The Lyric Quartette and ' Orchestra Delight Large Audience at Strand Theatre L. RUSSELL HENRY POST DERIVES SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS FROM THE ENTERTAINMENT. HARRY HAMPTON 1 CAPTIVATES WITH HIS HUMOROUS TOWN TALKS '

One of the largest audiences i i i seen in this city at a winter en-': : tcrtainment practically filled the i Strand Theatre on Monday even- I | ing attracted by the announce- I | ment that the famous Lyric Quar- i | tette and Orchestra from Mill1 1 ville would appear, i This gifteii combination of vo- ' jculists anil instrumentalist have 1 j appeared on more than one prev- ; j ions occasion in Ocean City, and ' euch time the highest tributes 1 been paid to them by appre- 1 ; dative audiences. The artists came on this last 1 occasion under the auspices of the ' L. Russell Henry Post of the Vet- 1 of the Foreign Wars. From ' the announcement that this was ; 1 their first annual musical it may ' presumed the Post contempla-;' ed giving some such performance ' each winter. • It may be safely assumed the j 1 first i-.nnual musical proved as ' ! profitably financially to the Post,! a* it was enjoyable to the pub-, The Lyric singers and instru- 1 ( mentalists added fresh laurels to . ( their brows with the performance j ' on Monday last For singing in j I concerted selections the combina- ( ' tion of voices could hardly be exj ceLled. The balance was good the | | intonation faultless, enunciation : I clear and resonant, and their in-; f | of several of the ael- j , jeetiens left little to be desired. ;v l The musical director Prof. E.' ! W. Rumbf had also shown rare ; ; : musical judgment in his arrange- 1 , ; ment of the program It was of a j sufficiently varied character to re- L tain the interest of the audience ), and not a single j selection overtaxed the vocal po- v wers of the singers. „ "The Soldiers Chorus," from a ■ by Charles Gounod was p splendidly rendered, the vocalists , r 'reproducing the martial spirit of ti

»l "What from Vengence," by ■ - ; Donizetti was a triumph of musi- | ; cal interpretation, the lights and i - 1 the shades of the composer's in- j • tricate phrasing being exception- • ■ ally rendered. , As a vocalist pure and simple, , doubtless the basso, J. Ross Cal- . excels over all. His rendi- , . tion of "O'er the Billowy Sea," , . left little to be desired, the incon- • I sequental and rollicking air typi- t ; cal of a sailor being being ably ( 1 interpreted. ( | Herschel Berry demonstrated ; mastery over that elusive in- , , strument the solo cornet beyond . oil doubt. Seldom have we heard j , , such uniformity of tone produced -t , and perfect tongueing displayed. , Ralph Holmes manipulated the | . violin also with indubitable skill c , contribution was a happy choice, and afforded him ample op- y portunlty to display both the ton- t , al qualities of his instrument, and g | his mastery over the technical 'fingering. v | As a humorist, Harry Hampton y needs no introduction to an Ocean t ! audience. His Town Talks . ■completely captivated his hearers. t did Mr. Hampton appear to n experience any compunction in taking the names of a number of c . our local and prominent citizens 0 | ^Un. ,, Tlie committee in charge of i 0 j affairs are to be highly congrntu- ., ; upon their work as an achci- j, j vement of the first quality. j. In particular credit is due Dr. | !.J.

I . Dr. Maroney's address was a disI j tinct anil delightful departure, I | from the usual style of speech on j j physical training, and for that reaI I son was all the more interesting j to the lay mind. j It uqis in brief a studious and ■ thought-provoking exposition of | the philosophy of physical training, and an analysis of the principles anil purposes governing, or which should govern, all systems of physical culture and sport. I It may not be an exaggeration I to say that the majority of I persons, look upon athletics and I sport, s as sometMng to encourage I among young people, merely as a I substitute for something less deI sirable and worthy — sometMng for I idle hands to do, and keep them I from mischief, and inddentally | help to build up strong healthy I physique. I Dr. Maroney convinced his hearI I era that such was a very superfi- « cial view of the subject. Athletics | and sport were indeed most effeeg | tire deterrents against vice, and | the inevitable conquenees of idleI Sport has proved one of the I most valuable agencies by means

■a by which the young can dissipate U superfulous physical energy, withis out suffering moral harm. :s Few hrfVever realize what a powerful agency sport is in the i- building of character.

0. OF A. AHENO ) EVENING SERVICE

^ AT FIRST BAPTIST I DR. BUCK DELIVERED JINBl DISCOURSE ON EMBLEM 0 OF THE ORDER The Daughters ot America attended in a body, at the evening • service of the Firat Baptist ' Church on Sunday, and filled the auditorium to the utmost of its seating capacity. Dr. Milton G. Buck delivered a , memorable and impressive roess- , age to the visiting organisation. ' taking as the basis of Ms dis'f course, the symbolism of the emblem appertaining to the order. As a scriptural foundation for ( Ms sermon, Dr. Buck used the phrase taken from the hundred ' and nineteenth Psalm, "By taking ' heed to Thy Word." The emblem ' of the order, said Dr. Duck most i admiringly illustrated its principles and purposes. Firstly the eagle. The king of birds and the monarch of the ait. . throughout the pages of scriptaro . symbolised Mgh aspirations, thainborn in men by means of wMch, they are able to soar up . Into heights of thought an emi - ; tion, far beyond the material and the temporal. ^ Secondly, the Shield. The - shield in former days was indi* - 1 penalble in warfare. It afforded i In the hands of the skilled wai rior, ample protection against : spear and sword. Thirdly. The emblem of tbd order of necessity contained the nations flag. Dr. Buck very effectively made use of it* colors, t « • emphasize the message he ha ! prepared for the visiting ladies. Scarlet represented the sacrifidvl 1 blood which runs through both the pages of divine revelation and human M story', white symboHsr-i I sincerity, and blue truth. Dr. Buck rera'aided them j I that the Bible was the foundatie-i I i upon which the American Kapu;- J lie was established. Special patriotic mimic appro. I _ priale for the occasion, was ram'- 1 ' dered by the choir ander the dir- I ection of Qiaton Umhs. Sco t j Adams contributed a solo rends re | J
