all. Adding much to the pleasure
of the evening were the musical num-
bers. Mrs. M. Austin, always
favorite with Blackfoot audiences,
opened the program with two charm
ing songs, responding to a hearty
encore. Later in the evening Mrs.
Harold Parkinson gave several beauti-
full solos. This was the first op-
portunity most of the ladies had had
to meet and hear this lovely young
prima donna, who has only recently
come to Blackfoot to make her HON
from faraway Germany. From the
first silver note she had her audience
captivated and received an ovation
at the close. Seldom has such d
coterie of artists been heard in sin
gle evening in our city and the oc-
casion will long be remembered.
