MUSICAL ENIERTAIHNI
Such music as w?s i>iv->n ihe audience
at Klks' hall last eight was never hea*d
in Skagrway belorc. Although the at
tendance was small it was appreciative
at ail times aud heartily applauded
lioih Miss Verne and Mrs. Dresser,
whose rich soprano voice filltd the hail
ard captivated all its heaiers. Taking
it all in all the program was excellent
and wiiiie Skagway has some musici
aus of considerable ability and is used
to srood music, nevertheless, last night's
performance was an eclipse of nil past
musicals heard in this city. Mrs. I
Drcbsor and Miss Verne have pone to
Dawson and will give several perform
ances in that city. The Elks have
made arrangements to have them ap
pear again in this city about the 28th
and U' doubtedly the artists wiii at that
time be greeUe.V'by a crowded house
is hich their artistic merit so richly de
serves.
