THE PHILISTINES CLUB

FIFTH REVEL The fifth revel of the Philistines’ Club was held on Saturday evening: in the Grafton Hall. Members attended in force, and there were a number of visitors present, all of whom were cordially welcomed by the chairman of the evening:, Mr. Harold T. King. A particularly attractive and varied programme was presented, and the audience was most enthusiastic in its applause. Enjoyable vocal items were rendered by Miss Prowse. Mrs. Gatenby and Mr. Sutherland, and Mr. Turner Peliuet gave two amusing monologues at the piano. A novel and effective note was introduced by the “Hennessey Three Stars,” and Mr. Houghton’s humorous recital, performed on grand 6pera lines kept his listeners rippling with amusement. Mr. Fred McCallum contributed two excellent humorous items, and Mrs. Scantlebury and Mrs. Verran appeared in a sketch entitled “The Other Woman.” Miss L.
