BELFAST
= Woman's Alliance

The first meeting OF the Woman's
Alliance, the largest Women'S cluD
in the city, was musicale given IN
the North church parlors with Stan
ley Cayting. the talented young
yiolinist of Bangor, assisted by lie
Roi Green of Belfast, cornetlst and
Mrs. Harold II. Hollingshead and
Mrs. Melvin o. Dickcy, in a vocal
duet.
There was a large gathering of
members and guests, all women OF
the First Church Federated of Bel
fast, now being eligible to attend, ana
the afternoon was a delightful one.
Mrs. James c. Durham, president of
the Alliance made a little address of
welcome, cordially greeting the mem
bers and guests and called attention
to the years programs which were
distributed. Mrs. S. S. l.. Shute be-
in chairman of the program commit
tee.
Mr.. Cayting made his first appear
ance in Belfast on this occasion, al
though he has been heard in concerts
at the Country Club and always with
great pleasure. He has a charm of
manner which captivatos his aud
fence at once and his boyish intro
auctions and little sidclights on his
selections are delightful, instantly
winning the confidence and admira-
ton of all. He plays with wonderful
expression and finish and every num-
Der on his program was delightful.
The young artist studied for some
years with Karl Rissland of the Bos-
ton Symphony and also with Walter
Habernicht. He later played in the
Boston Symphony when DR.. Muck
was the conductor, and for two sea-
sons was with the Cleveland Sym
phony orchestra. He opened studio
in Bangor a few months ago where
he is now located.
Mr.. Green's cornet solos were very
much enjoyed and he received en-
thusiastic applause. He has been for
some time a member of the Colonial
Theatre orchestra and is in great de-
mand for local concerts, and he is
always heard with great pleasure.
The vocal duet by Mrs. Hollings-
head and Mrs. Dickey gave great
pleasure, especially as this was the
first appearance before the Alliance
of Mrs. Hollinshead since her mar
riage. She was formerly Miss Ka-
Uterine Chase Quimby.
