NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE 
STANDISH QUARTET ENTERTAINED AT 
AnnuaL Gurst Nicut IN 
Town HALL. 
Every available seat in Manchester 
Town hall was occupied on Tuesday 
evening for the annual Guest Night 
entertainment of the Friendship cir- 
cle of the Baptist church. The pro- 
gram of musical and literary num- 
bers was supplied by the Standish 
Male quartet of Boston. The affair 
was an unqualified social and finan- 
cial success. The members of the 
quartet were W. C. Mooney, first 
tenor; Otto E. Lewis, second tenor.; 
R. L. Van Buskirk, baritone, and W. 
H. Corliss, basso. 
The first number was by the quar- 
tet, “Wake with the Lark.” It was 
encored heartily and the singers re- 
sponded with “Miss Capalina” and 
“When I Was a Little Boy.” A bass 
solo, “The Clang of the Foeman’s 
Steel,” by Mr. Corliss, was well re- 
ceived and for encore he sang “Ship 
of State.’ The quartet sang “Bye, 
Baby, Bye,” “Blow Ye Winds of the 
Morning” and “When the Mercury 
Went Down.” Mr. Van Buskirk gave 
a reading of. Henry Van _ Dyke’s 
“America for Me,” and was enthusi- 
astically applauded. Another read- 
ing, “The Scratchin’ at de Door,” was 
effectively given and he told a num- 
ber of stories. 
The quartet then entertained with 
20 minutes of old-time songs, includ- 
ing southern melodies and many fam- 
dliar old tunes. One of the features 
of these songs was the solo part of 
“When You and I Were Young” by 
Mr. Lewis. Mr. Van Buskirk told a 
number of stories and gave a reading 
of James Whitcomb Riley’s “Candle 
Lightin’ Time.” One of the features 
of the evening was Mr. Van Bus- 
kirk’s “sermon.” Two pleasing tenor 
solos were sung by Mr. Lewis, “I 
Bring You Heart’s Ease and Roses” 
and “Sunshine in Your Smile.” The 
concluding number was “Good Night,” 
by the quartet. 
Ice cream was served after the en- 
tertainment.

ANOTHER PROTEST to be used for purposes of common 
AGAINST APPROPRIATION FoR “Mos- 
guito FunpD”’ IN MANCHESTER. 
Editor North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: I was glad to see in 
your issue of March 18th a protest 
egainst the appropriation of the town 
of Manchester of $5000 for the “Mos- 
Guito Fund.” I am in entire agree- 
rent with the protest. It seems a 
foolish piece of extravagance to spend 
money on what is certainly a passing 
fad, and at this time of serious 
thought and action, Manchester 
would do better to hold her money 
for the important calls which will 
doubtless be made upon her as a town. 
Men will be wanted for work for our 
state, to keep our sea border intact, 
and on our farms to plant and _ har- 
vest our fields. Better employment 
surely, than to dig mud holes in 
swamps, of no use whatever. 
I am hoping that at the next town 
* meeting that $5000 will be called in,

—An OLD MANCHESTERIAN. 
Boston THEATRE. 
The very latest Theda Bara pro- 
duction, “Her Greatest Love,” pro- 
duced by William Fox in six power- 
ful parts, and shown exclusively for 
the first time in Boston at the Boston 
Theatre, heads the bill at that play- 
house the week of April 2. “Her 
Greatest Love” is a super de luxe 
photodrama of intensely realistic and 
absorbing love interest, with Miss 
Bara in the role of a girl who is sac- 
rificed to’ aid her mother’s ambition.
