NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BEVERLY 
An enthusiastic audience filled 
the Washington Street church on 
Wednesday evening to greet the 
Louise Meek Corbett Concert com- 
pany of Boston and the effort made 
was amply repaid by the charming 
programme which was presented. 
The company is comprised of the. 
Beacon Ladies’ quartette, consist- 
ing of Miss Gertrude Walker, first 
soprano; Miss Marion Croley, mezzo 
soprano; Mrs. Louise Meek Corbett, 
mezzo contralto; and Miss Edith 
E. Woodill, contralto, and Paul 
Martin Paulsen, violinist, and 
Arthur I. Brown at the piano. The 
quartette has been heard _ several 
times to advantage at the twilight 
services at the church, but this was 
the first appearance in Beverly as a 
concert quartette, and it was cer- 
tainly admirable. Each member 
was in excellent voice and the vari- 
ous solos, duets and quartette num- 
bers were beautifully rendered with 
much effect and expression. Of 
course, Mrs. Corbett received an 
enthusiastic reception, and she sang 
in her accustomed charming man- 
ner, while the other soloists received 
warm _ greetings. Mr. Paulsen 
showed his mastery of the violin, 
and was very pleasing. Mr. Brown’s 
work at the piano was likewise a 
delight. 
Rev. Francis J. Curran of St. 
Mary’s church, Dennis F. Coakley, 
Roland F. Standley and Louis P. 
Standley have returned from a trip 
to Jamaica. 
The engagement of Miss Theresa 
M. Schade and George F. Houghton 
of Swanton, Vt., is announced. 
Miss Grace Fuller of Holyoke has 
been the recent guest of friends in 
the city. 
Miss Grace Chamberlain gave a 
recital of “Candida” at the Friday 
afternoon meeting of the Lothrop 
club, and was received with much 
enthusiasm by the members of the 
club. Mrs. Margaret Patch and 
Miss Alice Smith assisted in the 
musical programme.

The many Beverly friends of Ar- 
thur W. Tyler, who for the past 20 
years has been a summer visitor to 
the city, were shocked to hear of his 
death on Tuesday at his sister’s 
home in Plainfield, N. J., from the 
effects of a surgical operation. Mr. 
Tyler was one of the most cultured 
of gentlemen and in his wide experi- 
ence and years of travel had been 
brought in touch greatly with men 
and things and his stories of them 
were always interesting. He was a 
graduate of Amherst College and 
for several years was editor of the 
New York Mail. Afterwards tak- 
ing up library work as a profession 
he was connected in various posi- 
tions with libraries of Johns Hopkins 
University, Indianapolis, Topeka, 
Wilmington, Del., Quincy, Ill., and 
Branford, Conn., and with the Astor 
Library, New York, and within the 
past two years with the Carnegie 
Library in Washington, D.C. The 
interment was in the family plot in 
Pittsfield, Mass., his birthplace. Mr. 
Tyler will be greatly missed by his 
friends in the city, who are pained 
to learn of his untimely death. 
Cyrus E. Taylor has left for Can- 
ada, where he will engage in busi- 
ness.
