THE CHURCH
ENTERTAINMENT
Was One of Best Ever Given in
Tucumcari.
LARGE CR.OWD ATTENDED
The Baptist Musical and Pecitalion En
tertainment program was had at the church
last night according to announcement. Thu
rendition showed splendid preparation and
everybody who attended were pleased with
the entire performance, and pronnnced
it the very best ever produced in Tucum
cari. The guitar and mandolin selection by
Messrs. Herring. Anderson and M iss (irace
Anderson put the entire audience in a good
humor.
The Vocal Solo, "A Whispered Vov,"
by Mrs. O. A. Mason, certainly wasa treat
for she has a remarkebly sweet and a high
ly cultivated voice, and sang well. T h e
recitation, "Thora," by Miss Lizzie Troup
was well rendered and she showed m u c h
talent in the rendition of that dilHcidt piece.
The Quartette, "Nearer My Clod To
Thee," by Dr. Coulter, McCargar, Mrs.
McCargar and Miss Anderson, truly was a
grand musical recitation, and so thorough
ly rende red that the audience was almost
spell-bound at the sweetness and harmony
of the blending voices in singing the Grand
Old Hymn.
Recitations by .Mrs. McCjttaid, simply
great, showing remarkable powers as a re
lined and strong elocutionist. Everybody
enjoyed them.
A Vocal Solo "Anchored" by John Jerome
McCourt, of HI Paso, was A No. 1 and
everybody enjoyed it immensely J o h n
McCourt is good in everything hi; does.
Instrumental Solo, by Alex. D. Golden-
bcrg was well executed, showing much
musical talent. A Vocal Solo, "May
Morning," a difficult piece, was well ren
dered by Mrs. Jarrell.
The recitation akie and Old Jacob, by
Miss Ruth A her, kept the audience in a
roar of laughter, and the rendition co u 1 d
not be improved upon, was an excellent
piece of acting. Mandolin and guitar, by
Anderson, Herring and Miss Anderson, of
course was good, and the audience regret
ted there was not More of it.
"()!' Picket's Nell," by Miss Anderson,
to say good, would be putting it mildly
yes, it was better than that. It was as
natural as nature. "Over The Ocean
Mine," by Jerome McCourt, like his p r e -vious
song, was good, very good. Every
body declared the entire performance the
best ever given in Tucumcari. We are
very proud of our local talent .
