Mrs. MoULToN.-The great musical
sensation next week will be the Moulton
concerts, on next Monday and Tuesday
evenings at the Memphis .Theater Of
one of her recent concerts in New York
the critic Of the Courier Des Etats Unis
gives the following piquant description;
Her soiourn in Paris was one endless
ovation, and her reputation was sealed
by the following little scene related as
having been acted in the salons OF Ros-
sini's dwelling. After Mrs. Moulton had
seated herself at the piano and sang
few bars, the maestro, possessed OF sa-
cred enthusiasm, rose and cried, Vottd,
Ia coirl la Voildi It's the voice that
sings in my imagination when l am In
spired." Ingres foresaw Mrs. Moulton.
when he painted the superb picture OF
Cherubini, with the muse debating to
him his celestial melodies. Rossini, too
had found his muse, and had he been in
the bath, he would have rushed forth
through the streets of Syracuse, ike
Archimedes, shouting Eureka. AT
length came the first concert 1t was
the day before yesterday, at Steinway
Hail. All the high representatives OF
wealth, fashion and beauty were there;
evening dress was de mise; low-cut
waitss and white cravats were in the ma
FORTY. 1t was gala event, and Ia dira
would have been justified in fancylng
that she held an imperial audience under
the spell of her Republican aristocracy:
Her appearance, Of course, was greeted
with applause. Then silence reign
ed, and it was given to NOR
tails to hear heavenly voice. Mrs.
Moulton first sang Bel Raggio, from
Semiramide, and Rossini's admirable
embroidery was never executed with
greater ease .and purity. Then Gou-
mods ave Maria, exhibited in the pro-
longed notes an incompatible hrmness
and equality of tone. Thus much for
the instrument; as for the sentiment and
method, they are perfection, and we
doubt if any artist can express with
more soul ell the shades of that divine
melopalia.
