ASHLAND,. . . .WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1897
Notice to High School Alumni.
Hext Concert Company.
The entertainment bv the Hext Con
cert Company given in the opera house
last Saturday evening, under the au
spices of the local Maccabees, was a very
successful affair all around. The com
pany is composed of three people, Herr
Carl Walther, Effie Elaine Hext, and
Prof. Hulob, all of whom possess rare
talent and remarkable development.
The ability of Mr. Walther is brought
forth on the violin, which instrument,
in the hands of this accomplished musi
cian, seemed to respond to his skillful
touch with an intelligence th;*t at Cnee
enlisted the deepest admiration of all
within hearing. Miss Hext’s ability lies
along the line of elocution, and her
achievements much surpass the ordina
ry. Her first selection was somewhat
too heavy for general appreciation. In
subsequent renditions, however, her
merit shone to better advantage. The
posings by Miss Hext were thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience, and favorable
comment is not lacking. Prof.-Hulob’s
executions on the piano are generally
conceded to have l>een faultless, and ad
mirers of his ability are many.
The attendance at the concert was
large, and the proceeds were satisfactory
to all concerned. After paying expenses,
the K. O. T. M. have ft nice little addi
tion to their treasury account.
