The first part was eminenily classical.
The playing Of the little misses was very
fne, no os,entata,ioD, but every note struck,
and the emotional expression was very
manifest Little Katie Blunt, but nine YEAR
old, evidently understood the spirit OF the
great master she played, and from her fin
gers the tones fell to US as sobs from his
broken heart.
Miss Ella Few chose the piano az her solo
instrument, and her difficult and beautiful
selec ion showed very gratifying progress in
es,hetic culture but again we hope she will
remember that her friends desire not the
piano less, but the violin more.
The duet by the teachers, Miss Mary
Kelsey and Miss NJ. j. Douglass, showed
such skill and taste as TO inspire the patrons
of the Conservatory with confidence. Sci
dom have We heard selection rendered
with more beauty of expression.
The singing Of Miss Duval more than
met the expectations Of her most enthu-i-
astic admirers Her selections were direct
contrasts and presented some OF the greatest
difficulties in vocal expression; yet the
green fields and springing flowers OF Hay
dn's exquisite picture were nos more mani
fest than the deep forest and stormv dark
ness Of Schuber,'s. The effort places her
in the front rank of our coming sopranos,
both as to quality and compass of voice
and command of it. In her part, "a Queen,
We saw manifestations Of dramatic talent OF
no small order.
The cantata furnished the sensational ele
ment, but contained 20 much Of real beauty
and solid instruction, that We took it a. a
finely seasoned dish Of substantial, health |
ful diet.
Ii supplies to the pupils all OF the grace |
Of posture and rhy thmical movement OF the |
dancing school, BY its characters and per-
sonations, an excellent lesson in beauty Of |
color and fitting wardrobe, with q siimu- |
lous to neurological study, equal TO under |
standing such illusions in our current lit
erature. All this wsa, in addition to the |
oe-t of vocal drill, since they sing in motion
md without books.
Mrs. Hoyland has q nazzo soprano voice,
II rare richness, and we shall expect much
rom her in the future.
The baritone of Mr. Smith is also full Of
promise, and his n tive grace, though hid
len, was not concealed.
We cannot father specify, where all did
o we'll. The fixed attention of the appre-
iative audiance, was the best evidence Of
be complete success of the entertainment.
