TO UNDERSTAND IT
Progressive Show at Spring
brook Should Be Seen By
All Local Residents.

slron now IN fun swing at Spring
brook park.
No one seems 10 offer even
plausible solution. The mystery is
why an exposition OF this class and
character should be so poorly at
tended. With An opportunitV 70 hear
singers in a class with Mas Sarden
and John Mccormack no one APP
pears 10 have a remote idea OF why
the exposition IS so poorly attended.
True. the weather has been oppress-
ively warm. but the exposition audi
forum has not been uncomfortably
so. No one is willing 70 admit that
out citizens have lost their taste for
high class music So. the word on
most everyone's lips last night was
where is everyone that should be
here. Those who attended last
nights entertainments and leisurely
strolled among the exhibit booths
were delighted. and marveled that
a show q this magnitude was in our
midst
Entertainment features were the
same as the previous, and opening
night with the exception that tho ar
lists varied their repertoire.
Sings The Rosary
For her opening number. Miss In
gram sang "Habanera from Car
men" Her next song was There is
No Death" This inspiring selection
was a favorite with concert artists
during the late war and Miss Ingram
rendered in i'm a manner that deeply
touched her small but appreciative
audience. she generously responded
10 anQher encore, singing an Indian
love song entitled by the Waters OF
Minnetanka-" In this song her rich
contralto voice showed her wonder
ful rangs and excellent tone quail
ties.
J. Cameron Mclean followed Miss
Ingram, using as his opening num-
Der that sweetly plainuve and love
by-everyone song, THE Rosary" 1t
IS doubtful IL a South Bend audience
ever heard this song rendered with
the feeling and beauty that Mr.. Nc
Lean put into this selection. This
Scotch baritone is "a conscientious
worker and his singing reflected the
statement he made relative to the
small audience:
II / only sang TO an audience of
three persons, I am mindful Of the
fact that one OF the three knows and
appreciates good work"
His encore selection was BLOW.
Ye March Winds" This latter song
took first prize at the san Francisco I
as the best American
song.
The Frazier Newberry band alter
mating with the other artists. played
throughout the evening a pleasing
program of popular airs.
Displays Win Merit.
The Bouncing Baldwins opened the
acrobatic features act, followed by
the Cairo Sisters and company, in a
light wire act. This act alone would
feature in any high class circus. a

Of steel is a feat not accomplished 10y

Lady Lavera concluded the even
ing's thrills by ascending "A hundred
foot pole and doing a number Of
acrobatic feats with the same skill
and grace and with as much disre-
gard Of fear as though she were with
