Theatricals at St. Mary's Dramatic and Musical Entertainment Given Last Night for the Benefit of St. Vin- cent de Paul Pleased. Peyton was the Director A clever dramatic sketch, preceded by a well-chosen musical program, tended to make the entertainment for the benefit of the St. Vincent de Paul Society Thursday evening, at St. Mary's hall, extremely enjoyable. The opening of ihe program was vested in Mr. Orlando G. Flynn, baritone, who interpreted a number of songs in a satisfactory and altogether pleasing manner. Mrs. Edward O'Connell, soprano, sang a group of songs by American composers, displaying a voice of admirable quality, handled very effectively. Miss May Julia Riley, one of Bush Temple conservatory, set forth "The Man in the Shadow," by Washburn Childs. She showed great ability as a reader of dramatic composition, and, was equally effective in a selection of lighter nature. Tosti's "Good-bye" received an enviable interpretation from Ella Ring Ingraham, a soprano well known in this city, whose painstaking and artistic work merit much comment. Her voice is of excellent quality, and is handled ed with the utmost skill. Mrs. Ingraham responded to de- applause with a number of lighter songs. Anna Ring-Clauson a pianist who is well known for her ex- tant solo work appeared to advantage on this occasion as an accom- panist, demonstrating the fact that a skillful soloist need not be without ability in supplying sympathetic ac- companiments to others. Miss Cornish played excellent accompaniments for Mrs. O'Connell. Clever Comedy "The Hand-Painted Vases" was the title of a clever one-act comedy sketch which served to display the dramatic talent of members of the parish. In this Mrs. F. V. Sammons was extremely clever in impersonating the role of Mrs. Butler. Mrs. J. P. O'Connor was excellent as Anne Fisher. Miss Dorothy Purcell set forth a sincere; conception of the part of Dorothy, Mrs. Butler's sister. Mrs. R.H. McColl appeared to advantage as Mrs. Blake, and Mrs. W. J. McDonnough was especially good as Mrs. Frazer. An extremely clever piece of inter- pretation was set forth by Mrs. A. A. McKinley, who impersonated Katie, the Irish ,maid. The dialogue work was excellent, and the humor furnished by this character was of an unusual order. Tbe "star" piece of the char- acterization was achieved by Mrs. T. V. Purcell, as Aunt Marietta, the sweet-tempered, innocent old lady, who attempted to show her love by pre- senting her friend* with "impossible" hand-painted china, but who won all by her charming and unaffected manner. The production was under the' direc- tion of Charles B. Peyton of the Evanston theater. ************************************* What People are Doing in Winnetka Mrs. A. G.

The College theater, the home of Chicago's only stock company, is meeting with unbounded success with this week's offering, "Pierre of the Plains." This vivid western roman- tic drama has many intense incidents that appeal strongly. It is a repeti- tion of well-developed suspensive cli- maxes, s . i Beginning Monday evening, Thanks? giving week, the production will be George M. Cohan's hilarious musical melodrama, "Fifty Miles from Bos- ton." This famous musical success, so odd and novel, is an innovation in dramatics. When recently produced here it played to capacity houses. Not only being an excellent musical offer- ing; iffijfcfij0W. dramatic story. Filled with strifes and encounters between the good man and the villain, it unfolds many interesting and fas- cinating scenes. The comedy enacted Is rich and original. As a musical play it is superior to any of Cohan's successes. In fact, George Cohan, when asked which of his plays he pre- ferred, answered "Fifty Miles from Boston." He stated that it contained two elements of which his other plays have but one, and they are the mu- sical and the dramatic. That is, as well as being a good musical play ft is a dramatic comedy Of real merit. The story is more humorous than Get Rich Quifck Wallingford" and the music is more catchy than "The Red Widow." The regular Gleason company wilt be supported by « special New Â¥ork -mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm^mmmm beauty chorus. The original scenic effects have been, secured from Mir. Cohan.
