PrpER's OPERA HoUsE-rHE HYERs
SserERs. The first concert of the
.Hysrs Sisters was given last evening
to q very large audience. The dress
circle was we'll and fashionably filled,
and the parquette and boxes were also
crowded. These deserving a~rtistes
may we'll be proud Of their reception
and success. The entertainment given
comprised a pleasing variety of popu-
lar arias, operate selections in both
italian and English, ballads, songs.
ETC., Ill of which were so exceedingly
we'll rendered that 1t were useless to
M ticularize. The Sisters are colored,
-, ,>,easIng, modest, and decidedly
attractive In appearance. Few even
amono the most experienced profess
siouai singers ace possessed OF a more
nnassuming, naturally graceful style.
They are both young, n with age
and experience will acquire q Sreater
degree of confidence, giving, perhaps,
greater effect to their sweet vocal
isms. Miss Annie has a pure, sweet
clear and flexible soprano voice, 0 tgoou
compass and power, one OF the finest
and best cultivated We have yet heard
upon that stage, while her sister Emma,
who Is the youngest, is possessed OF a
rich, full and powerful contralto voice,
of remarkable compass, ranging well
into both tenor and bass. The blend
ing of these two voices In the duets
ard choruses was very harmonious ana
t.pe in effect. Mr.. Joseph Stokes lie
Count IS an excellent baritone singer,
soune and evidently inexperienced,
and succeeded very we'll indeed. The
effect of the singing was materially
assisted by the most excellent anu
tasteful piano playing OF Prof. Sauer,
of Virginia, who oticiated III place IL
the pianist who usually accompanies
the Sisters, but who is sick at present.
The Professor was highly compliment
