ENTERTAINMENT PlEASES.
Lyeeum Quartet Appears on Enter

Before the usual large audience OF
patrons of the community entertain
ment course at the Methodist church
the Boston Opera. Singers, a quartet,
appeared Wednesday night in an en-
tertainment which. while proving
nothing unusually brilliant. provided
a program which was pleasing.
Making up the program were quar-
tet numbers. trios, duets, and solos,
together with a reading by Miss
Esther Shultz. the contraito of the or
ganzation. and a piano solo by Miss
Marion Carley, the accompanist. Miss
Carley's work proved one of the most
enjoyable contributions to the pro-
gram. and she played from memory
the most difficult Shulz -Evler para
phrase Of The Beautiful Blue
Danube" on the motive by Johann
Strauss.
The most pleasing of the quartet
numbers were the opening selection,
The Viking" and Thompson's Come
Where the lilies Bloom SO Fair. the
latter an old time quartet arrange
ment that so delighted our grand
parents. Offerings from the classics,
including a duet by Miss Louise stall
inge. soprano, and Anthony Guarino'
tenor. from "Cavalleria Rusticana;'
Miss Stallings' solo from "Mignon;
and a trio by Miss Stallinss, Mr..
Guarino. and, Percy Richards, barry
tone. Donizetti's Daughter Of the
Regiment" were among the heavier
numbers Of the program.
The best voice displayed was that
Of Miss Stallings. She has sweet
voice of good quality. which showed
much training. Mr.. Guarino, exhibited
a wide range. and with thel exception
of a nasal tendency at times his tones
were good.
A patriotic touch was given the
program as finale. when Frank j.
Smiths arrangement of The Allies
was presented by the members Of the
organization. who introduced the flags
Of Italy, England. France. and the
United States. With the presentation
