Salisbury Family Concert Was Received With Great Applause.

The Salisbury Family Concert Co. gave a very delightful entertainment Thursday night at the Presbyterian church. The audience was large and unanimously appreciative. The company consists of ten people, Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury and their six children and the wife of their oldest son and Mr. Harry Tripp, who during the concert season also goes by the name of Salisbury. The members of the company are excellent musicians individually, and as a company their orchestra music is superb. In every respect the entertainment met up with the recommendations that preceded it. Probably the songs and readings of Miss Mayme Salisbury were the most liberally applauded. Her readings were pronounced by many the best they had ever heard. She has a delightful manner, clear enunciation, grace in motion and gesture without any excesses that are so often assumed by readers. Her selections were new and made hits with every auditor. Mrs. Salisbury played well on the piano and delightfully on the marembaphone. The father of the company played the slide trombone, the mother played a bass violin and an alto horn, the eldest son the cello and bass horn. Harry the violin, one of the daughters the flute and clarinet. Miss Mayme the drums and accessory traps and two of the other sons the cornets. Some concert singing was intermingled with the music and it was a delighted audience that listened to the entire program. They went from here to Monticello, where they have performed several times and where they are great favorites. They are just starting out on the winter trip after their summer vacation. During the summer period Mr. Salisbury booked the company for the seven months' season and they are engaged for every week night up to the last of April. They travel mostly in Indiana. Illinois and Ohio.
