The annual concert for the ' benefit of. the Kearns St. Anne's orphanage proved to be a success in every, way. The first number was "Columbia," by the entire Cecelian chorus of St. Mary's cathedral. The children made a beautiful and inspiring picture, under un-der calcium lights, dressed in white, with little tots only 3 years old in the front row, .to the tall young ladies in the rear of the stage. Each had an American flag that was waved In time with the music- The next number was the "Dear Little Lit-tle Shamrock," and in an instant every child, raised the beautiful green flag of Ireland. The effect of the white-rrowned white-rrowned chorus, the flags, the green-festooned green-festooned electric cross, made a nic- ture that will long remain in the minds of all present.

A very attractive feature of the con-. ! cert this year was the appearance of the All Hallows College band, under j Prof. Pedersen. - The boys opened . the j concert with a fine march that in- ) spired all; both performers and audience.' audi-ence.' " The "Potpourri of Irish : Airs," .so skilfully rendered, brougth forth thunderous thun-derous applause. -. .Every number on the programme merits special mention that lack of space prevents. That the concert-was a success is gratifying the clergy and laity alike. The Catholics of this cjty are only called upon once a year to support the orphanage; but to their credit it can be said that they do their duty on this one occasion by try-j try-j ing to make the affair successful. . |
