= Bishop Homer G. Stuntz, resident
bishop of South America, on Wednes-
day evening gave an interesting lee
ture on that country and its people.
He told Of the country's resources and
great areas Of land not yet in use and
predicted that the time was near when
the heaviest immigration would be to
South America, among whom would be
people of the United States. Although
the heavy storm seriously interfered
with the speaker, his fine address was
given the closest attention.
Yesterday afternoon and evening
Kryl's great band filed both pro-
grams. This is the second appearance
of this great band in Little Falls. At
tendance at one Of these performances
alone is worth the price or a season
ticket.
Kryl, who is considered the world g
greatest conetist, gave solos at both
the afternoon and night concerts, play
ing on a gold cornet, and captivated
the audiences on both occasions. He
is great cornetist.
The program was broght to a close
last night by the rendering of "The
Soldiers Dream,'' descriptive fan
tasy, occupying twenty-five minutes
and illustrated by moving pictures
shown in conjunction with the music,
the film having been made especially
tor the band. It was quite out Of the
ordinary and very impressive. Patriot
lc airs were played by the band and
patriotic scenes shown in the pictures
awakening the patriotic and enthusi-
astic feeling Of many in the audience.
It was very prettily given and proved
the feature Of the program.
The morning lectures were quite
well attended and all high class.
The Kellogg-Haines Singing PARTY in
the opening program was very pleas
ing, as were the McGrath brothers,
who brought forth worlds of music
from their banjos, and the Phillipinos
with their native and American musi-
cal selections were we'll received.
The Royal Gwent Welch Glee club.
Tuesday afternoon and evening fur
