mot only is she panstaking artist but her voice is
ruted TO the role and we shall be sure at least of pure
information in the concerted music. Irfre and Belni
are well suited with their roles and in Revere we expect

MR.. yBHIN PRUMB's CONCERT.
Mr. Jehin Prumes Concert at Irving Hall on
Saturday evening, was quite largely attended. His
reputation was but little known here, but as be came
from good stock and good school, expected much
from his performance and we were not disappointed.
He has a grand and pure tone; powerful in its out
speaking quality and rich in its expressive and sen
mental infections. His execution is brilliant, clear
and deoisive his stopping is accurate and hrm, anu
his bowling emphatic perhaps. than graceful but
wonderfully effective. His style of the demonsratve
romantic school which permits of exaggerated ex-
pressiona permit of which Mr. Prume ayails himself
TO the fullest extent His manner is broad and en-
phatc bat he INDUCES too, in the gssando an effect
admirable when sparingy used, but mawkishly senti'
mental when INDUCED in layishy. Still, we must rank
Mr.. Prume very high as solo violinist and we are
satisfied that be will make marked success in this
country for his strong points are just those which tel
upon the masses. We trust that shall soon have an
opportunity of hearing him again.
Miss Zelda Harrison has most beautiful voice, and
is steadily progressing in excellence. She sings most
effectively and is very popular with her audience She
strives perhaps little too much. TO display the whole
compass of her voice in doing which she sacrifices good
taste for effect This habit is perncious and should be
avoided Mr. Weeks has a very charming voice and is
rapidly improving. Mr.. s. b. Mills played very finely.
AS usual and was vehemently applaaded The Concert
was great success throughout and will, we hope, en-
courage Mr.. Prume tosgiye another
