OF CHAUTAUQUA
Western Singers Get Good
Hand on Appearing in
Great Falls.

Uredt rails.
Music hath power to make a man
enjoy himself in a hot tent on a hot
day. This was proved Sunday after
noon when the Stearns-Hellekson trio
gave their hearers an afternoon of un-
m%itigated pleasure at the Ellison-W White
chautauqua. In these young musicians
is ample proof of the assertion of Earl
Mott. c%hautauqua director. that all good
things in the way of talent do not come
from the east. Miss Helleksen is a
Minnesota girl, while Miss Stearns and
her sister are of Los Angeles. Miss
Helleksen is n pianist of real genius
and a sympathetic accompanist. Her
rendition of Cyril SCOTS Negro
Dance" was a brilliant and finished
work. As a %'cellist Miss Stearns is a
master and gives to her hearers all
that her wonderful instrument is cap
able of. Her sister is a violinist of
rare talent. The repertoire of the trio
included Dvorak's "Humoresque' and
the Sixth Hungarian Dance. Vidor's
"Serenade" was a beautiful number
beautifully played. Cello numbers were
"Tsrantelle" and MY Wild Irish
Rose" On the violin 1.-THE Spanish
Serenade' and the "PolOnaise in A Ma
jor.'

trio assisted Miss Frances Ingram.

War Showed Weakness
During the war it was discovered,
Miss Lowe said. that the American
people were not so strong or healthy
as they had thought. A campaign to
better the race physically was started
then. she asserted. and plead for its
continuance.
