81. A. BENEFIT.

Rev. H. B. Marks of Detroit. Mich,
who Is here visiting his brother, L.
Marks. has kindly offered to give the

school
Rev Marks was on the Chautauqua
platform before he took up the pas
toria1 work He is an expert with the
mandolin and Springdale music lovers
have a great treat in store for them.
Local talent will assist the Rev MIR.
Marks Place and program will be
published later. The Merrill (Wiscon
SIM News has the following TO say of
one of his entertainments: Something
unusual in the line OF concerts was
given here last Tue sday evening, when
H. B. Marks, an expert mandolin
player. assisted by local talent, gave
very fine entertainment, unusual in the
respect that the mandolin played as it
was that evening is seldom heard The
music usually produced on the instru-
ment is of light and pretty grade. but
Mr. Marks demonstrated that classical
and high grade music can be played
with good effect. Nearly every man
dolin number was enchored and we
believe that many who in the past
have not enjoyed mandolin music were
highly in favor of it before the even
ing was over Mr. Marks spoke a few
words in favor of the mandolin, of the
large field of work opened TO the man
dolin and explained the quartet and
duo music as rendered BY him. Aside
from handling the mandolin in almost
perfect manner, Mr. Marks proved
himself very able clocutionist and
afforded much amusement as we'll as
entertainment"
The DeFunac Springs (Florida)
says:
The entertainment given by Rev.
H. B. Marks was artistic in every
sense of the term. Rev. Marks deliv-
cred an interesting sketch on mandolin
music illustrating the most difficult
quartet and the movement, thus dem
onsatrating the possibilities of this
frightfully abused instrument in the
hands of an expert. 1t was no doubt
a revelation that so much could be
done with the mandolin"
Chelroygan Daily {Michiganl says
1T was read treat to music lovers
to hear Traumerei. Cavalleria Rusti-
cana and the Flower Song and other
good productions played on mando-
lin in a manner to merit enthusiastic
applause. Such Was what happened
last night when Rev. H. 3 Marks
played before large audience"
