The concert given by Magdeleine
Brard OF Paris and Miss Marian Keeler
of Burlington in city hall in Mont |
tended by the audience that the artists |
merited, for they gave an excellent pro-
gram. II is very probable that the
promoters Of the concert suffered a |
loss of about SlC0 because of the small |
audience. Miss Brard played many
difficult numbers and those who heard |
her called her wonder. She is about /
10 years of age and has played with
the Boston Symphony orchestra. Miss
Keeler sang just as well as she did ON
her previous appearance. Nearly all of
those who heard her the first time re-
turned to listen TO her singing last
evening. Almost an hour was used by
the audience at the end of the program
in congratulations of the two youthful
artists.
j. G. Frattini this morning received
notice that no extension of time could
be granted to Italians who failed to
file the proper papers with the repre-
sentatives of the consulate here. The
failure to do this, according to Mr.. Frat
tint, means that between 1000 and $500
Italians have lost their privilege of re-
tanning their personal liberty and avoid
ing conhscation of their property if
they have any in Italy. Relative to
the personal liberty it means more per
tanning TO their ever returning to their
native country
