Her recitals, illustrated by pictures, are well received and applauded. Chas. H. Whiting possesses a fine baritone voice, and is obliged to respond to several encores with his illustrated gongs. The moving pictures which Edward Shields exhibits take the audience every time, showing as they do, the struggles which the boys have been through in the Philippines. Several series of pictures taken ou the firing line were shown. The collection is most interesting.
