St. Andrew's Choir Concert And Theatricals

This entertainment was given in Harris Hall on Saturday evening. The first part of the program consisted of work done principally by the choir, the choruses being well rendered and showing very careful training, especially in the clear pronunciation of the words. The solos by Mr. C. W. Mellor and Master Gerald Brown were enthusiastically received and each responded to an encoré. Miss Belle Maxon, (U. of M. '94, gradúate in Elocution), recited "The Legend of the Organ Builder" in an artistic manner and drew forth great applause. Miss Maxon has a clear and sympathetic voice, and with her deep breathing enunciation kept her audience in breathless attention: her future successful career is already well marked. The piano-forte duet by Mr. Bacon and Mr. Steventon was well received and an encoré demanded. The theatrical farce "The Little Sentinel" formed the second part of the program, during which the audience was kept in roars of laughter. The parts were well filled. The fascinating widow of the farm, by Miss Belle Maxon, and her young fnend, "The Little Sentinel," by Miss Zena Thompson, who certainly proved "the highly entertaining companion" required. Of the male parts, Captain Courtington (of the Dragoons), by Mr. J. Austin Bucknall, was very good, as was also his costume. That of Sim - the young farmer - originally written for the renowned Toole of London, was excellently filled by Mr. Karl Harriman, and lastly that of Mr. Wheedleton Coaxer, (the retired London merchant of dudish ideas) by Mr. A. S. Houghton who was also stage manager, as well as trainer of the vocal numbers, and who is deserving of great praise for the success of the evening.
