REYNOLDS'S SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS,

ST. GEORGE'S HALL

The sixth of these highly popular and truly interesting
entertainments took place in St. George's Hall, on Satur-
daY evening, on which occasion that magnificent building was
but moderately filled ; as, on a former occasion, we regret to
saY that many of the reserved and body seats were vacant.
The Programme for the evening was, perhaps, one of the most
attractive that has ever been presented at any similar enter-
taiument, the selections being so varied as to accommodate
the taste of all ; and the reception each artiste received was
most enthusiastic, and the applause with which all their
"la were—greeted almost electrifying—encore follow-
ing encore in such repeated succession that Mr. Reynolds,
the manager, was, with reluctance, cmpelled to request
the audience to consider the length of the programme, and
Ilated that it would be impossible to get through with it if
the encores were continued. Of the singers —Miss La-
vine, Mr. D. Miranda, and Mr. Scarisbrick—we have
Previously expressed an opinion, and we have now to add that,
co the present occasion, they, if possible, surpassed their
former efforts, and by their taste and excellent singing
obtained for themselves additional and lasting favour
amongst the people of Liverpool. With reference to Miss
Lavine, of whom we spoke in the most tavourab' e terms last
Week, we can safely assert that Mr. Reynolds will have great
difficulty to fill the place of this lady, to whom, and to
/* Buckstone, Esq., of the Theatre Royal, Haymarket,
Lona
-on, of whose company she is a talented and favourite
member, we are greatly indebted. To criticise any one of
her
performances is unnecessary, suffice it to say that,
"err occasion, the repetition of her songs was loudly de-
reuded, and as gracefully and cheerfully complied with
r rendering
of " When wilt thou meet me, love .
a brilliant gem. Madame Constantini made hor first
aPpearance at these concerts, and the easy and polished
style in which she sang " Coming thro' the Rye,"
and " I dream's I dwelt in Marble Halls," after
being most rapturously encored, proved that she has
gaiaed high eminence in her profession, and stamped herself
1,48 a great favourite. The impression she made will not
be fo-gotten by those who had the pleasure of hearing
'her. The able and efficient manager, ever desirous to add
additional attraction to these entertainments, and in
Bering for which he has displayed so much taste and
Judgment, introduced quite a new feature into the
Programme—the name of a comic singer, Mr. Vango.
Thte gentleman's introduction to a Liverpool audience was,
after he had sting his first song, is the Singing Gentleman,"
the most flattering that ever was shown to any artiste. The
entire audience greeted him with such a b Hat of applause
as, was scarcely ever before heard, the building echoing with
their plaudits. He sang most excellently, and the selections
alluted him were well adapted to his peculiar style, being
%°4- that the most fastidious could not utter the
%lightest complaint. He has deservedly gained great
I)°Polarity, and should the management be enabled
t° secure his services on another occasion, we should
tecortimend all who have any taste for the comic to
4°411 themselves of the opportunity of hearing this
gentleman. The entire entertainment went off with the
greatest success, and the manner it was received showed
vi truly it was appreciated. We can only express our
4013 e that the exertions made by Mr. Reynolds may be
"warded with the success which he so eminently deserves
411 d that, under his management, the " Hall of the People'
°f Liverpool may weekly be the resort of the industrious
°itizerl and his family.
