CONCERT MRs. ONnL.-Some twenty years ago or
thercabou,s artist TO succeed 10 New York, should
have extensive European reputation. "a Scala at
aan, Les itaens at Paris, Her Maestys Opera House
in London should nj least have endorsed the merits and
heralied the name OF singer before New York au
dencc put the seal OF appreciation upon the artist Now
It is all different We test the merits Of singer by
improved Judgment. We have grown independent
n this regard OF European schooling. In fact things
so far reversed that the stamp OF New
York success is requisite 70 obtain that boon
for opera singer In Europe. People Ia Europe
want something fresh, and there Is nothing
fresher than American prma donna, she Is worthily
appreciated. We like novelties too we import tncm
from Europe, as wo do our silks aud diamonds But tho
standard OF great European reputation s no longer re-
qured We reminded this fact at the concert OF
Mrs. 0'NeiI on Thursday evening Here was lady cn-
trely stranger, her name but itto known, oxcept
through tho enoomums OF the Bctsh newspapers which
spoke OF the ballad singing Of Miss James as some
thing far above the in class of art yet,
being really good artist, Der FIRST concert irving Hall
was success botn in the attendance which was oxoeed
nsy large, and the applause, which marked very do
cded appreciation OF tho lady vocal powers and excellent
rendering not alone OF the simple ballads but the more
elaborate Italian music which she ossayed.
