in Newport, who will be glad to hear
him again.
The piano solos by Thelma Young
and Roland Rogers were we'll render
ed and received applause. The reci-
tations by little Marieand Lois Young
were worthy of special praise as the
selections were lengthy for such lit
tie folks, but were given without a
slip, as also were the encores.
The young ladies quartet deserved
special praise and was one of the
sweetest numbers on the program and
received hearty applause and encore
The male quartet was star attrac-

plause after applause, even after the
