and
CHICAGO BOY CHOIR
Hartford, Ohio. Redpath-Slayton Lyceum Bureau:—Sarah Wathena Brown with the Chicago Boy Choir entertained a large audience in this place last evening with a delightful program. They cannot fail to please everywhere. The training that Mrs. Brown has given the boys is simply marvelous. As a harpist Mrs. Brown is an artist. Performances on the various musical instruments were received with applause. The boys sang their way into the hearts of all present.
Yours truly,
Armen K. Kalenian, Mgr.

—The Chicago Boy Choir appeared in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium Tuesday evening on the entertainment course and thoroughly pleased the large audience. The program was a varied one, consisting of vocal numbers, selections on the harp, and readings. Fancy costumes, some national songs, a marimbaphone, bagpipes, castinets and tambourines were also introduced. The delightful program closed with a selection by the boys in choir costume, Jerusalem the Golden, with harp accompaniment.
Dunkirk, N. Y., Daily Herald:
—The third number on the Masonic entertainment course, Wathena Brown and her Chicago Boy Choir pleased a large audience in the new Masonic temple last evening. Mrs. Brown, the harpist, and the four boys furnished an entertainment that was unique and pleasing in the extreme and each number was greeted with well merited applause. Mrs. Brown's selections on harp, piano and marimbaphone were rendered in a manner that stamped her as a musician of unusual ability. The four boys are all possessed of beautiful voices which harmonize splendidly and their singing and character work was exceedingly clever and showed the best and most valuable training.

—The program was one that could not fail to appeal and each number was given hearty applause. The entire program was rendered with a finish that could not be excelled and the Knights are to be congratulated upon the high class attraction that has started their season.
