GRAPHITE.
Oct 20. At Echo Mountain hall Wednesday evening. Oct. 14th, the music, in connection with the motion picture reels, consisted of piano by Miss Bradley; violin by Lewis Bartlett and banjo by Amos Ross. On Saturday evening, Oct. 17th, the West Hague quartette consisting of Amos and Wilford Ross with Lawrence Ross of Ticonderoga and Eddie Ross of Abells Corners, Vt., with Mrs. Leslie Hayes as pianist furnished excellent music and singing. Miss Bradley, the regular pianist, presided at the piano during the run of motion picture reels and, taken as a whole, no better evening's entertainment could be wished for. The banjo and harp were also brought into play at the latter entertainment by Amos and Lawrence Ross. The management of Echo Mountain hall wishes to announce that no stone will be left unturned in order to give patrons a fine evening's enjoyment at the ball each Wednesday and Saturday eve. and in view of this extra music, both vocal and instrumental, will be in evidence in connection with the regular run of reels.
