A large crowd was in attendance
at the Tuesday Night Forum to hear
the splendid program and the report
made by the captains and their clubs.
The ladies turned in over $157.00.
The complete report and presentation
of prizes will be given at the Forum
Tuesday night, March 6th. The large
audience enjoyed a splendid program,
every number being exceptionally
good. Dr. Pryor’s address on “Unity”
was interesting and full of good prac
tical thought. Miss Mildred Bryant’s
piano solo was a real treat and very
much enjoyed. Mrs. F. J. McCullough
one of Omaha’s brilliant young wom
en who always pleases her hearers
both in papers and recitations was at
her best in the rendition of “The
Fire.” Misses Cordelia Johnson and
Birtie McRoy, two of St. John’s popu
lar misses in the musical circle, sweet
ly sang the duet, “Come Holy Spirit,”
and received rounds of applause
which demanded an encore. Mrs.
Fannie Russell, Omaha’s favorite
elocutionist of the older set, held
the audience spell bound in her
beautiful rendition of “The Polish
Boy,” and reached a pleasing climax
in the encore, “I am sweet sixteen."
