Now to the American platform his six entertainers bring all the musical attainments of strict training, besides great skill with their home music.

It is thoroughly unique and alto gether delightful entertainment which is presented by the Tyrolean Alpine Singers. Dressed in the picturesque first Tyrolean troupe of that time native costume they constitute an at mosphere that is like a real breath from the air of the mountains. There must be something in that air which is conducive to vocal development of a high order, too, for these Alpine singers are all endowed with magnifi cent voices. Throughout a delightful program, which was entirely out of and in which there was not a moment of monotony or dullness, a large au dience was kept thoroughly amused and entertained. The simplicity and native air of the mountain folk is maintained without any perceptive artificiality, and they sing and warb- el and echo their national songs with an evident enjoyment and zest which it is a pleasure to see and hear. vx~x-<-<-v~x~x~x~x~x-x^xk-<~>*x~xx<~x~x~X“:~xx~X“X~x~x-X“:-x-:-v-X" I • Dr. Albert Marion Hyde.
