Geils, proved to be an event of special merit, Seldom has a North Land audience enjoyed a programme so varied in its selections and so uniform in its excelâ€" ‘ence.

This stirring number, so perfectly given, was one of the most appreciated selections of the evening. ‘Fhe musicâ€"lovers ‘were delighted with Mr. Dodge‘s voecal solo, voice, selections and rendition being all of the most attractive type. The audience showed very marked approval and appreciation for the selâ€" ections so well rendered by the inâ€" strumental quartette from the Timâ€" mins Citizens‘ Band,â€"Messrs, Lloyd, Cornthwaite, Wolneo and Philips. These instrumental selections were given with talent and effect. Another South Poreupine artist to delight the ‘audience was Rev. Mr. Bain who won the heartiest appreciaâ€" tion for his great gifts as a violinist. Rev, Mr. Bain showed himself to be a violinist of very marked ability, with a sure and sympathetic touch, He put soul into his playing, and his talâ€" ented selections were most enthusiasâ€" tically applauded as they merited. ‘Kiwanis Ladies‘ Night Was | Enjoyed By Over a Hundred On tius, her initial appearance beâ€" fore a Timming theatre audience, Mrs, Bowles, of South Poreupine, made a decided hit, each of her wellâ€"rendered selections being enthusiastically enâ€" ecored,.

The male quartetteâ€"Messrs Geils, Cowan, Dodge and Heffernan,â€"â€" rendered several gselections in very effective way and won hearty approvâ€" al. Rev. J, D. Parks madeâ€" an ideal chairman for the occasion! In his inâ€" troductory address he said some very apt words about the excellent spirit of this Camp where there is such a fine tendency to work together for good ends, irrespective of creeds or race. His bright comments during the evening also added to the success of the programme. His humorous story, given so effectively in braid Seots was also another delight for the audience. Large Audience Greatly Appreciated Remarkably Good Programme CONCERT TUESOAY MIGHTâ€" A VERY DECIOED suCcEs$ There were over a hundred at Ladies‘ Night given on Tuesday evenâ€" ing at the Empire" Hotel under the anspices of the Kiwanis Club. The event took the form of a dinner dance and proved a most enjoyable affair. Those present included Kiwanis Club merjbers, Kiwanees, and their friends. The menu was a most pleasing one, and the service was the very best. Indeed, everything about the evening proved enjoyable throughout. For the dancin@:there was good music by the Ramblers‘ Orchestra and the dancing was enjoyed by all.

Little Miss Helen Chisholm gave a charming example of very clever skirt dancing. The comment by the chairman at the close of this pleasmo' number was very apt. "It would make us almost believe the stories about the fairies and their wonderful dances,"‘ he said. Misses Margaret Easton and Helen Chisholm brought down the house with their finished rendition of the Irish Jig. The clever work in this danecing numâ€" ber fully warranted the enthusiastic applause given the clever little artists.
