WEDNESDAY EVENING CLUB 
Most Interesting Program of the Season Car- 
ried Out—A Trio From Boston the Stars 
of the Evening 
The April meeting of the Wednes- 
day Evening club of Manchester, 
held in the chapel Wednesday even- 
ing was considered the best of the 
season, as regards the excellency of 
the talent and interest manifest on all 
sides by the members of the club. 
The George Nelson Price Co., com- 
posed of Miss Winifred Leonard of 
Boston, Miss Blanche E. Smail of 
Dorchester, both formerly of the “Col- 
lege Widow company,” and George 
N. Price of Watertown, formerly with 
the Thespian Dramatic company, were 
the star entertainers of the evening. 
Each read several selections and the 
fete farce, ‘A Jar at the Jacks,’ 
which closed the program was a whole 
evening’s entertainment in itself. 
After the records of the previous 
meeting had been read President 
Cheever turned the meeting over to 
A. S. Jewett, chairman of the com- 
mittee in charge, who presented the 
program of the evening. 
A whistling solo by Mrs. Flanders 
of Salem, “Birds of the Brook,’’ was 
the first number and proved very en- 
tertaining, indeed, as did the other 
selections by Mrs. Flanders, including 
“The Mocking Bird,’ and ‘Rich- 
mond.” 
“The Irishman’s Love Story’’ was 
very interestingly told by Miss 
Leonard, whose articulation hit the 
mark to perfection, and her imperson- 
ation of “The Young Lady in the 
pore Exchange” was true to 
ife. 
The many friends here of Roderick 
Macdonld of Somerville were pleased 
to hear him in his several selections. 
He sang ‘‘Kathleen Mavoureen”’ and 
as an encore, Bartlett’s “A Dream.” 
He afterwards sang ‘Mona’ by 
Adams, and “Where thé Southern 
Roses Grow,” by Morse. Miss Edith 
Wheaton was accompanist. 
In his reading, ‘Captain Baz’s 
Story’ Mr. Price depicted very 
graphically the life of a convict in 
Arizona, and demonstrated the talent 
which he is known to possess as a 
reader. When he was called back for 
an encore he recited a very catchy 
little poem. 
Miss Smail scored the hit of the 
evening in her reading, ““How Henry 
took care of the baby.’’ One had to

Will be done promptly, well, and at a 
reasonable price, if you have it done by the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
look the second time to see that the 
baby was not actually on the stage, 
bawling and yelling, and her imperson- 
ation of impatient Henry and Mary 
was ideal. ‘The bride’s first dinner 
order’’ proved equally interesting. 
Her picture of the young house wife 
going to market and buying chops by 
the bunch, asking for French chops 
that were not imported, buying 
chickens, a few plane steaks, a little 
fish and her admonition to be sure to 
send up the ‘“jibbits,’—all for one 
dinner, was very graphically told. 
After the intermission the sketch, 
“A Jar at the Jacks,” was put on, 
with the following characters : 
Lorenzo Jack, Mr. Price ; Amelia, 
his wife, Miss Leonard; Patty, his 
sister, Miss Smail. The scene was in 
the kitchen of their flat. Amelia 
bought the latest thing out, an auto- 
matic cook and second girl, and Mr. 
Price and Miss Smail took off the 
characters in such a way as to keep 
the audience in a constant roar of 
laughter from beginning to end. 
The committee in charge was com- 
posed of: A. S. Jewett. C. C. Dodge, 
A. L. Saben, Mrs. G. A. Kitfield, 
Nellie Leonard and Miss’ Edith 
Wheaton. 
The committee for the May meet- 
ing,—the last of the season,—is 
R. L. Cheever; Mrs. L. -W. Carter, 
A. C. Needham, Ethel McDiarmid, 
F.C. Rand, and Mrs, A. L. Saben 
and Albert Cunningham. 
A Communication 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Unless indications are deceptive the 
subscribers of the local papers can be 
prepared to be electrified by news 
and spicy articles red hot from the 
bat, as both of the editorial offices are 
now located with the electrical con- 
tractors. Mr. Marshall of the Cricket 
is located in the office of Mr. Knoerr 
in the Rowe block, while Mr. Lodge 
of the Breeze is to occupy part of the 
office of the Clark & Mills Elec. Co 
in the Pulsifer’s block, and in the lan- 
guage of The Old Farmer’s Alamnac, 
“a storm may be expected about this 
time.” Putup your lightning rods 
and see that your lightning arresters 
are in working order before you delve 
into the papers on Saturday after this. 
Spring poets will have to be very care- 
ful how they approach the editors’ 
sanctum from this time, and in the 
end it may be beneficiai to the public. 
We trust that the induction will be 
of a better order from a hundred and 
ten volt current than it was from the 
rusty scissors used previously.
