PIpER's OPERA HoUsE-FIRsT Con-
| CENT OF Miss ADELAIDE PnILLIPrs.-
The first concert OF Miss Adelaide
Phillips, assisted BY c. W. Rayner. J.
Levy ard +. j. Passmore, was given
at the Opera House last evening, to a
very fair audience, considering the
crowded benefit concert Of Professor
Gee the evening before. The enter
tainment consisted Of choice vocal and
instrumental selections from the popu-
lar music of the day, and was very
approximately received. Miss Phil
lipps Is a lady of fine, agreeable pres
ence, which combined with the mel
low, rich, clear music Of her fine
soprano voice, to command the rapt
| admiration of her critic auditors. 1t
was difficult to discriminate between
the various pieces she sung, and say
which was really the best, her artistic
operate selections, the hearty, conta-
gious good humor Of her LMHghiHg
ISORh or her sweet, Soul-felt rendition
of Kathleen .MdcoWrneeH. accompanying
herself oil the piano. Her duet From
The Alps the Hora Res0Wndinn with the
cornet obligato of Mr.. Levy, was i'll
comparably fine. Such a rich combi-
nation of vocal and Instrumental excel
lence is seldom heard-never before
in this section. AS to the cornet
playing of Mr.. Levy, We are
perfectly willing to accord what Is
claimed for him. that he Is the great
est cornet player in the world" He
produced music from his magic corIet
of which We never dreamed the instru-
ment capable. Certainly it is the It
suit of long and inceSSant practice,
combined with great talent In that
line, yet his performance seemed to lis
little short Of miraculous. Mr.. Rayner
possesses q remarkably rich, full, pow
erful bass voice, Its compass extending
to the finest baritone, and the songs
given by him We're very artistically
and we'll given. Indeed, each singer
was apprcciatively encored, and every
song highly ~applauded. As to the
cornet playing, the audience could
hardly get enough of it. MIR. Pasmorc
showed himself an excellent pianist.
4 new programme throughout Is All
nounced for this evening, and Levy
proposes to play the C,unicm Of Fe"ice,
| with variations. something no cornet
PLAYER hereabouts ever thought posi-
BILE before. Mr.. Rayner also gives q
new song. dedicated to the Choral
Society.
