HOME TALENT
MAKES HIT
Bethany Sisters Clear Over $50
on Entertainment Given
By Local People

Net proceeds of over 500 were
cleared for the Congregational church
by the entertainment given at the gym
nasium Tuesday evening by the Home
Entertainers" 1t was through the
efforts OF one section of the Bethany
Sisters that this organization was per-
fected and the result was one of the
best. if not the best entertainment ever
given here entirely by local talent.
\ special orchestra was arranged
for the occasion. consisting of e. a.
Page. George and William Luell. Phil
LeVeille. NJ. j. Leinenkugel. \. NJ.
COnkln and Henry Levin. Their mu
sic was very fine and their numbers
were greatly enjoyed by the audience.
Solos by Miss Vera Manley. with Mrs.
Kleinort as accompanist. and by NJ. G.
Martin. with his daughter, Lorraine,
rs accompaniSt. were beautifully rem
dercd and enthusiastically encored.
The outstanding feature of the even
ing. however was the splendidly rem
dered readings given by Mrs Arthur
Black While the lyceum bureaus
have brought many talented elOcutiOn-
lists TO LadySmith. it is doubtful if the
equal Of Mrs Black in ability as Il
reader has ever appeared before an
audience here. Her rendition of "Thc
Raven that weird masterpiece of
poe's that is supreme test to any
reader, was a superb exhibition of pow
er of expression and held the audience
in rapt attention. The effectiveness of
the rendition was greatly enhanced by
the excellent work of Miss Bessie
Sands in the difficult accompaniment
on the piano.
