The musical read ings. the beautiful eostamed sketches. the clever dramatic readings. the de. liEhtful child impersonations. and the intensely human dialect readings make this one of the finest tri0s as well as one ef the most satisfying entertain ments ever offered Co the public.
 It is said of the Kenmore Girls that they never miss an engagement fl there Is any possible way to make it. Last winter in Ohio after a particu- larly vicious blizzard. they were told that trains were stalled. that there was no way e get to the next town. The wires were down. they could not notify the committee of their dilem- ma. lt didn't phase these young la dies bit. They seurried around town and borrowed snowshees; tied their costumes into a bundle, and tramped it ten miles Co their destination. Need less to say. the strange spectacle of three young ladies hiking in with a pack rather than disappoint an audi enoe, met with popular favor. and crowded house greeted them that eve ming as they went on and gave their regular performance.
