The Orviston grammar grade, un-
der the direction of Mrs. Roger B.

excellent and the dialogues interest-

quitted themselves very creditably.
The affair was for the benefit of the
Junior Red Cross society. Following
is th eprogram:
The Maude Stevens Concert com-
pany, from the Antrim entertainment
bureau, entertained the people of Or-
viston Monday evening. It was good,
indeed. The three ladies comprising
the company are certainly artistic.
Miss Maude Stevens, as a child imper-
sonater, is hard to beat. Miss Char-
lotte Chamberlain, pianist and bird
warbler, was splendid, as was Miss
Edith Walsh, violinist, whose playing
was a revelation to Orviston. I may
say; even Orviston, where we have |
music of all sorts from Jew’s harps |
and roller organs to pianos, all over
town. There is no dearth of music or
musicians here. So we know how to
appreciate talent.
