Ridley, will put on a program which has nev er been surpassed in this city.

While here she gave an entertainment for the summer school one evening, and all who saw her pronounce her work artistic to the nth degree. Mrs. Charlie Moore, president of the Service Star Legion, expresses great pleasure in the enthusiasm that has been arroused among those who have heard that this entertain ment is to be given, and that there doubtless will be a packed audience to greet the*** young artists.
