TIE MENDELssoHN CLUB CONCERT
Notwithstanding the inciemency of the
weather, the New Memphis Theater was
filled last night by a fashionable audi,
snce, the occasion being the fourth grand
concert of the MendelssOhu Club. 1t
was a very pleasant affair, TO which Hand
worker and his orchestra lent their aid,
contributing not q little TO its success,
We think we may safely say that the
Memberships have improved since we
last heard them, and that as well in the
selection OF their programme, its rendi.
tiOn and the conduct OF the concert,
they have proven themselves entire
ly worthy the support and encOUr-
sgement L citizens have Civ
en- them. The "Scena MatrO Pietosa'
from FOrsG del DestiHO was handsomely
done, Mrs. Chapsky sustaining her role
with admirable self-pOssessiOn and good
taste. She was in good voice and sang
well. Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Gideon both
acquitted themselves handsomely, and
the ChOruses by the Club showed that its
members are safe hands to be intrusted
with laying the foundation for future
endsav0r and excellence. We congratu-
late the Club upon last nights perform
sncp,and we thank the la1iss who assisted
to insure so delightful an evenings
entertainment. Mrs. Marx did her
self justice, and Miss Ennis never
appeared to better advantage.
Mr.. Winkler, the conductor. was, as usual,
Fidelity,s self, and proved his capacity As
a pains taking and conscientious must
clan. Taken altogether we think the
Memberships and their assistants aCquit-
ted themselves in a very p~raIsewOrJhy
manner, giving good earnest that they
will not be content with anything less
in the future than q position of equality
with the best musical societies in the
country.
THE ADELAIDE Phillips CONCERT
The attendance at the second concert of
the Adelaide Phillips company, was not
what they deserved. This was no doubt
due TO the concert of the Memberships,
which being a membership affair, of
course, had O-reCed9nce with our people.
It was none the less unfortunate, both for
the public and the artists, who deserved
all that our people could afford Of 6ncOur-
agement. Miss Phillips was in excellent
voice, and sang, if possible, TO better ad-
vantage than on thursday night. A
pleasing incident of the evening trans
pirsd when she was eucOred in the second
part. A a" god - in the gallery, who had,
no doubt, been struck with its mirth-
provoking qualities as Miss Phillips
rendered iJ the night before, called
out, as she entered the stage,
" The Laughing Song" The good artistic

gave the Laughing Song" and, Of
course, with irresistible effect. Every
body laughed, especially tho t~Op-lOfsical
(" god" who will live to remember Miss
Phillips as the most accommodating
as well as one of the most brilliant of ar
tisJes. Levy was an improvement even
upon Thursday nights performance. He
rivaled himself and left an impression
upon his audience i~neflacRble. His pres
ence in Memphis marks an epoch in the
musical annals OF the town. Mr.. Haslar
and Mr. Hoffman sustained their reputa-
tions, the latter being fortunate in that
he had a grand piano on which we noticed
the same Objectionable placsrd, notifying
the public OF a fact easily to be learned
from the programme. Mr. Hoffman i'm
proved the opportunity afforded him by a
good Instrument, and proved the excel
lent qualities of the Steinway st the same
time that he convinced his hearers Of his
artistic taste and skill. Miss Phillips
and her company leave to-day for New
Orleans, where they will give four con-
certs.
