A POPULAR PROGRAM
Instrumental and Vocal Selections

The first public entertainment at
the Opera House since the change in
its interior was staged Monday night
by the Sank Centre and when that
excellent organization gave one OF its
concerts. 1t seemed to be the gener-
al opinion that the new interior ar
rangement of the house is an inl-
prOvement of that before i'm vogue.
The removal of the sloping floor gives
additianal room and i'm no way inter-
feres with the view of the stage and
its occupants.
The class of music offered for the
public's entertainment Monday eye-
ming was of popular nature, but
was nevertheless highly enjoyable.
DIR. Harold L. Lamb again demon
strated his ability as leader. while
the baud as whole showed the mus
ical caliber of the men composing it.
The band always gives good account
of itself and is steadily improving.
1t compares favorably with similar
0rgani ations in much larger towns.
The full band rendered seven Sc
lections and responded to several en-
cores. The high school male quartet
sang "The Rosary eyincing much
improvement. This quartet is al
ways popular with a Sank Centre
audience.
A male chorus OF eleven voices led
by Al. Fish sang "Honieward Bound.
This chorus Gid itself much credit,
especially in view of the fact that this
was its first appearance and that but
one full practice was held, 1t is to
he hoped that it will continue to sing
for the Sank Centre music loving
ublic. The personnel of the chorus
was as follows: first tenors, X. A.
Norsen, Prof. Thomas. Clarice Scott:
second tenors, DR.. FL. +. Hennemann.
Clarence Scott; first BASES, Fay Scott,
Fay Cooper, DIR. Harold L. Lamb:
second basses, Sydney r. Mann, A. i.
Strebel, ). A. SchoenLoff.
An innovation was the appearance
of Mr.. G. Wallen Of Glenwood, a
whistler. Mr.. Wallen also recites,
his speciality being selections in the
Scandinavian dialect. lis dialect
convulsed the audience. Mr.. Wallen
as whistler is among the best of
them. In fact, few artists in that
particular line excel him. The feat
ure was very acceptable one.
Tile closing number on the program
was entitled "Home, Sweet Home the
World Over" The band played the
well known melody as far as the Choir
us, and then TOOK up the airs of diff
ferent nation. AS each air was
played a small lassie dressed i'm white
appeared carrying the flag of that par
ticular nation and stood at the front
of the stage and waved the emblem.
The following are the names of the
little girls all from the primary de-
partment of the public schools and
the nations they represented: Ger
many, Elizabeth Irish; Spain, Sadie
Ackerman; Russia, Helen Brecount:
Italy, Leone Cioethel; Scotland, Ruth
Nelson; Hungary, Minnie Meyer;
China, Janet Dahlem; Ireland, Marie
Pangburn: America, Evelyn Kusba.
As a finale the girls waved their flags
in unison an the band played the
chorus of sHome, Sweet Home" 1t
was a very pretty conceit. To Mi ses
Payden and Abel c edit is due for
training the little girls
The audience was of fair size,
though affected by the Lenten season.
The receipts were over $4,000.
