PFE|FFER RECITAL
IS ENTERTAINING
Small Audience Hear Excellent Pro.
gram Of Readings and Music
at Methodist Church.

Owing to the inclement weather /;
small audience was present at tn.
Methodist church Friday evening
to hear Miss Mabel Pfeiffer, reader
and impersonator, give a most ex
cellent program Of readings.
Miss Pfeiffer came to us very
highly recommended by the Athens
School of Oratory in Athens, Ohio
and she fully lived up to the ex-
pectations of her audience. In the
humorous selections she was espec-
tally good and won hearty applause.
Her personality is most pleasing
and winsome one and those who
heard her will be glad to have the
opportunity of being entertained by
her again.
In the "Deacon's Proposal" Miss
Pfeiffer practically brought down
the house and in her Interpretation
of the part of the versatile Irishman
in Dennis Cassidy's House Moving"
she could hardly be excelled.
Miss Pfeiffer was ably assisted in
the program by the Methodist Male
Quartet, which was heartily well
coined by the audience and encored
several times. Miss Malou John
stone made her first appearance in
concert work on the pipe organ and
received hearty applause. Miss
Johnstone has made unusual prog
ress in learning to play this instru-
ment and gives promise of becom-
ing one of the leading pipe organ
lists Of the city.
The receipts at the door were not
as large as the ladies had hoped for
but still a neat sum was cleared for
their treasury and they have the sat
fsfaction of knowing that the enter
tainment was very much enjoyed by
all present and, indeed. was de-
serving of a much larger house.
