BERGER FAMILY SWISS Bell RINGERS Odd
Fellows Hall, in this city, was well filed, on
Thursday evening last, with brilliant and
appreeiative audience, the occasion being the
appearance, according to announcement, of
the Berger Family. The performance opened
by several pieces on the Swiss bells, which
we're ereditably played; then came violin
solo, and the third piece was solo by Miss
Nellie Knapp. Miss Knapp has fine voice,
and perfect control over it, but the hall was
too small and not suited for vocal music,
which greatly married the effect.
We expected, when we went to the hall, to
make mention of the best features of the en-
tertainment, but each performer was so pro-
iicient in his or her role, that it would seem
partial 10 iavorably mention one more than
another. However, il there be one more than
another deserving of special notice, it is Miss
Anna, whose character songs and perform.
ances on the cornet aud violin were rare in.
deed, and well received by the audience, who
attested their appreciation by repeated rounds
Of applause. Sidney Franks, also, was IA.
vorite the with audience, to which their fire
quenteneores gave evidence. his inimtable
comic specialties and character songs he drew
forth shouts Of laughter and outbursts Of ap.
plause. Probably the best and most novel
feature Of the entertainment was the cornet
band, composed Of three ladies and four gem
tlemen, whose sweet music delighted the ears
OF all present. The ladies proved themselves
as efficient as the gentlemen, and especially
excited the admiration of the assembly.
As bell ringers, the Berger Family are
scarcely equal to the Peak Family or the Al
leganans, but their entertainment, taken all
together, was far superior In fact, the CON
cert on Thursday evening surpassed anything
Of the kind we ever heard, and those who
failed to embrace the opportunity of hearing
this justly celeprated concert company, missed
a rare musical treat.
