Delightful Entertainment at the Princess Friday Evening.

Some moral principals that have seemed to be entirely unrelated to business are found in these’ later days to apply there as aptly as in religious things and men are learning that it pays to give, and pur progressive fellow townsman, Col. Fred Phillips, following the up-to-the-minute methods of Lyon & Healy, gave a most pleasing coneert and moving picture entertainment at the Princess Friday afternoon and evening, under the direction of the IJdison demonstrator. The house was filled all afternoon with the children, whom Mr. Phillips laughingly informed hb could not use in the evening. Your reporter could not help but regret as we watched this great throng of plastic, eager childhood seeking for entertainment, that more was -not done to furnish moving pictures that would meet the especial needs of the children. We are neglecting a great opportunity for education. The musical numbers were fine and no doubt every auditor who heard this concert wished for an Edison,‘that the best things in music might be available in the home. So no doubt the “bread cast upon the water’ in this way'will return before many days.
