Benefit Recital for Red Cross

The firth and last OF the series Of
musical recitals given for the benefit
of the Red Cross under the direction
of Mrs. Dora T. Nye, took place at
the Library parlors last night WED
nesday) at O'Clock.
The scheme of decoration was sue
cessfully carried out with field daisies
forming delightful and appropriate
background for the twelve young yet
experienced artists, pupils of Mrs
Nye.
A pleasing and noteworthy feature
Of the evenings entertainment was
the solo, Soldier Boys Song, sung
by little Miss Lillian Hall, who is
only four years OF age, while her able
accompanies, Richard Goldsmith, is
but six years old. The minuet play
ed by Thornton Conant and danced
by the little Misses Whiting and Bis
son was another number greatly en-
joyed. Also, the duet OF a patriotic
nature by Rebecca Russakoff and
Dorothy Nye deserves mention OF
credit. A noteworthy feature of the
entertainment on whole was the
fact that nearly all the pianists play
ed without any notes, feat hard to
accomplish even after years OF train
ing.
AS was previously mentioned the
total proceeds goes to the Red Cross
and Mrs. Nye certainly deserves a vote
of thanks for the untiring efforts she
has shown In the production OF these
entertainments.
