their time and volunteered to aid in making
the day brighter to us, departed feeling
satisfied that they had accomplished the
task to their entire satisfaction and that of
their audience-that is, if the uproarious
applause which greeted their every effort
counts for anything. Then again, it
should be source of satisfaction to Miss
katherine B. Hensler, manager of the
Twin City Lyceum Bureau, and Mr..
Frank E. Priest, manager of the Shubert
theater, St. Paul, Minn., the two moving
spirits in the presentation of the program,
to know that despite the many handicaps
their people succeeded in putting things
over without hitch or marring feature.
Bear in mind that the audience which
these good people faced upon this occasion
is not an ordinary one. 4 mong them you
could fiud quite number whose experience
range from the palmy days of Tony Pastor
down to Keith Proctor Orpheum produc-
tions of the present day, and yet | chal

or more genuine merriment ever greeted a
set of players.

in running'a money factory in opposition
to Uncle Sam. The familiar trick of ex-
tracing an unlimited number of eggs
from an apparently empty bag was one of
Mr.. Ways offerings which caught on big
with the colored part of the audience; his
card tricks were neat, cleanly done and
quite novel, and add to this that the gen.
leman possesses line of chatter and patter
which kept the audience roaring with
laughter.

gram. This young man showed himself
to possess splendid technique. He first
rendered the sextette from 'Lucia
different concerted voices being clearly
brought out and as he played without ac-
compartment, his interpolated pizicatto
notes were distinct. At the finale he intro
duced excerpts from the ",Tales of Hof-
man. He was deahy applauded and gave

Miss Marvel Meuth, a vocalist of rare
voice and enhancing presence, next ap-
peared, rendering a beautiful ballad, the
title of which, unfortunately, we did not
quite catch when announced by the lively
young man who directed the Stage. How
ever, this is not of great moment; the
lady in question posses such clear diction
that it was easy to understand that some
way or other "You Made Me Love You.
From the moment she uttered the first note
to the close of the song she held the audi

her out again, when she rendered "Peg o

Earl Pathwell, whose path to the stage
was we'll and earl(y) announced by the
usual slap bang chords on the piano, next
entertained us with string of the latest
rag songs. Some rag singer, this young
Earl, as the noisy applause which greeted
him testified.
