MUSIC RECITALS
DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT AT
ST. THOMAS CHURCH
LAST EVENING.

The music lovers of Madison had
before them a choice OF recitals last
evening, either of which assured an
evening of splendid entertainment.
Alvin w. Roper appeared at the high
school auditorium in a piano effort
of great merit and the organ recital
given at st. Thomas Catholic church
by Prof. w. Hazen, assisted by SOLO
list, Miss Mabel Johnson, and Violin
list, Claude O'Donnell, is spoken of as
being by far the best ever heard by
this trio of local talent. Prof. Hazen
rendered a number of selections that
brought out the sweetest and most
seductive tone blendings. His mas
terry of the pipe organ was thorough
ly demonstrated to appreciating audi
tors.
Miss Mabel Johnson, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Johnson, has
rare ability in the voice line. Her
renditions and choice of musical
themes failed in no manner to elicit
praise from many admirers.
Claude O'Donnell favored the audi
ence with what is considered to be
his climax of effort. From the soft
ly sweet to the animated noble, the
strings responded to that impulsive
soul of harmony that ever agitates
deep natures of all masters of the
violin.
There are many people in Madison
who love those finer accomplishments
that are so inspirational and educa-
tive, and the treats given last eve
ming left many favorable impressions
relative to the artists who soothed
them with song and instrumental
numbers.

THEATER Change
JOE RYAN TAKES OVER THE
IMPERIAL THEATER BY
PURCHASE.

The Imperial theater went over to
different proprietorship yesterday.
The sale was quietly effected and to-
day the new owner, Joe Ryan, who,
for two and a half years has con-
Quoted the popular Lyric show house,
has his plans all made for continuing
the former Imperial under the name
of the Ruby theater.
Mr.. Ryan did not make the pur-
chase direct from Mulvey Bros, who
have been the sole owners of the I'M
perial for several years. Mr.. Upde-
graft, of the Princess theater, Sioux
Falls, bought out Mulvey Bros. and
in turn disposed of his interest to
Mr.. Ryan. The alluring price offered
the former management of the I'm
perial caused them not 10 hesitate,
but make the sale.
Mulvey Bros. are well known in
Madison and bear a reputation for
clean business methods. Gentlemen,
both, and maintainers of a high grade
picture show, they merit the success
accorded them through their estab-
lishment of the picture business In
our city. They will not abandon the
show business, but expect to invest
elsewhere. VIM. Mulvey is a member
of the municipal band and a book
keeper of fine ability. Though all
of their friends regret that they are
Withdrawing from Madison business
and social circles, still great future
success is wished on them wherever
their decision to locate may take
them.
