Weeks Company, which was the second number on the local lydouin here, was greeted by a large audience Monday night in, the new High school auditorium, and all who were there seemed to have enjoyed the evening thoroughly. This was Mr. Weeks third time to entertain a Walterboro audience, but it was none the leas enjoyed, for he was accompanied this visit t<y Mrs. Weeks, and Miss Lulu Sindair. both of whom added greatly to the evening’s entertainment. Mrs Weeks has a sweet soprano voice, and her singing is character ized by a simplicity of method in gaining^effect that is refreshing. Her duets with Mr. Weeks were perhaps the most enjoyable selec tions of the evening. Not one of the least entertaining of the evening's events were the selections on the violin bv Mias Lulu Sinclair, ft violinist of rare ability. One of her selections waa a song, which she' sung and played on the violin and piano all at the same time. The school days selection by Mr. and Mrs. Weeks with Miss Sinclair at the piano was the last on the pro gram but by far not the least. fi' f JR vv HO,\\ W B. GRUBER.
