The Little Folks Did Well

The entertainment given by the litland Ixague at the C'lmrch of Chrlst last Friday evening was very good Aaide from Mrs. Emma A. Tliomas, of Detroit, who read au essay entltled "Music as an aid to School Government," and the talk of Miss Lucy K. Cole, all of the participants were little folks. The rendition of Reinecke's Sonoliaa Op. 136, by Miss Alta Beal, was excellent, as was also the" ilute solo by Harry Moore. iThe talk of Miss Cole ! about the method of teaching music In the public schools was very enjoyable, -especially by the parent-s having children in school, and the prompt i-esponses iof the children showed tliat i tliey Jiad learned 'their lessons thoroughly. We doubt if many of those present had a rlght conception of lïow the little ones were belng taught this desirable art. Four little trots, Margnret Adams, Eeselt Jones. Amanda Stein and Keta Staebler came out upon the stage each with a dolly and sang in concert very 6weetly. Then little Elsa Clement, whose liead will caxcely reach to the arm of a chair, appeared and in company wlth Bradley Granger, sang like a little bird ehirping to its niate. These two were not greatly abashed, or troubled with stage fright, but bravcly sang thvougli to the end without a break. Master Gerald Brown, the lamoue boy soloist of St. Andrew's boy choir, sang two selections. One an Easter Carol by Damrosch, the other a brief little song entitled "Every Night." Master Gerald is always a master of the situation musically, and this was no exception. The closing scène represented Mother Madge and her Numerous Family. The role of Mother Madge was admirably iaken by Margery "Wheeler, who through all the antics and monkeysnines of her multidinous family maintained an expression oï countenance in perfect keeping with her part. The attempts to make her laugh were fruitless. The little ones each acted well their part and had a right to feel proud of fhe same. The next league entertainment will be given by S. P. Orth, who accompanied the Greeley Arctic oxpedition a few years ago, and who will Illustrate what he saw in that frozen up región, witli stereopticon views.
