The much-talked-of and oft-postponed
old folks' concert under the di
rection of Mr. and Mrs. A. 13. Kynon.
assisted by the members of their re
spective Sunday school classes was
presented nt the Plymouth ConBicga
tlonal church Inst evenlne to a large
and well pleased audience. The parti
cipants were attired In some of tho
most outlandish costumes possible, and
the songs and choruses, were one ex
ception, were selections of by-gone
days, although they never fall to
pleabc the most critical listener. The
one exception was an up-to-date rag
time ditty about "Ginger Lou," a de
scendant from the Zulus.
The opening chorus, "Tho Star
Spangled Banner," was rendered by
the entire company and Kdwnrd Da
vis, the tlme-beater, announced the
different numbers on the programme
with appioprlate Introductions. The
first was a banjo solo by Znchary Da
vis, who appeared In black face and
this was followed by a timid maiden
who sang In a faltering voice, "Com
ing Thro the Rye." The singer was
Miss Jennie Davis, who possesses a
sweet voice. Her effort was appreci
ated. William Phillips rendered a pleasing
solo and had the assistance of the rest
of the singers In tho chorus rendition.
Miss Maybelle Parsons made a capital
speech in behalf of Woman's Rights
and was liberally applauded. The
worldly song nbout "Ginger I.ou," as
sung by Tom Stephens, caught the as
semblage, and when tho concert was
over many were hoard humming or
whistling the catchy air. He sings
well and was made up to the limit of
latter day coondom.
Miss Sadie Edwards, the contralto
singer, attired In a very becoming
Welsh costume, sang about "Grand
ma's Advice." and while the selection
was appropriate, many were disap
pointed In not having an opportunity
to hear her to better advantage. While
the Smoky Hollow band was putting
on Bauer's parade coats and helmets
the women folks sang about "Scotland's
Burning." and Miss Gertrtude Hughes
sweetly rendered the Kngllsh version
of "Meutra Given" from the Songs of
Wales.
The accompanist struck up "Marchin?
