Dunbar Quartet
And Bell Ringers
Please Audience,

Music lovers of the three cities
were given a rare treat Friday eve
ming at City hall by the Dunbar Quar-
tet and Bell Ringers, and every seat
in the hall was taken.
This, last number Of the Augusta

the same high order as the other en-
tertainments, and exceeded the expec-
tations Of all.
The Bell Ringers carried out a
program which caught the public
fancy. In the first number entitled
THE Jolly Bell Ringers" the artists
introduced themselves as "Old Tom"
Young Tom," William and Me-
and the selection drew great applause.
The quartet next held the stage, and
each of their numbers was illustrated
with great dramatic action. Their
voices harmonized well and their sing
ing was a source of much pleasure.
One of their selections in particular,
THE Vanity Of Love-" made great
hit.
The Bell Ringers then gave an i'm
itation of Sunday morning in London
and the musical tone of the great
chimes of church bells were very eff
fectively rendered. The selection was
closed with number of hymns.
One of the artists proved to be
violinist of unusual merit, and his
rendering of Meditation" from the
opera "rhais" with accompaniment,
was thoroughly appreciated by all.
Another of the company was an ex-
cellent story teller. He initiated an
Englishman giving his views on life
in general in way which drew hear
ty applause from every part of the
hall
The cellist then rendered the "Ros-
airy" very effectively The closing
number. Jesus. Savior of My Soul"
by the Bell Ringers, left the audience
thrilled with the charm which exeell-
ent music produces, and filled with
| admiration for the artists.
