Thursday, Déc. 23rd, 1926 Greetings OSTROSSER CO. ine St., N. WE EXTEND TO YOU ALL OUR BEST WISHES FOR A REAL MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING YOU HEALTH, HAPâ€" PINESS AND PROSPERITY. Near the Post Office "of the Season THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ATTRAGCTIVE PROGRAMME AT BAND GONCERT SUNDAY Large Audience Well Pleased With Excellent Programme of Music After Church Services on Sunday The large audience at the Gold fields Theatre Sunday evening, after the church services, was well pleased with the excellent programme furâ€" nished for the last band concert to be given this year. The carol singing expected for the occasion was missed from the programme through no fault of the band. Two separate groups of carol singers had agreed to furnish this Christmas touch to the event, but one after the other they disapâ€" pointed the band in this, the second disappointment not being known unâ€" til Saturday when it was too late to secure another group for the earol singing. However, the programme as presented was an excellent one and was much appreciated by all the musicâ€"lovers present. For some in the gallery a couple of the numbers were spoiled by the rowdyism and illâ€" manners of a few unsophisticated young men and women who apparentâ€" ly had wandered into the theatre by mistake. _ Their silly noisy restlessâ€" ness disturbed the programme to some extent on a couple of oceasions durâ€" ing the evening, and it is to be hoped that good sense and good sportsmanâ€" ship will hereafter keep this class away, so that those who enjoy the good music may be free to do so withâ€" out interference. The selections by the band were very p]edslncr ones and given with skill, vim and efiectlveness. * Diay ‘olo"" was a popular band numbpr, while the march ‘‘Deeds of Daring"‘ was specially well presented. _ The waltz, ‘©Cornflowers and Poppies,"‘ was an attractive selection that was much appreciated, as was also the opening march. ‘‘Amphion.‘‘ The soloist for the evening was Mr. R. Smith, who, by special request, sang, ‘‘The Deathless Army.‘"‘ Mr. Smith‘s rich baritone voice, his symâ€" pathetic interpretation and his musiâ€" cal talent made this number an outâ€" standing one on the evening‘s proâ€" gramme. He was insistently encored and responded with another selection that found general favour. _ Bandâ€" master Wolno played the accompaniâ€" ment on the piano. Another special favourite of the evening was the talented young violiâ€" nist, Master Jack Neilson. His first selection, ‘‘Blumenlied,‘‘ was given with a talent and finish that won very decided encore. His second selection, ‘‘Humoresque,""‘ was anâ€" other fine number unusually well preâ€" sented. Mr. W. A. Devine played the piano accompaniments for these numâ€" bers. h _ tA 23. A sdsc Cornet solos by Bandsman Walter Williams also found very general favour among the musicâ€" lovers. The first number, ‘‘Will Ye No‘ Come Back Again?"‘ was a fine selection and the response to the encore (‘‘The Lost Chord‘‘) was equally pleasing. The regular night for the next band concert would be Januarly 3rd, but on account of the holiday season this will be skipped, the next conâ€" cert to be held on Jan. 17th. Further announcement will be made later. Saxophone solos by Bandsman T. Stephens, with Mr. James Ormston, accompanying on piano, were also much appreciated selections on the programme, these wellâ€"rendered numâ€" bers winning very enthusiastic enâ€" cores. ALL KIWANIS SHOULD B¢ OUT FOR MONOAY MEETING Event on Dec. 27th Will be the Last Meeting Under the Old Execuâ€" tive. â€" Special Attendance Desired The Monday luncheon of the Kiâ€"| wanis Club was taken up with generâ€" al business and a nice assortment of music, Christmas numbers being speâ€" cially featured. There was special stress placed upon the necessity for a large attendance at the meeting next Monday, Dec. 27th, as it is the last meeting to be held under the old exeâ€" cutive. _ President R. Dye will reâ€" view the work done during the year, pointing out the good accomplished and the fine things yet to do. His report will be a specially interesting and helpful one and no member of the Kiwanis Club should miss the meeting . won Monday. Even more important than startinge a new year right is the duty of closing up an old year in the best way possible. sn un % FrT 1Â¥ At the meeting on Monday of this week the Club had a streak of luck. Mr. Vincent Woodbury had threatenâ€" ed to sing at the meeting, but kind fate called him out of town. Instead of singing he wrote a letter which was not quite so bad. The letter was read at the meeting, and brought forth much laughter and applause, It will be answered when he returns to town, so as not to spoil his Christmas. In the meantime, all Kiwanis Club members should specially note the meeting on Monday of next week, Dec. 2?27th, and be there for sure. "The last time I saw you Minme, you were having trouble with a front tooth."‘" ‘Ob, that came out all right.
