The Berger Family opened at Jahney's
Hall, last night, to very complimentary
andience-the house was filed. The en-
tertainment was. in all respects, rich
treat, and proved decided success.
The Bergers' excel on the bells. The
grand quick step was handsomely exc
cuted. The most difficult variations on
popular airs are introduced and rendered
with astonishing precision. On every
instrument this accomplished family play
with pleasing effect. The programme
was agreeably varied with vocal music.
Miss Maud Stanley is superior vocalist,
and sings with expression and effect.
Her voice is clear and pure, and espe-
cially 80 in the upper register, in which
she displayed great power. Sol Smith
Russell made great hit with his humor-
GUS songs and amusing impersonations.
He has extraordinary command of the
facial muscles, and he uses them to so
completely impersonate a variety of
characters that each is as distinct from
the other as all are distinct from Mr..
Russell himself. Altogether the enter
tainment is chaste, artistic, varied,
answering the laudable end of harmless
and healthful amusement.
