A very delightful entertainment was
given last night in the college audi
torium by the Ploner family, Swiss
Sodeling serenaders. We think that
everybody enjoyed it, for there was not
dull moment in the diversified pro-
gramme. Frau Ploner is fascinating
singer and yodeler, while Herr Ploner
is expert in playing on the litter.
Franz Poner is the violinist OF the
family, and also sings acceptably. The
two daughters, Miss Anna and Miss
louise PIoner, are very pleasing sing
ers. and to this accomplishment Miss
Anna adds skill as a PLAYER Of the
guitar, while charming Miss Louise
dances well and recites very effectively
indeed. The Ploners are all right.
