ARTISTS PLEASE
LARGE AUDIENCE

The trio of artists who entertained
Tuesday night at the M. E. church
were greeted with q large audience,
and the Red Cross fund, which re-
ceived half the proceeds, is $40 to the
good rs . result.
What made the entertainment es-
pecially fine was the presence Of Miss
Edwyl Redding as pianist. Miss Red
ding, altho Montrose girl, has taught
at the C. S. N. S. two summers and
her pleasing personality is coupled
with most unusual musical talent.
The singer, Mrs. Pearl Headford
Williams, has q fine soprano voice,
coupled with rich coatralto quality
that makes q rare combination. The
selections were difficult and given
with taste and finish.
However, it was to tho charming
violinist, Miss Bertha Kribben, that q
little more than her third of the ap-
plause went. The violin in the hands
of true artist, appeals as no other
instrument, and Miss Kribben was
finished musician. Encores were
literally sprinkled thru the program.
The second concert given by the
young ladies was also success, for
over hundred gathered to hear them,
and the pipe organ fund of the M. E.
church was enriched over SO from
their share Of the proceeds.
